Ampeg Reverberocket

Hey guys.

just bought an Ampeg Reverberocket 50-H, 50 watt head. I dont think it sounds too bad, any thoughts on it... is it decent? whats the track record?

That's a cool looking head. I love ampegs, especially the blue diamond series. I have a SJ12-R combo and just love it. Get that head with the right speakers and it'll sing.

any thoughts on the right cab?

Would depend on how big you want to go but mine sounded good with a 12" emminence legend and even better with a 12" tone tubby ( single 12 combo). A nice 2-12 cab would go good with that head.

dude its such a pain in the butt to find a 2x12 cab... i dont have the cash to drop $600 on a brand new one, so im looking for a used one and they are hard to come by in decent condition.

i used a pair of mid sixties reverborockets and a reverbojet for a good while- loved them, but they were prone to failure and electrocutions- not theyre fault tho-

Didn't know I was giving an opinion on a budget. Optimally a 2-12 or a 4-10 cab would go great with that head. On a budget I would suggest a single 12 would get you going, if you can build the cab , find a good speaker either on here or ebay. I have an small marshall combo cabinet that I gutted and installed the 12" Eminence Legend in. If your interested I'd take 65.00 for it plus shipping.

Was looking at the same thing, but didn't have the money or the tools to fix or build a new one. I found this guy on ebay, has a great rep and builds some very nice cabinets in color combinations you want (built to order and can do custom).

Seems to be having a sale at the moment. Add some speakers, seems to be a very good budget way.
