  Ampeg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ampeg first existed under the name "Michaels-Hull Electronic Labs", as it comprised a partnership between Everett Hull, an accomplished pianist and bassist, and Stanley Michaels.
Ampeg also manufactured (or had manufactured for them) lines of quirky but distinctive instruments to complement their amplifiers.
Ampeg also produced effects pedals, including stand-alone reverb units in the 60s, the Scrambler from 1969 (a resurgence in interest resulted in an updated Scrambler being reissued in 2005), the Phazzer from the mid- to late-70s, and a line of nine stompboxes produced in Japan in the mid-80s.

 Jesse Vest Uses Ampeg
Ampeg develops the monster amp rig that sets the tone, punch and arena-rattling standard for all future big gun bass amps: the 300 watt SVT or "Super Vacuum Tube" amp, with a pair of 8 x 10" cabinets.
In mid-1966, Ampeg introduces electric basses-which fondly recalls the upright-with scroll-shaped headstocks, f-holes cut all the way through the body and the "Mystery Pickup," which can be used with gut strings.
The first Ampeg Bassamp is the 18 watt 1 x 12" Super 800 model with a rear ventilation port that led to later experiments with sound porting-but then Ampeg breaks new ground in 1951, using a larger speaker, with its 20 watt 1 x 15" Model 815.

In 1960, a design engineer by the name of Jess Oliver created a combo amplifier with a chasis that could be inverted and tucked inside the speaker enclosure, protecting the inner workings and increasing the portability of the the amp.
Also in the early 60's, Ampeg was the first company to incorporate reverb in an amplifier.
The current series of Ampeg Classic models, Pro Series products, "B" Series heads and combos as well as the updated re-issue Diamond Blue Series are among the latest in the evolution of the professional, innovative and feature laden amplifiers available.

Ampeg tipped its hand about the mysterious transducer when it printed the patent number of its 1963 Baby Bass pickup on an early set of “operational instructions”: the pickup for the new Ampeg bass was a modified version of the older one.
Ampeg’s sales had grown roughly tenfold in a handful of years, culminating in the nine month period ending in February, 1966, with net sales of over $2,290,000.
Ampeg made a last stab at a bass with the mystery pickup in 1967 and early 1968, the scarce and odd-looking Model ASB-1, nicknamed the “Devil Bass” because of its prominent, scary horns.

The actual details seem to have slipped into the wind, but this much is fact: Somebody at Ampeg had a very progressive concept of signal processing, and the techno-chops to design, and build their ideas.
Ampeg must have taken it hard...look at the neat steel box the pedal is made of, they didn't gear up like that to sell junk.

I went to the local musicstore a while ago and I found an Ampeg B2R with 4x10 speaker and A Hartke 3500 also with a 4x10 speaker.
My question is: is the ampeg worth the price or should I go for the cheaper Hartke gear.
i've always like the sound of ampeg tubes over hartke, since i like a rounder, warmer sort of sounds rather than the kind of crunchiness that i've found hartkes tend to give me. but hey, ampeg can give you crunch too, just listen to any chris squire recording out there.
