I was blown away by the power and tone of the V4B head. I paired it with the Ampeg SVT-212AV and I was amazed by the sound. I had wondered if it would be loud enough in a rock band setting and it is. It is my first all tube amp and I don’t think I’ll ever choose another.

Played SVT’s for years, until I finally decided the weight was enough. So for the past 10 years it’s been lightweight class d amps to save my back. Got to play one of these in a medium 450 seat club through a 6x10. Boom?? I was blown away. Got home after the tour and ordered one of these and cannot say how impressed I am by the sure volume you get out of 100 watts, and of course the classic AMPEG tone. Thanks Ampeg and American Music for making the transaction a breeze.

Product Review
Back in the day I played through a 90's Ampeg SVT-2 with an 8x10 cab and have always loved that Ampeg tone. A year ago I got back into music and purchased the V4B and the matching SVT 2x12 cab. I love both the tone and portability. While the V4B is obviously not the same, it's every bit as versatile and sounds great at low volumes while keeping the hum almost non-existant. Whether playing through a RIC 4003 or a P-bass, I can get booming lows, mid range grind grind, and/or clear cutting highs. The build quality is great and the price reasonable. My only complaint is at $1200, I wish it would have shipped with an amp cover. I was able to buy one separately...but it would have been nice not to.

This is a wonderful "smaller" Ampeg tube amp. Still heavy (66 lbs), and it brings the heat. Have used it for one gig already, and people have already commented about how great it sounds. Also, the vintage look really stands out.

Cuts through nicely. Never abrasive. The entire bass fret board is held remarkably even. Sweet highs, funky mids, growly bottom....Very musical. Used this amp with TC electronic 2x12 and GK 15. Went through 4 bands in 6 hr. event. All were very impressed with the tone and playability. And "No, you cannot borrow it....Sweet amp.

I have always wanted a tube amp and now I have that AWESOME TONE that I have chased for 30 years! I was concerned that 100 watts wasn't enough power but tubes are more like 300 solid state watts! I can get the awesome SVT tone in small venues without blowing the windows out. Being able to finance for a few months is great too!
