D.L.	Re: Help, Ampeg V-4 weirdness (a wee bit long) I have a V-4 on my bench in for outpt tube replacement, mains switch replcmnt, full cap job- somebody had V-4B-ized it... I had a badly oscillating VG-22 in here a while back, it would seem fixed and then when bolted back in to the cabinet it would do it again on one channel I dont like the flimsy ampeg construction.. My EKO AC-30ish amp needed a 4700 picofarad cap across the 1st gain stage plate load resistor to keep it from freaking out maybe yer V-4 needs something like that...
