So i have both of these amps and one should go. I want a sound like the guy from ISIS and well it's a tough choice. I play a stingray by the way.
- The v4b from the 70's is an ultimate vintage sounding amp. The roar and overdrive are just AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING. In punches through everything, it's loud, pure, and man it's a beast. But it's hard to stay somewhat clean at higher volumes. And it's a sketchy combination with the stingray. And THAT bothers me quite a lot. It's like it can't handle the 'ray. But with everything on the stingray set flat, it sounds really cool.
This amp was hard to find, and well it looks amazing as well. For the looks alone i'd keep it haha. Last bandpractice it sounded AMAZING with everything flat.
- The v4b from the 90's is a SVT baby actually. Almost sounds the same, looks the same, controls are the same. Just lower volumes. Great mids on this amp, and greeeeeat higher tones. It never ever let me down, ever. Even on tour when it froze - 20 it still worked and rocked. But it doens't have the balls that the other amp has.
One of these has got to go to fund my rickenbacker...
So... comments and advice please. I'd appreciate it.
