One of the things about the V4(B) is the great tone that they get, in part because of those nice big transforms. When you measure them, these amps put out more than their rated 100W.

Big iron, which affords less distortion in the low end, sounds better.

You have the best review I've seen of the V4B. Found it a couple weeks ago. I'm getting the new reissue soon but have also been thinking about an older original after seeing your review. Thank you.

Thanks man, I really really appreciate that!
