Ampeg SVT-210AV

Ampeg is not something that nedds talking about.
this little SVT sounds good, wheights really really nothing, it has a top handle and you can easily lift it with one hand.

pros: good sound, eminence speakers, very very light, low wattage so you can use it also with guitar amps, handle and nice construction. the grill is velcroed so you can take it off for recording

cons: the grill rattle a little, for live usage it could be ok but not for recording. luckyly it is easily detachable because it is dual-lock attached on the front, so just take it away if you can. low wattage, it can easily be used with any guitar amp, but surely you have to be careful with a 700w bass head or similar.

i was looking for an easy to drive cab for bass recording without huge volume and a need of a bass amp and there it is.

I bought one of these to match my Ampeg micro VR head, with turned out to be a great rig for smaller situations. The tone of this cab is really great, and very close to the big brother, Ampeg 810 "fridge" cabinet. It does not have huge low end, although that isn´t what I expected from a sealed 210 cabinet. It does, however, have very nice low mids and makes for a great cab for recording, bar gigs, practicing, or quenching your thirst for vintage ampeg sound, especially with the matching head.
I eventually got another one, and stacking them vertically made them into a great 410 without too much hassle to move around. I sold them to fund another ported cab, since I found the lack of deep low end didn´t suit my needs at the time. I miss these cabs now.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants a lightweight cab with a classic ampeg sound.
I would not recommend it to anyone who plans on using it on bigger shows without PA-support.
