Look on ebay they have V4-B's and V4's all the time for 300-400 bucks and they're great sounding amps and much louder than their power rating of one hundred watts. These are all V4's:

and if ya don't need a hundred, there's the B25 @ 55 watts using 2x7591s...

I got 2 of 'em, but rather have the V4-BH as it uses the SVT preamp section.

My back doesn't like either but then again, I don't play out!

Or Gl6's, EL34's KT88's 6BG6, the little B-25 is a most versatile amp when it comes to power tubes. The pre-amp section is similar to the B-15's.

I think it's the same amp as a B-15S, not positive though.
You run them stereo Jarad?

naw, just that I got lucky on one of 'em for $130.

broken shaft on 2 pots. then I added a drop resistor to the bias circuit.

didn't know the tranny could handle 6550s tho, will look at the specs. that would give it a lovely bottom!

I think I like the sound of the b210sp better than the Eden. I don't care for the effects but, I don;t have to use em! They are both SS.

My worry is tubes. I think my preamp went out Sunday and I was down for the whole service. For our praise service after, I plugged into the Kbd amp(Roland 1x15) which also goes through the PA but I sounded like ****!

SO, you guys with tube amps,do you carry a spare amp> Or a collection of tubes? Or a tube tester?
Just how reliable are tubes anymore?

I would sac SS vs.tubes for reliability! But I'm sure I may be overreacting. Back in my ute(youth), I was in THE LAST elctronics class in the Navy that taught tube theory. I actually first learned about multivibrators(tubes) which when SS are called flip flop ckts(you know, on/off, ones and zeroes thang. It is what computers are based on!

I didn't specify, the Eden preamp is a tube. I replaced the tube but I have to go test it today. I have no external bottom at home to plug it into! I just have The Hartke Kickback 10 which I HIGHLY recommend for a cool little practice amp with a direct out in case of emergencies(like Sunday but I left it home).
