Hi there, up for sale is a SUPER rare Ampeg V9 Amplifier head from the late 70's.  I know most musicians have heard of Ampeg and they know that they are THE company for bass amplification.  Once upon a time they ALSO made guitar amps, and boy did they make them, very VERY well.  The Ampeg V9 was designed as a guitar, bass, and keyboard all in one amplifier.  Its 300 watts of monstrous tube tone AND it has onboard spring reverb.

The amp function perfectly and was just serviced and recapped.  There is some ware on the tolex but overall the amp looks really great and is for sure a head turner.

The amp has that classic tube growl that Ampeg is associated with and its just perfect.  I have read that the V9 is the power section of the SVT with the preamp section of the V4.  I don't know if that is 100% true, but I own both a 70's SVT and 70's V4 and that is pretty spot on.  The EQ section is really nice and lets you dial in any frequency so your bass or guitar so it sets well in the mix. Oh yes, one of my favorite things about this amp is IT HAS FANTASTIC SPRING REVERB!  Every ampeg I've ever played has had killer reverb and this one is no exception.  Never ever have I once heard of onboard spring reverb from a 300W tube amp and it is simply glorious. 

This is a super cool amp and I highly recommend it for guitar or bass.  It would be great for live use or in the studio.  I know its new owner will be very happy.  feel free to email me with any questions that you may have.
