ELECTRIC TUBE AMPS: VL SERIES

Ampeg brought in electrical and amplifier engineer Lee Jackson to design the VL Series of guitar amplifiers. These amplifiers featured channel switching (except the VL-501/VL-1001), switchable 6550/EL34 power tubes, and a lock and key system to prevent unauthorized use. Ampeg also offered four speaker cabinets for use with the VL amplifiers including the V412TV with 4-12 in. Celestion Vintage 30s, V412TC with 4-12 in. Celestion G12T-75s, the SS412A with 4-12 in. Ampeg Custom speakers, and the SS212 with Celestion G12K-85 speakers.
