Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Again, good tube tone and easy to dial in.
Sound
A nice, deep, round, and full tube sound. I use a 4 ohm 4-10 hlf, an 8 ohm 2-10 ampeg cabinet and an Eden 1-15 8 ohm cab.The v4 sounds great using any of my cabinets. I play passive basses throught it, and they all sound great. Crank up ther gain and master if you like that tube disstortion sound. I have a friend that has an Ashdown MAG 500 head, and he loves the tone from the v-4b. I think he's looking to get one too.
Features
Just what you need. Not a lot of knobs an buttons to press. Easy to set up.
Ease of Use
Easy tube tone to dial in.
Quality
No more point to point wiring, but other than that it's a solid piece of equitment. I have a early 70's v4, and that thing is heavy. The classic series are not as heavy (smaller transformers I guess), and they don't break up quite as fast too.
Value
If you want good tube sound, with out breaking your back moving it around, this is a good choice.
Manufacturer Support
I broke a knob off it moving it around. They answered the phone, and mailed me some replacements quickly. So, I guess they're OK with me.
The Wow Factor
It's the classic ampeg look, only black. Not bad, but I do like the vintage look better.
