Wow! Nothing on Ampeg's site yet or their FB. Very interesting. Would love to see some specs on both the V4B and the 212.
Whactha got for us, Hodgy?

Wow. Not sure about the cab. But now I'm considering getting rid of my blueline... What a predicament!

I love the single channel gain/master setup as opposed to the 70's dual channel vol/vol setup. More overdrive at lower volumes.
Awesome.
Somebody get one of these and the 212 cab and do a review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't ship until end of September.
Very nice indeed. The trick will be if this one has the balls of the original.
The '90s reissue weighed around 45 lbs., IIRC, and most reviews I read said it seemed anemic compared to the original. I'm hopeful this one makes the grade.
I owned one of those, and nope, I didn't like it compared to old ones. Let's hope they fixed that. I wanted to like the 90's one, but sold it. I tried it on everything from a single 15 to a 610 cab. Couldn't find that sweet sweet sound of the older ones.
Here's the specs. We don't have a pic with the grille off. They come with the AV style grille, but a classic black grille is available through us so you can pair them with classic and pro heads.
