I doubt many will remember this... BUT:

I bet you all regret not listening to JimmyM and collectively buying out Ampeg

Yep. I do. Unfortunately back then I didn't have a brain or much love for Ampeg either. So much for that LOL!

So I was just rummaging around Youtube looking for Jamerson videos, and ran across the Catalinbread SFT "Motown" demo comparing a B-15 to a Trace 4x10 with an SFT... I dialed in virtually identical settings with mine at church this morning!

Maybe I shouldn't even worry about getting a B-15 reissue... I could buy a less expensive amp and another SFT, plug the SFT in and just leave it on...

lol

5sg.

P.S. Aww, who am I kidding. I still want a B-15... lol

 

[JimmyM]

if you don't have a b-15, an sft or vt is a great way to simulate one. but as much as i love the vt pedal and use it all the time, my b-15 and svt ain't going nowhere.

 

[JimmyM]

Crap. Didn't he die from MS like 15 years ago?

indeed. died broke, too. a real shame. good guy, just partied too hard.

 

[OldHack]

It's BLACK!?!?!?

 

[OldHack]

JimmyM:

Pyotr, I love what I'm seeing so far, especially what looks like heavier duty changes for the better, but please stop using b&w for your amp's headshots. They are great for ads in BP, but they really suck for on the web. Hardly anyone knows how much better looking the grillcloth is on the Heritage SVT stuff because of it. We need our amp porn in color!

Ampeg:

That's a color shot. Black Diamond, baby!
