Review - Please try to include as many specific details as you can:

Feature:
Good features, especially the on the back which allow jacking into house systems & recording equipment. The "Frequency" switch seems to make little difference in sound quality. But, I'm still experimenting with various sound settings.

Quality:
After about 50 hours of use, I had to get a tube replaced. But, it may have been due to bumbing, as well as the one bad tube from the factory that day. Since then (about 150 hours & several months), I've had no problems.

Value:
When I first got my Ampeg, I thought "This sounds great!". Everytime I play it,I hear from more & more converts saying the same. And the price has gone up on it since I bought it about a year ago.

Desirability:
My SVT-3 Pro head, along with my BXT-410HL-4 cabinet, give me a great, unbeatable sound.

Sound:
After one year I get a very clean sound with almost limitless sound quality options. Although with all of its options, you can get hiss by turning up the high frequencies too much. Best if you balance out the EQ with the guitar tones and cabinet adjustments.

Support:
I have not dealt with Ampeg directly, only the local retailer that sold me the equipment. And after some initial "who has the amp?" mixups, they were pretty good.

Overall:
This is a killer/ keeper system. I'm very satisfied with it.
