Only one, but...

Wow. Looks like I need some carrot greens. If I can't find them, it's tight between the V4B and CL. For those who have it, is the V4B paired with an SVT212AV as loud (for nearly so) as a PF-800 and PF-115HE?

My local dealer is giving me a good enough deal that I'm getting an SVT-CL and a pair of 212AVs. Thanks to all for your input.

That fact that you have more carrots than anything should be an indication that you may want to look at something other than Ampeg.

One amp for "everything" makes it challenging, I doubt if I had such a thing it would necessarily be anything all tube (or necessarily Ampeg but I do really like them), but for me "everything" means primarily A LOT of live gigging and jamming which means I'm always toting my amps around and leaving them my vehicles in all seasons and temps, basically not the lifestyle I would wish on any high dollar tube rig.

With that said I voted V4B.

Paired with a reasonable cab (2 12") or even a couple of single 15s it would cover a lot of ground and be as "big" or as "small" as I would need it.

Although I ALMOST voted B15.

I really like combos and it is practically one. However if so I would specify the B15R, even though many don't revere it as much as the true vintage ones (which is good for pricing purposes), it is a healthy 100 watts, has a DI, is capable of running an extension cab, and was one of the last B15's Jess Oliver personally had a hand in.

Edit: Ooops, I see you've already struck a deal, but anyway, enjoy your SVT and 212s. Oh, please post pics and let us know what you think of the cabs.

How so? The way I read the poll, 24% agree on SVT-CL, while 28% don't seem to agree on anything.
