For all of the hype that this amp had ('bone crushing tone', etc) this thing fell way short. (And yes, I have several Crate amps that I really do like a lot). The Crate Stealth has a much superior tone and can be had cheaper too. Mvd18969, Aug 7, 2010. Mvd18969, Aug 7, 2010 #8. Aug 7, 2010 #9. SteveO Member.

The post 88 serial numbers coincide with the Ampeg system, but the pre 88 system is a little less organized.” Source: Scott Noel Patterson, LOUD Technologies, email 27/3/2008.

Ampeg has been a huge part of amplifier history, with amplifiers dating back to the mid 1940s that have been used by bands such as The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Television, Booker T and the MG's, The Clash and others. Ampeg amplifiers have evolved over the decades. Being able to place specific products in their time period is a great way to assess value and impress fellow gearheads.
