Ampeg VH-70

[slideman82]

Any info about this amp? A friend of mine's got one of these, made in USA, and it hasn't any Celestion speaker but an Ampeg Special Designed one (or something like that) that sounds quite like a Celestion, but I think it's not the original one because it's supposed to be Celestion equiiped (there's a plastic label that afirms that). It seems it's a newer version of the SS-70, but I think it has the same circuitry (I've seen a guts pic and looks the same)

KILLER amp.
Keep it.
Maybe the Celstion died and they replaced it with a Factory-approved speaker. Fine with me.
It must be a high end Eminence with an Ampeg label, by the way.

Mmmm I don't think so, it's more like a bass speaker, has a lot of punch and compression, but not enough volume... plugged it to my 1x12 Eminence V128 cabinet and a wall of rock appeared! Too much treble and volume difference.

Ugh! Then probably you are right, some shop owner who wanted to see it had that speaker lying around an thought "hey !! A Ampge speaker is an Ampeg speaker!!"
Clearly it's not Factory fitted.
