Achieve a richer and more textured sound than the Ampeg SVT

During a time when P.A. systems were often inadequate, Ampeg’s 300-watt SVT amp head stood out for its ability to deliver powerful low-end in large arenas. While the 100-watt Ampeg V-4B provided less wattage than its bigger brother, it had a unique appeal. The V-4B’s power amp, easier to drive into breakup than the SVT offered a richer, more textured tone. This made it the preferred choice of many renowned bass players familiar with both models.

Featuring a three-band EQ with switchable mids and ultra-low and high switches, it allows you to quickly dial in a vast range of tones, from boomy and beefy to honky and gritty.
