Two have failed on me

Picked the first one up on 4/1/08 at SamAsh only to be replaced with the floor sample 6 months later. Now its 10/3/09 and the floor sample has the same failure. After playing for 10-15 min the unit starts to distort badly and I am unable to continue playing. Unit has to be turned off to restore its proper tone. Very disappointed to say the least.

I have had this amp for about six months now and i love it! It provides alot of flexability with the 9 band eq and even with the eq section off for a little boost it still sounds great. For the price it is undeniable and still has that great ampeg tone!

I may not be a the greatest bassist around, but I have been playing long enough to know a quality product when I see one. I have been playing shows with the b2re for about half a year now and have it going through an svt classic 4x10. Let me tell you this baby has got some major power. Even through my 4x10 it shakes the pictures on the walls in my house with the volume at half. The tone is also great considering it is solid state. I was surprised at how warm it sounded, but that's Ampeg for ya. All in all a great amp for any bassist, but if you are really looking to step things up go for the all tube SVT Classic. Nothing beats em.

I've owned this head for about 5 years and still with a pretty active studio and live schedule it's still working great. Not the overall best tone but you have 2 choices 1) get a preamp or 2) spend more money on a hybrid or tube head. Still I can't complain.

You really can't get 450W out of anyother Ampeg product for this price. Quality leaves a little to be desired unfortunatly. I happened to kill some of the solder on the inside power connection from playing to long. Besides the drive to the repair shop, no cost what so ever since there is an Ampeg warranty on this. If you play with effects (overdrive, bootsy wah, goofy stuff) it'll sound a little grainy when you turn off your effects.
