All my other amps and cabinets are ampeg. I paired the SWR 400 with one of my ampeg 410 400 watt 4 ohm cabinets and the sound was great. I actually had more definition on my sound from this head. My ampeg heads are very warm sounding but don't have the definition of the SWR in my opinion.
Sound
The sound is excellent - growl, depth, bass, mids, and highs!

The Aural Enhancer and the Bass Intensifier are a plus that makes this 400 watt amp sound like a 700 watt amp!
