gopeteygo Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Woohoo! Brought my Ampeg V4 back from the tech yesterday after a cap job and some NOS tubes. I plugged my 150 in, she was dead quiet......turned her up to 4, struck a barred E chord.....and BOOM..... knocked the clock right off the wall. SCHWEEEET! I fell in love all over again. The tone at volume that she puts out is PURE heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffB Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Ahhh, the old knock the clock off the wall tone test. "How good is the tone in that amp?"...... "Its all right but didnt knock the clock off the wall" Seems youve found that elusive amp that does. Awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slider313 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Those V4's pack plenty of punch !! BIG transformers.I think the head alone is heavier than a Fender Pro Reverb combo !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxdx99 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 smile - now that brings back memories. I used on in the late 70s. Haven't had such a full clean tone since. But yeh - the tone comes at the weight price. Man, those things are HEAVY! The heads alone is pretty much as heavy as the 4x12 bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopeteygo Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 57 lbs of girthy, house shaking tone......and that's just on 4. She would probably kill small animals on 10 if they got too close. I should mention that the 150 that I got from Brent has become my #1 after a couple upgrades, namely tonepros and Seths. Way better than any LP I've ever played. It's a total resonating machine. ;D My wife just told me that every time I get done playing she has to straighten the pictures in the living room. Life is good!

The tone at volume that she puts out is PURE heaven. Is that what that noise was I heard last night? Felt it, too. All the way up in Peculiar! We used to judge our volume and overall feel by whether we knocked the hockey puck off the wall at rehearsal. Puck stayed on - bad rehearsal. :angel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 onwe of the best sounds I've ever gotten was a LP into a cranked V4B w/4x12 marshall cab....no pedals, plenty of volume!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I can hear the UPS guy's hernia pop from here!!!!! I am a big advocate that... "if you want the tone, your back has to groan!".... in either guitars or amps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
