Members cantoXIII Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 i recently plugged my guitar directly into my early 70's v4 running through 4 4x12 cabs, and turned the volume to 10...it was awesome. i use to hate how much it would overdrive because i bought it purely for cleans. now though, with the help of a vintage mxr 6 band eq, i love pushing it into grinding tube saturation. one of my new favorite tones.

Members cantoXIII Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 How many Watts is it? allegedly 100 watts out of 4 7027's. we all know how accurate that {censored} is though. it's really not as loud as one would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Anyone else have a problem where the fx loop on their Reverberocket is extremely quiet? I find I get a volume drop if I am using the loop for some reason. Edit: I should clarify. The signal going out from the send jack seems to be extremely low. For example, I can't even get it to clip my DMM with the DMM level at full. However, the overall volume if I plug back in isn't extremely different. There is a pretty noticeable extra hum when I use the loop as well and, oddly, if I have a dummy cable plugged into the Line In jack while I'm plugged into the dirty channel I get a weird scratchy tone.

Members V Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Ok, problem guys. I was just playing with my guitar plugged directly into the Line In on the effects loop of my Reverberocket (which sounds really good by the way). I then kicked on a fairly mild boost pedal and the sound became crackly for a second, then my power on lamp turned off and the amp went silent. So...I am hoping I blew either a fuse or a power tube... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArrMatey Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 That is seriously the nicest V4 I've ever seen. I'm so jealous. Does anybody around here know how to re-tolex an amp?I really want to re-do my VT-40. All you need for your ampeg needs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AL30 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 pew pew That's an Ampeg Heavy Stud correct? There was also a Super Stud, Heavy Stud and a Big Stud I think. Best guitar names ever.I think the Stud and Super Stud were SG like, the Heavy Stud was a Tele and the Big Stud was the bass. There may have been a Little Stud bass too. It's confusing.AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AnderMocs Posted January 31, 2009 Members Share Posted January 31, 2009 Kaki uses one some of the time. When i saw her their was one on stage, i asked her about it after her set. It's a Jet, she was using one of these though, http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/GenzBenz-Black-Pearl-2X12-Combo-Amp-?sku=480311 I think she said it was her guitar players.

Members V Posted March 9, 2009 Members Share Posted March 9, 2009 I recently got my Reverberocket Reissue back from the shop. I had shorted a capacitor in the power section with some bad power tubes, so while i was at it i had it modded to have an external speaker jack. That thing sounds really sick through my Avatar 2x12 cab, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
