Oh and don't forget that other great great Ampeg gem: the B-25B, originally a bass amp like the SVT, but ... er ... so was the Fender Bassman...

A good friend of mine FOUND a 1969 B-25B in the bulk trash. I repaired it, recapped it, and did a few modest mods, to be more like the V-3 (I kid you not: Dan Armstrong's mods!).

Now it sounds better for guitar than my V-2 OR my V-4! It runs on less voltage, so you can be more liberal in choosing tubes too (which is good: I paid $250 for my last set of NOS 7075's)
