The Ampeg V-4B bass guitar amplifier head is a modern reissue of the legendary, much-loved original model that was first released in 1971.
The Ampeg V-4B features all-valve pre- and power-amps, with the power amp producing 100 watts thanks to its compliment of four 6L6GC valves. The pre amp comes equipped with a pair of 12AX7 tubes and includes a driver section that is fitted with a single 12AX7 and a single 12AU7 valve. The pre amp also features a three-band EQ with Ultra Hi/Lo switches and a three-position rocker switch that selects the mid tone frequency.
To give the Ampeg V-4B a more modern edge, it comes equipped with a -15dB input for use with active instruments, an integrated balanced DI output and multiple speaker outputs.
The main features of the Ampeg V-4B bass guitar valve amplifier head are:
This amplifier arrived with 2 metal pre amp tubes disconnected and one broken power tube. I emailed customer support immediately and it took 3 days to get a reply. I was told I had to return the amp to Germany from the UK for repair , despite me saying that I could get a local Ampeg technician to repair it which would save on postage to Germany and back again to the UK and also avoid the possibility of it getting broken again in transit. I was told that it was not possible to be able to claim back any money towards the repair , despite this being the most economical and safest way and the only option was to send it back for repair. Very unhappy with this customer service , would not use again unfortuanately.
