Ampeg question

[MarchingPig]

Is there such a thing as an Ampeg V4-B 2x15 cabinet...? I saw one used on the net, or the seller said it was a V4-B, but I can´t find anything about such a cab.

I don't think there was a V4-B 2x15 cab, The reissue SVT head was labled V4-B but i don't think they made a matching cab...

Looks like the svt 2x15e, unless it's an older svt model but I'm pretty sure there was no v4-B cab, someone may come along and prove me wrong.

There WAS a V4B cab. It had 2 15's in a folded configuration. I've seen one and it was bigger than me!!! Apparently, they were sounded good only at a distance away from the cabinet. 4 ohms. 1970's and also the reissue when the V4B came back, I believe.

I´m fairly certain this cab is from the nineties, maybe this part of the milennium.

So it only sounds good at a distance eh..? What´s the problem in that? No, I get it.. But would you say it´s a good cab? And how long ago were the reissues made?

Well I had a good feelign I was wrong.

I think there is an ex ameg rep. on this forum, he'd know for sure.

Yup, they exist. I know because I owned one about five years ago.

The speakers supposedly pointed backwards towards angled walls inside the cab that supposedly directed the sound out from the front. My ears weren't very developed at that point but from what I vaguely remember it sounded muddy. I happily sold it to someone for half of what I paid for it new. It was heavy as heck.

Not sure if I can remember much else about the cab, but shoot me a pm if you want to me to try.
