Bass Review: Ampeg Portaflex PF-500 Head Bass Amp

This 500 W Class D/MOSFET amp head brings vintage Ampeg tone to a portable form factor. At just ~6.8 kg, it features a flip-top lid, integrated effects loop, compression, Ultra Hi/Lo boosts, and a 5-position midrange selector. Reviewers praise its tonal flexibility and Ampeg character, even in a compact format. The updated PF-800 improved reliability further.
