70's Ampeg V4

[B-string]

My 69 SVT has a PCB and it's still going strong.

You got her fixed? Is the hum all gone now?

Hum's all gone. Don't know if you saw the outcome, but the bass knob on the 2nd channel apparently caused it. Its pot stem came off in my hand when I moved it while ABing SVT rigs, and since then it's been dead quiet. Still have to replace the pot, but not a big deal. At least it works.

I'll preface this by saying that I've never used any variation of a v4 before: I believe these amps are 100W, if you're playing in a very loud rock or metal band, you may find yourself lacking in clean headroom. Take this post with a grain of salt, i play downtuned doom metal at volumes most of TB would consider ridiculous, so 100 gloriously overdriven tube watts might be perfect for you..

The band I played with when I had the V4 had a guitarist that used a full stack Marshall JCM and it had no problems keeping up. We played on the club circuit, outrageous house systems, never ran it through the monitors. Just mic-ed to the house, everyone on stage heard me loud and clear. I was using Harke 4.5 XLs, a bit bright for that head, but it was crazy loud.

Interesting! I'm going to explore that tomorrow.

Mine keeps up very well with an 8x10 in my band. Guitarist also uses a full stack with either a peavey vtm or Mesa triple rec.

I don't have much clean headroom at the volume we play at but that's not a priority for me haha.

Looking to get 2 2x15s to run it through soon!
