Hey,
I just picked up an Ampeg V6B cab(2x15's) and the guy threw in the V6B head for free as it's not working. I plugged it all in, but get no signal from the input jacks. I can turn the volume up, however, and get a hum from the speakers that changes as you mess with the EQ. Does anybody know anything about these amps? The cab rocks (I run my G&L through my Aguilar DB680 crossed over to a Crest CA9 into the Ampeg and an Eden 2x10--thundering lows and crystal highs), but I'm wondering if I should bother getting the head fixed--local amp repair guy said it'd be &#36150-&#36180 probably--'cause I do gig at places I don't wanna bring the rack. I just wanna know if anybody knows anything about the V6B and if I should bother, because there is NOTHING out there to read about it--I've tried, believe me. Thanks, y'all.

Have you open er up to see if there is any loose wires, that's the general case. A low hum is caused from the ground being disconnected or loose, i have the same problem with a big muff pedal a traded with a friend. If you don't see any obvious loose wires just check each by a little tug or inspection.

If you can't see anything obvious, try checking with a local Ampeg dealer for repairs. That would be my suggestion.
