Ampeg V4 Guitar Amp Head
$2,000
Description
This is a very unique, and sought after guitar amp head. It's early 70's craziness, when Ampeg was really off the rails. It weighs a ton, was my main touring and recording amp for years. Re-tubed, and properly grounded with a 3 prong. Many gigs, many recording sessions, this loud amp always brought it. Clean tones, distortion, the most amazing in amp reverb. She's a little beat up, but fully functional, ready to rock your socks off. Lamps still work. Missing the reverb knob. A favourite of Sticky Fingers era Keith and Josh Homme. She's a beautiful beast.
"Having found a foothold in the world of rock and roll, Ampeg followed up the SVT with a new range of sparkling silver guitar heads in 1970. The V4 (120w) and its little brother the V2 (60w) featured Ampeg’s renowned hall-like spring reverb and perhaps the greatest tone stack ever designed. The amp’s active Baxandall EQ made it incredibly versatile, as did the three way EQ switches above its middle and treble controls. From bright, Fender-esque cleans to fat, saturated Marshall tones, the V4 could do it all, perhaps even better than both.
The V4 was made famous by Keith Richards, who used the amp on Stones records such as Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. Richards favoured the amp for its prominent midrange crunch, high headroom and versatility, and if you’ve ever heard one live, you’ll understand why. The words rock and roll don’t even begin to cover it. "
