Ampeg bass amp head with pure tube tone
Looking for a bass amp head with the rich overdrive of hard-working tubes, without the size of a much heavier 300-watt head? The Ampeg V-4B delivers 100 watts and uses an all-tube design, with a distinctive grind and tonal texture that gives it its own place within the well-known Ampeg line.
For bass players who like the direct character of a tube amp, the V-4B is a strong choice. You notice that most when you push the full output and want the rich, driven tube response this Ampeg is built around.
Vintage styling and flexible use
The Ampeg V-4B has vintage '70s styling and combines that classic look with practical 2, 4 or 8 ohm options. That makes it easier to match this bass amp head to different speaker cabinet setups.
The flexible 3-way midrange switch lets you shape the mids with more focus. That makes this tube bass amp appealing for players who want to dial in more presence, bite or a different mid voicing for rehearsal or stage use.
Less mass than an SVT, still a real tube head
At 18.6 kg / 41 lb, the Ampeg V-4B is clearly more manageable than a much heavier full-size tube head. You still get the character of a full tube amp head in a format that is easier to carry.
