I just looked at my settings, the ones I had it set at for the gig we played a couple weeks ago. I had it set at Bass -1, Mid -2, High +2.5. Since I'm using an EQ pedal to cut at 50hz and boost at 120hz, these settings sound good in our practice space and the club we usually play at. I usually cut the low frequencies where the kick drum needs to sit. This usually gives us a good low end in our mix. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice! How does it do with a drumset and other instruments in a room or at a gig? I assume it's more than loud enough? Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@rockoutvideography91 Plenty loud enough

Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences. This would help me if I ever decide to add another cab. So far, for the club size gigs we are playing, the amp is more than loud enough. I think I had the volume set at 6 2 weeks ago when we played? Either way, it was going through the front of house mixer and out through the mains and wedge monitors, so it should work for me at an even larger venue.

@@rockoutvideography91 No problem, I use mine in a Sepultura tribute band so it does get pushed pretty hard with an overdrive pedal with SGT also engaged but with grit down low.

​@rosssLOL, yeah, that would require some volume! cott5357

Thanks for watching and commenting! Maybe one of our international viewers can answer that question.

My only comparison is my old SVT amp from the 1990s through a 8x10" cab. I don't think the comparison would be fair. They both sound good. As far as budget? I'm happy with my purchase. If you are looking for an amp for practice and gigs in this price range, this one is a good choice. I have been using it for over a year now.

Thank you so much for your kind words and also for helping us out by subscribing! I checked the Ampeg website again, and I still don't see that they are specifically making speaker cabs to match the rocket bass series, or that their other cabs necessarily match with this amp, with the exception of the SVT-15E, which MAY be compatible. It looks like most of their bass cabs are aimed at being compatible their hi wattage amps. Until recently, I haven't paid any attention to speaker / amp matching, because it just hasn't been something I have had to deal with. Now that we are thinking about making our own DIY guitar amp project, I'm starting to learn about this subject. Since I don't know what the hell I'm talking about yet, I don't want to give anyone advice on this subject until I'm better educated. If you are as interested as I am, I suggest you look into it. You may just have something new to teach me, which would be awesome. Let us know here in the comments what you find out. If I think I get to a point where I can provide a competent explanation on this subject, I'll include it in the next Q&A.

At the end of the day, the differences between one amp and another are not all that great. If you can get loud enough, you can probably get a tone you are happy with. I'm happy with this amp so far and think it wouold be a good choice for just about anyone. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@rockoutvideography91 I went with the Boss Katana 210 I like all the effects and ability to play recordings/music through the amp via Bluetooth On the boss. Was a tough choice between the boss, GK and Ampeg

Interesting, I'm playing with my volume at about 75% at practice and gigs, with a 4 piece drum kit in the room. You guys must be really loud. One of the viewers recently commented that he added a 4 x 10 , 8 ohm cab and it sounded great. You should be able to turn your volume all the way up, but a second speaker cab will allow you to get the full 200 watts

@@rockoutvideography91 I guess we are that loud. Just so you know I've emailed ampeg and they told the speaker is a laVoce and the rated power handling is 200 Watts. Which makes no sense to me since I need an extern cabinet to reach that power

Thanks for the info update on the speaker brand. Hopefully people will see your comment. I'm also confused by what Amped told you. Maybe someone who can explain it better will let us know.

That's an excellent point. My little 1/4/5 demo riff in A doesn't use the E string. In other reviews I remembered to play a few low notes, but forgot this time around. Thanks for leaving a comment and reminding me to include more of the strings and fret board in my demos.

Every amp I have is different in power and size. Although my old Fender Rumble 30 doesn't appear to have a port (Just took a quick look) I don't think it's fair to compare that small amp to any of my large amps, they are going to sound very different due to so many factors. I think the only way to test this out would be to close the port and do an A/B test. However, there is still an issue with a test like this. I would assume that every bass amp and cab in a combo amp is designed to work together. Even testing diffetent cabs with a seperate amp head is still a test of different designs. I think ported cabs are designed with the correct dimensions to sound good with ports, and non ported cabs are designed with the correct dimensions to sound good without ports. Keep in mind, these are all assumptions I'm making. I have no evidence to support this theory. It would need to be tested.

I don't think it's broken. I'm not hearing what you are hearing, but I do have old tired ears. I have used it countless times for band practice and gigs since posting the review and no one else has mentioned this. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's greatly appreciated!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Using a teleprompter and writing scripts sure helps. (Also being able to edit out mistakes)
