Thanks, I think you’re right. I have found it’s easier to use effects to add bite and more aggression to an amps signature as opposed to using effects to tame an amp signature bite and an aggressive mid bump. With a distortion pedal into the V4b and some tweaking of the eq, one could get close...

I found a very good price on a CTM 15 - current edition (mk2 ?). I was curious if the ctm15 could be the sole studio amp for recording and rehearsals in my space and allow me to sell the V4B, which sounds amazing but gets little use. Disclaimer: I am not trying to see if it is “better” than...

Were the guitars your tried going into the interface as DI? If mics and other guitars are working via the interface DI, I would suspect the issue is related to the bass Hope you figure it out soon. Recording can be very frustrating

I haven’t played one of the vintage vibe basses, but I’ve messed around on two of the guitars and they are really nice to play. One was a tele made in China and the other a mustang that was a more recent one made in Indonesia. I was damn surprised. I think with a pickup swap they are hard to...

V4B reissue on top of a sideways 210av look alright I think.

Re20 is king of bass cab mics. There are other mics for different flavors, but I don’t think anything beats an re20

I wanted to provide an update for anyone considering the V4B reissue. The short: V4B reissue paired with the 210av is THE best studio rig I’ve heard. (Not much experience though so YMMV). I will probably keep it despite the higher price. The longer: I returned the Fender 1x15 neo bassman. The...

V4B on en route to pair with a fender Bassman 15. 🤞 I’m still a little worried 100 watts is too much for my space.

Pf20t question for you owners Will two cabs make it loud enough for rock n roll rehearsals? By that I mean drums

Thanks for the quick response!

I am interested in using an Ampeg V4B reissue (100 watts tube) with the Two Notes Captor X Reactive Load box and had a few questions. 1. Could you confirm a 100 watt head will not destroy the Captor X when it’s the head is cranked? 2. I can use the captor X without a cab, correct? I think I...

Yeah, new one

Thanks! I’ve looked at the measurements and it appears the v4B should fit perfectly on top of the 210av when lying on its side. Is that correct? Do you have any pics of this setup by any chance? As great as the V4b would look on top of a 212av it would be way too loud for my studio I’ve got...

Would just one 210av be good for rehearsals and studio use only? I see the 210av is rated 200 watts and I would think it could handle the V4b especially if both master & gain are not dimed I’m asking because Ampeg confirmed the svt 112av is discontinued and I truly believe the 212av would be...

Question for you - safe to assume the same is NOT true for guitars going through bass amps? Or, does a guitar going through a tube bass amp lower power tube life also? Asking because I could be using the V4B for guitar sometimes Thanks!
