Re: Ampeg v4

If I recall, though the haze of many moons-ago, I believe the circuits are the same, minus the reverb of the V4B. And that the V4 is biased slightly hotter, than the V4B (-52 volts versus -64 volts) on those 7027A.
This amp has a wild midrange circuit that gives the thing quite a unique tone.
Speaker types make a big difference in the final tone you are after. The loudest 100 watt head unit, I've ever heard.
