Sideways Jaye	Re: Ampeg Model V-4 Having played through a VT-40 (2-7027A's 60 watts) for 20-plus years, I would hazard a guess that Skunk had to be using a pedal to get the "My Old School" sound, never heard a V series get that sizzly without help. Even the Stones crunch sounds more like the CTS speakers complaining. As for the servicing, they take some ingenuity for sure, for example, the quasi-parametric midrange control is no longer available.
