Peavey VB-2 - what cabs u usein'?

scowboy · #1 07-28-2010, 02:01 PM

So I am pretty sure I am buying a Peavey VB-2 to scratch my tube head itch.

My current rig is all TC Electronic including the cabs. The VB-2 will not fit to well on an up-ended RS210 (14" cab width and 24" head width) so I am thinking of looking for another 210, 410 or 212 to use with the VB-2.

Anybody using any of the Avatar cabs??

How about the Peavey 410?

I'm running mine with an Ampeg B410HE 4X10 it barely fits on the top of the cabinet but I'm so happy with my tone I don't care. I should clarify that it fits fine but it does hang off an 1/8 of an inch on both sides.

If it's vintage tube you want, you have to go with the vintage design... Ampeg 8x10... no ports, no tweeters, no problem!!!

Mesa powerhouse 4x12 and 8x10. Smokin' amazing rig.
VB-2 best-amp-ever.

Berg NV610 is my current fave. Also sits nicely and sounds awesome on top of my 2 GK Neo 212 cabs. Vb2 rocks!

so i trying out my new vb2 head sounded great on my 410tvx so i decided to hook it up to my 810tx cab thats like 17 years old well guess its time to pick up the new vb810 cab but im lovin this new head my drummer would not stop talking about it. used some of the setups out of the manual they were spot on. sorry for the rant just so happy with the vb2

I'm using my VB2 with an Ampeg V4 4x12 right now. It sounds so big and tubey! I run that clean gain up to 7 and it's hitting the sweet spot for my ears. Great amplifier for a fair price.

Just wanted to chime in as a recent purchaser of a used VB-2: I'm going to run it through my Bergantino NV215 first, then I'll try it through the NV610.

I had to get one after hearing another band's bassist play his tube amp through my 610; made me realize I wasn't getting the REAL TONE of the amp with my SS pre/power setup.
