I'm sure, but by the same token, they also know it was discontinued. Products that get the axe very rarely get brought back, so it's a longshot.

Good point, but it got discontinued when big amps were still in vogue. Things have changed.
I have two in like-new condition. I did the line-in mod so I use them as a full stack with the second amp operating as a slave amp.

If you disconnect the blue power light, the pop on shut-off goes away.It has the pop on shutoff and a loose port, so it is definitely a B100R!
Will give it a nice cleaning and fix the ports ASAP

Agreed. The B100R is one of the best amps Ampeg ever put out, IMHO. They capture that B-15-esc sound about as well as anything out there and are surprisingly loud ... enough to cover a lot of different gigs. Yamaha (if you're listening) ... just make it with two handles on the sides, switch the permanently attached power cable to a more modern detachable IEC cable and maybe add a DI this time around.
Damn now I'm gassing for one. I already have a v4b and SVT vr. I was recently looking around for a smaller practice amp, then I found this thread. Found a b100r in my state but it's almost $500 great condition. Kinda hard to swallow, but who knows. OP how are you liking it?
350~400 was the price a couple years ago for one in like-new condition.
275~300 would get you a beater.
But again, that was two years back.

I'll see if I can talk him down a little. It's mostly the add $80 shipping. Is about 7 hr drive from me. Why does Pa have to be such a long state.
I am aware, but I don't mind the pop so I'll keep it as I remember reading it doesn't hurt the amp (someone correct me if I'm wrong).But thanks
Couldn't agree more.
I'm loving it!
Luckily for you though, the US is a much bigger market, I'm sure a "new" one will pop up from time to time in the classifieds.And you have pawn shops, which aren't as much of a thing here.
Patience is key.
Stay safe

Had some fun cleaning it with a few simple tools:
So you cleaned it before selling it, you say?
Cleaned on the left:
We all know Ampeg put those rear ports for kids to shove things into them.
Children confirmed:
And now, to remove that 20 year old protective film :
It changed colour and the tolex shines!
Ingredients:
-toothbrush
-water and a drop or two of soap
-microfiber cloth
-elbow grease
-done veeeery carefully with minimum amounts of water, one small area at a time
Hope those of you who are a bit OCD like me appreciated the slide show

I've done that a few times when I had two of them. I gave one to my son aka starving musician.
