2013 Ampeg V-4B 100W Reissue Pt2

#521
A 240V wiring is a possibility. The amp can be wired for 100VAC, 120VAC, 200VAC, and 240VAC. If that were the case, a tech at Sweetwater might be able to configure it properly and decrease the turnaround time.

A quick thing that you can check is the back panel fuse. With a 120VAC amp, it should have a T4AH250V fuse; for 240VAC, it should have a T2AH250V fuse.
T is a slow-blo, 4A = 4 amp, H = high breaking capacity, 250V. Having the correct fuse for 120VAC doesn't mean that it is wired properly inside. Someone would have to look. I assume that you were given the proper line cord for 120VAC. But if there is a T2AH fuse in there, something is up.

On a lighter note: I went and made a new grill for mine. My studio is completely segregated into three groups now: Navy Random Flair, Blue Check and Heritage.

Here is a photo of my V4B hiding with its new mates:

I don't want to replace the grill cloth on my V4B since it goes with my little 210av's, but I darn sure do want a grill with Heritage cloth on it!

My V4B's original grill is still intact (w/Lee Rocker's sig.). I cut a new piece of plywood for the Heritage one.

I no longer own any cabs with the '70's style grill cloth - so the choice was easy for me. But the original can be put back on as fast as changing your shoes.

Next I am going to do my B115e cab. Then I will have matching sets for small, medium and large power requirements.

It is a GVT112EW.

It was part of Ampeg's latest guitar amp line (ca. 2012/13). It actually has a 16 ohm Celestion speaker in it - so I will need to put a different speaker in there to use it with the V4B.

I think the 212AV would be perfect with wheels I wish I could add some and that tele is beautiful looks like one I use to have I'm thinking about getting another guitar rig I like that GVT5H with your cab I think that would be a nice setup.I wish Ampeg would give you the grill color choice when you ordered instead of having to buy the black grill separately.

I also play some guitar. I've got a 98 MIM 60's series Strat. I run it through one of the Epiphone Valve Junior heads and matching 12 cab that's loaded with an Eminence Lady Luck. If you're looking for a small five watt all tube guitar head don't overlook the Valve junior. You can find those used for great deals and there's tons of mods you can do on them. A really cool little head.

Interesting side note...the Valve Jr was designed by Pyotr Belov, former head of MI at LOUD, and former head of Ampeg.

Cheeze, glad to hear my boys and girls are taking care of you. Yeah, it does take a week, but 6 years from now, you'll forget about the wait ;)
