If that's true, it would be good news for the Ampeg brand name.
Too true. I've heard nothing but problems with alot of their product line since Loud took over and I'm here to tell you - it's not all hot air. The Ampeg name is not
at all what it once was. Case in point - after EXTENSIVE research, I recently pulled the trigger on a PF800. I'd heard that the PF500's had had issues but I'd been assured that the new PF800 series had addressed the problems. What did I end up with? A complete POS that cuts out when pushed - the exact same issues that the rest of the PF line has.
AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!
Ownership by anyone other than LOUD would be a plus in my opinion. Hopefully at some point, the folks at Ampeg will get it through their skulls that any suspect amp topology needs to be eliminated before it ever makes its way to the production line let alone into the hands of consumers. Frustrated with Ampeg a bit, I am.
