I'm an Ampeg person myself. For large gigs I use an Ampeg SVT head with

an Ampeg 410 cab. But for the last few years, I've been manly useing an

Ampeg B200R 200 watt combo amp, for most of my gigs, that I had tweaked

out. The amp has a tube pre-amp in it to give you that nice warm tube

sound & an XLR out which is nice also. The only problems that I've ever

had with this amp, was an anoying rattle cause by Ampeg useing cheap

brackets, to hold the cab to the head, the lack of enough baffling in

the cab to help knock off the rest of that rattling noise & too give it

more focus & a much fuller tone. I had these problems fixed right, by my

amp tech for 80.00 bucks. Since I had those problems fixed. This amp

sounds exactly like an old motown B15 & has not given me any trouble at

all. I've had it now for about three or four years & it's become my main

rig these days. Due to it's lite weight & great tone. You can probably

pick one up for about 299.00 to 399.00 on ebay. I hope this helps out

some. If you prefer solid state amps, there a bunch out there new & used

for good prices. Note: I'd stay away from Behrenger though! Just IMO.
