    Great little amp! I've had many amps, including vintage and boutique, and there has always been quite a bit of knob-turning at first to get the sound dialed in. With the PF-20T, I plugged it in, set the controls at noon, played a few lines, and there was the tone! I play jazz\blues with a fretless p-bass. Through this amp, close your eyes and you would swear it was an upright. Warm and woody. Aggressive tones are there too, by cranking the gain and tweaking the tone controls. The case seems bomb proof, and I love the owner-adjustable bias. Good job Ampeg!

    What type of speaker cable is required. I would like to connect this amp head to a 1967 Ampeg Portaflex B-12XT speaker cabinet.
