    SOLD Ampeg B100R

    Here we have an American made Ampeg B100R. It's 100% functional (and sounds great) but has some cosmetic damage. The previous owner said that it fell out of the back of a pickup truck at a very slow speed. Structurally everything is sound and would make a great amp for small gigs or practice...

    NAD - One from my Bucket List (Ampeg B100R)

    I have always wanted an Ampeg B100R. I don’t need it, and I really wouldn’t want to have to move it every time I have a gig but the appeal of that blue tolex and the classic Ampeg sound has always had a pull on me. The issue has always been that I cannot find one in good shape, or when I do they...

    Ampeg B100R or what?

    In my pursuit of a B100R I’m running into a lot of $350 rigs located at Guitar Centers along the east coast, beat up, some with worn pots and jacks, etc. There was one in great condition for $200 in the Maine Craigslist but that was gone QUICK. The one on eBay is fetching some serious coin at...

    Played my first gig, but wondering..

    So last night I played my first gig... Man did it feel good to play on a nice stage with a good crowd! Our band plays classic rock with some grunge stuff tossed in there as well so it’s a good mix. We’ve got a hell of a PA system that we bring along, as well as lights fog etc. to put on a good...

    Ampeg B100R line out

    Sorry, dumb questions -- Do I use a guitar or speaker cable to go from the line out on an Ampeg B100R to a mixing board? What is the maximum length of cable I should use? I have a Live Wire Solutions PDI Direct Box. Would it be better to use a short cable from the line out to the DI box and...

    I found an Ampeg B100R in a pawn shop today. No price, dirty and the transformer is slightly rusty. Everything works on it, tje gain is pretty scratchy, but I'm sure deoxit can take care of that. The price they quoted me was about half the price that I have seen them sell for. This made me...

    Ampeg B100R replacement knobs

    Howdy folks, My recently purchased used B100R has one broken and one missng knob. I can find two sources on ebay and Ampeg doesn't have them anymore. I wonder if the ones from ebay will fit because I found the pot's shafts to be quite narrow - I'm pretty sure those are not 1/4" shafts. NEW -...

    Ampeg B100R Line Out to PowerAmp?

    I searched and found a number of threads about the B100R and one that specifically talked about the Line Out. I didn't find an answer to this, specifically. Can I use the unbalanced 1/4" line out on the B100R as a direct input to a power amp. If so, would a relatively transparent PowerAmp into...

    I went and checked out a old Ampeg B100R yesterday with the intention of purchasing it to have in my future studio.

    Ampeg B100R compared to Fender Rumble 100 V3

    How do the 2 amps compare sound-wise? I've always wanted to try an B100R. I have the Rumble. Is there enough difference to warrant picking up the Rocket amp?
