Among the loudest of the loud. The Ampeg V-4 is not for the faint of heart. These amps are known for fabulous clean headroom and booming low end. Used by a slew of artists over the years.

Still using on stage and studio. These are fantastic guitar amplifiers but can also double as a bass amp. I've been using them for... more
