Title: Ampeg B25B with original 2x15 cab
Post by: godofthunder on March 21, 2012, 06:17:28 AM
 About five years ago I bought a Ampeg B25B to use at rehearsal. Man I love this little amp great big ballsy sound at reasonable levels. A year or so after I bought the head I found the matching cab for cheap, the drivers were supposed to be shot so I tossed the cab into the carriage house and figured I'd get to it at some point. Well I tested the cab this week and it's fine,  :o the drivers sound great! I took it to rehearsal and man it just sounds fantastic with the B25B. I am really digging the set up!

old ampegs are great.  had 2 of those cabs under a V4B  back in the early 70's  before "upgrading" to  the v4b horned cab and squareback SVT

Scott, you might want to send that rig off to Chicago JUST so I can make sure everything's OK.  :mrgreen: Sounds like a cool rig. I've been thinking of going all 15s. But then, I'm always thinking SOMETHING, and it usually costs money...

  Tom, When I run multiple cabs I use 12s and 15s. If I can only bring one cab. I always go with 15s

 I love the sound of this thing! Vol. bass and treble! I like it way better than a SVT!
