What did the last of the Classic Series heads look like? Was it the blue/red? Or were there others?

I believe the blue/red is from the 90s. I have a mid 90s SVT 2 Pro and a mid 90s V4B with the red/blue logo. I have a V4BH from around 2006 that has the white logo. SVT looked the same.

Red/blue was in the mid-90s. Ampeg production went on in America until mid-2006, at least it did for SVTs. I had a 2005 (maybe 6) and it looked like a modern SVT.
The last of the USA SVT-CL's and VR's looked the same as the current ones. However - the tolex texture changed slightly, as did the thickness o the plywood used. Best way to tell if one is made in USA is to look at the country of manufacture listed on the back.
