Hey, does anyone have the Ampeg GVT15 Head or Combo? I just got the head version a couple days ago for $250 used. It came with Sovtek tubes. I swapped the preamp tubes with JJ long plate tubes. Im thinking about also changing out the power amp tubes for JJ or something else that will warm up the amp a little more. I find this amp to have plenty of highs which I’d like to smooth out a tad. Once interesting is that this amp has quite a bit of headroom even with the gain knob dialed fairly high. The tone controls are different than your typical guitar amp in that it’s a coaxial eq. I had to read up on it. I find the mid control really influences the gain and volume a lot. I plan to take it to a jam tomorrow and see how it sounds with a drummer and at louder volume. I also have the Ampeg Micro VR bass amp I’ve been using as a guitar amp. I find the two amps can produce somewhat similar sounds if dual in the treble eq on the bass amp high. The bass amp obviously doesn’t have tube breakup because it’s 200w solid state.
