      Huh very interesting info about the SS? There's a SS 140C on C/List in my State for $250. Old School Blue Label on the Front. Like you say I am sure the VH is a Killer Head & has more Gain than anyone could ever need! I have been talking with the Dude who owns it & he honestly says the same thing that the Gain is Killer & it really is a Great Amp! The Chorus along with the Reverb on the Clean channel sounds Awesome. Hopefully I will be going to try it out in a few days & I can finally see for myself what this Head is all about! Thanks! \m/

            Yeah for sure Buddy! They seem to sell anywhere between $250 if your lucky (Sometimes even cheaper!)....On up to $500+! One just went on E-Bay & right after it listed BOOM! A $325 Bid already! Man these things are popular! Check it out.....http://www.ebay.com/itm/330946909220...84.m1423.l2649

                  first three years of the ss were blue face...the 1st year had a different ampeg logo (like the one from the 709's)...the next two years had just the word ampeg across for the logo...years 2 and 3 are actually a tad more vicious than my first year one but mine just sings on single note stuff...the biggest difference between the ss and the vh series is the reverb...it's more subtle on the ss series but the gain circuits are virtually identical as is the chorus circuit...you can't go wrong with either honestly but if you have a chance i'd listen to both first (if you can) and make your decision from there...but either is a great amp for sure...d.m.

                    Thanks again for all the info Dude...It really does help me out! The one I would be getting (If I do?? ) would be the one below. Like you said either way.....Sounds like you really can't go wrong. \m/

                              How do these Ampegs compare to a Marshall 8100 hybrid?

                                I think they are WAY better. more gain, smoother gain, and a nicer EQ curve.
