The bring back the VH140c/Ampeg SS appreciation thread!!!!

[CD1221]

...why not build one?

Looking for a Ampeg VH-140C schematics

 

[highlordmugfug]

I'm in contact with a Technical Support Rep. I'll see what he says is possible and let everybody know

Put in a word for the ultra high wattage version.

...

Correct me if I`m wrong but was not a big part of the VH140C magic that clean channel with the chorus? The ultimate metal clean.

Its distortion made it famous. Suffocation and Dying Fetus most notably.

Loving the idea of the 1U rack preamp. Would love to hear one paired with a KT88 power section or something similar

 

[great_kthulu]

would love to see these back in action, death metal tone machines!!!

 

[highlordmugfug]

Monsieur Hawk, what's the word?

 

[great_kthulu]

I would be interested in a combo, absolutely

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

im guessing this is us just dreaming?
any news at all?

 

[Chickenhawk]

No news, guys. I'll email the guy and ask for an update, and push attention towards the rackmount and high wattage versions.

So, the most interest is in a 1u rackmount, and a VH150 reissue, but with 300+ watts?

My email won't load, but I'll get the email sent tonight.

There's an email address in this thread, everybody should send their interests.

1u rackmount VH-series preamp.
VH-series 300+watt head.

I'd buy the shit out of a reissued VH140 or an SS 140, that old Ampeg stuff produced the most disgusting tones.

Either or both of those would be killer!

Maybe the 300 watter could be called the VH150-II or something

If they make a 1u preamp, they should add in a mini SS poweramp like the Engl e530's 1.5w. That way you can use it for practice / small jams and then have the preamp for recording direct or power amp of your choice for live!

/goes to e-mail Ampeg!

Edit: emailed

"I've been wanting to ask this for a while...but knew it would make for a long comment list. But, it's Friday so here it is:

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE AMPEG BUILD?"

Tell them what you think!!!

 

[7StringSloan]

^Haha you can tell all the people who post on here. And I already have the cash on standby for a 1u vh preamp. And now I shall wait

 

[Wookieslayer]

hope they're listening!

 

[christpuncher66]

i don't think 300 watts is necessary. the amp is the loudest, most beastly solid state head ive ever heard. it's actually a little louder than my rockerverb 100, for reference.

 

[myampslouder]

Any updates

 

[incinerated_guitar]

BUMP! I wanna know more on this! Not a priority amp for me (that would be an engl) but after I get my main amp id definetely get one for shits and gigs!

 

[Carcaridon]

Something tells me this will never happen, but I'd buy in a second if they did.
