Yeah, Ampeg was never cosidered much for their guitar amps, but this VL1002 were well engineered and kind of unique, definetely not some sort of clone.
Well I'll be damned! Now this is what I've been waiting for. The Ampeg VL1002. I remember the magazine ads back in the day....
I have never played the actual amp but the profiles are right down my alley. Good job and thanks for profiling this rare and often misjudged amp.
