Comments about Ampeg GVT15-112 15W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
The Ampeg GVT15 is like a hot-rodded Fender Princeton. Vintage tube tone cleans and great overdriven thick tone. Single coil pickups and humbuckers sound like they should, i.e. unlike many low quality amplifiers which simply spit out one basic generic tone regardless of what you put into it. The Ampeg GVT15 is superior to Fender's Hotrod series amps. It's more on a level with Fender's reissue series like the Princeton Reverb and Deluxe Reverb reissue amps, both of which I own. The difference is that the Ampeg has better midrange tones and saturated tube distortion. The spring reverb is good and adds dimension, though not as sparkling and 'drippy' as the Fender. The birch plywood construction is solid and can stand up to abuse fairly well. It comes with high-end tubes. The Celestion speaker is good enough for most ears, but I may switch to a Weber or Celestion Vintage 30 to shape the tone a bit more. Great amp, built like the Ampegs in the 70's 10 out of 10, two thumbs up, Guitar Player Pick Award.

Great amp if you've got a good backbone. Don't believe everything you read. I have no agenda, just up late at night.
Comments about Ampeg GVT15-112 15W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
i thought the ampeg (with the 6V6 power tube section) might be a good alternative to the fender princeton reverb reissue. . no luck. i A-B'd this against my Peavey Delta Blues and my Fender Blues Junior. with my old #1 strat. (both, good amps for my uses, i use the Delta Blues outdoors and the BJ indoors) my best and most honest tone judge (the whip) said the ampeg lost almost every blind comparison. the grind that can be dialed up or down seems a bit square wave-ish. not really musical in it's nature. my short description would be that ampeg has managed to build a tube amp that sounds like a solid state amp. i returned it after a few days of fussing with every possible knob configuration. overall it just failed to yield a useable (for me) tone. i play in a bluesy kinda band and play clean and dirty, no metal or boogie stuff, just looking for a warm, round, tone with some fur around the edges. the ampeg was of no help.
volume, master volume, treble, middle, bass, and verb. high and low power switch. that's enough.
hummed on warm up out of the box. the humm dissapated and it was humm free after an hour or so.
gotta be a lot of amps out there that sound as good or better in the price range.
