"Finally found my sound"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'd been using 1x12 cabs that had horns in them. However the horns put out such a hiss, I'd always just dialed them to zero, which resulted in a stuffy, deadened sound. Finally decided to switch to 2x10's with no horns and boy, do I ever love this speaker! Lightweight, small, not ported, no horns... and sounds amazing! Very full-spectrum sound.
I am not using the matching head, I am using a TC Electronic BH250 which is a very good match.
I play an Ibanez bass that has bass, treble, and mid controls with a sweepable mid frequency, so I can pretty much dial in any sound I want... and this baby plays them ALL just right! I can go deep, low and boomy, or I can dial it up and get that nice, tight 2x10 sound. This cab does it all!
I have also turned it WAY up and MAN does this thing crank out the dB's!! whoever said it wasn't loud enough... maybe get yer ears checked? I mean yeah, it's not for stadiums, but I'm thinking this think could manage a small club on it's own...
Very, very happy with my purchase. Probably going to buy a matching one so I can double-up if I really want a huge sound! But right now, just this cab and my BH250 fills out my basement music studio and can keep up with drums and a whole band situation no problem.
Not the sexiest bit of kit, the retro silver thing is OK but I might have preferred something else, but I guess they gotta stick with the retro SVT look...

"Wow! With all that tone I thought you were playing the 810!"
Verified Customer

Buy it, if you want the Ampeg tone in a small package.
Sound
It's an Ampeg. I run it throught the Micro amp. I own the SVT 3 Pro and 810 cabs and also the 210 and Micro amp. You can own the sound for $600 rather than $2200. I use both all the time. Both applications live and studio. Recording with the Micro is perfect.
Features
Features great tone!
Ease of Use
Plug and play.
Quality
No problems with any of my Ampeg stuff.
Value
You get what you pay for. In the micro case...you actually get a little more.
Manufacturer Support
Loud Technologies....Have to rate them tops because I've only contacted them for replacement parts and received help.
The Wow Factor
I am buying a second cab, so there you go. Maybe it won't do your tour with it but for smaller live applications, recording and for practice, you need one too!

"LOVE this Cab!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I purchased one of these Cabs last October to pair with my Ampeg PF-500 head. The cab produces great sounds, although to my ears they tend to be a little "dark" and not too boomy. Obviously a 210 tends to be more punchy, and recently I added a second Cab and what a difference! It does seem to be a little underpowered IMO, but the Head I run at full capacity is 500 watts, and these Cabs when paired together can handle a 400 watt load. I don't push them too hard, but with two cabs the highs tend to be brighter and crisper, the midrange is very present, a very "mid" voiced Cab-and as mentioned the low(s) are there (but don't get this Cab thinking it's bringing down the house!). I love the cosmetics, and the facts each cab is only 25lbs!!! Ampeg made another solid product (I heard the tolex wears off over time, but I tend to keep my cabs stationary in a jam room).

"Good Things / Small Packages"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I'll stay with Ampeg for Bass products....why switch when you've found a good product.
Sound
The sound is rich and full. Amazing for a small portable cabinet.
Features
I'm using it with my Ampeg SVT Pro 3 head. The head is rated at 450 watts at 4 ohms or 275 watts at 8 ohms. If you daisy chain two of these speaker cabinets together the ohms drop to 4 and is capable of 400 watts max handling power. It's nice to be able to split the speaker placement locations....that gives an even fullness with a cabinet on both sides of the stage.
Ease of Use
The cabinet sounded good right out of the box and will sound better when the speakers are broken in a little more.....no rattles....just a good low end presence.
Quality
Well made cabinet (Birch Plywood) and light (26 lbs)....this back of mine appreciates that.
Value
At $299/cabinet Ampeg is having a hard time keeping supplies in stock. The economy may be a bit down, but the demand for this cabinet is high.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had any issues at all.
The Wow Factor
Sometimes Good Things come in small packages.

"blown away"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I run a GK800RB head, I have a brand new 15" Peavey Black Widow in a Carvin RL115 cab, that itself was a massive improvement, but I bought the Ampeg SVT210 to get my highs and a nice punch. OMG! First of all, these guys at zzsounds were amazingly easy to deal with, I ordered the cab late Monday, it was shipped Tuesday, I received it Wednesday! with the 4 payment option. that itself was incredible, I opened it up, set it up with my head and 15, turned it on and was totally blown away by the sound, what a bad-ass, ballsy sound!!!! Every review I read about this cab, not only from this site, but other companies too, is true, this cabinet kicks ass! Period!

"Not enough volume"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This speaker cab sounds good, but it is far to quiet for anything other than playing in your living room, unless you plan to mic it all the time. It also cost me $66.20 to return it.
