Ampeg just posted this big guy on Facebook... Attachment 310509
And asked for guesses as to what it is.
Some sort of v4 maybe?
The 100 watt tube amp they've been promising?

jumbodbassman 01-11-2013 05:03 PM

that would be my guess. too much for the poor man b15

Yep. If it's no master and no reverb I would say V4. The switches, size of the transformer, and two inputs are pretty good hints. I bet bstring could give us a few more reasons as well as some others.

Really hoping it is. It sure looks like it.

B-string 01-11-2013 05:25 PM

Four output tubes hiding under the wood? Classic non-master V4B control and input config. To bad we can't see all the valves used! May have some octals in the preamp ala B15?
My bets are V4B maybe with a bit of hotroding in the preamp. NICE :D

I saw this up close today. If you look very closely you can see tiny little men lurking below the preamp. I doubt if those will be included on the production model.

B-string 01-11-2013 11:39 PM

Then dang it I won't buy one ;)

Not spilling any beans? I have 3/4 bottle of JD here!

It's a boy!

Nice V4B. The cabinet looks like it needs a bit more work.

I was really hoping they'd dump those 3 position rockers like they did on the SVT Hertiage. They get crappy, loud when switching and messed up after a time.

New Ampeg
 
I wonder if the weight will be like the original 70s version ?

B-string 01-12-2013 11:33 AM

Will it use the shock mounted chassis?

Grateful 01-12-2013 11:34 AM

I like the thumbtack logo look. Whatever it is, I hope it comes with that cart. Or a roadie. Or 2.

(and a warranty!) :hiding:

:D

No kidding, David - Ampeg's quality control is really slipping. Somehow I don't think that design will get a UL rating. :p

Waiting ... waiting ... waiting ... NAMM ...

Looking forward to this.

Probably a guitar amp

jeffbonny 01-13-2013 06:58 PM

Ooooh, troll it up!
How many bass amps vs guitar amps does Ampeg sell? It's probably a bass amp.

seamonkey 01-13-2013 07:04 PM

Plenty billy goat






jeffbonny 01-13-2013 07:08 PM

Sure they make 'em but vs bass amps where does the lion's share of the R&D money go? How many new guitar products do they release vs new bass products? How many bass amps vs guitar amps do they sell? The new one could be a guitar amp but odds are it's a bass amp. Do the math.
