2013 Ampeg V-4B 100W Reissue Pt2
- Thread starter Chef
- Start date
I played an SVT-VR on Thursday during a live and I prefer my V4B reissue 2013, that's the tone I like.
Looks like a pretty good deal on a used one at GC:

Used my V4B and NV215 last night with the 2014 Gibson EB4, Man! What a growl!
Forgot to take pics, this is an old one, but had the master dimed, gain up around 12 o'clock.... beautiful angry tube growl.
Fun times!
I rocked two v4b’s last night, honestly one of the best tones I’ve ever had. Splitting the pickups on the Ricky and running different Eq’s I was able to get a nice dirty tone with awesome clean bottom. The v4b never ceases to amaze me!
That pic is drool-worthy! I'd better stop looking at that before I.T. here at the Day Job gets suspicious!
So are you using a "break out" box from the Ric-O-Sound (bridge to one amp, neck to the other amp) out, or just splitting the signal to the two amps?
I’m actually using a “small” stereo Y splitter to two monos sends. The neck pickup is going straight to the a v4b/ 610 cab (SLM era cab) with clean bass heavy (ultra low)eq. The bridge pickup is going to my pedal board...tuner, synth9 and scr-di where I’m adding dirt from the scrambler section. It’s then sent to the other v4b/ 610 cab (loud era cab) with some lows but mainly mid heavy and some highs with dirt. The one issue I had was wile tuning the neck pickup was not able to be muted...will fix this next time.
I have run it mono into my pedal board and used my synth 9 unaffected thru to split my signal but can’t take advantage of ric o sound. I’ll most likely get a longer “stereo” Y to two monos for the future and figure out my tunner.
My band mates said it was the sickest bass tone they have ever heard and want this setup at every gig! Will see!
Such a sad day, I have to put my V4B up for sale :,( I made a little picture in memorial of this little beast </3
Anyone want a brand new cover for their V4B and 212AV. I have one I purchased from Custom Amp covers and it was not used. The pic is only the head cover, but it comes with the matching cover for the 212AV cab.
