Sign in to disble this ad
blackline era magnavox '72ish Ampeg SVT. NOS GE 6550's with plenty of life left. recently had the ungrounded 2 prong cable upgraded to a 3 prong cable because the two prong's lack of a ground kept shocking me to death. the preamp was recently partially retubed by Bruce who runs fliptops.net and lives a street over from me, he went over the rest of the amp and was vastly impressed by the condition and tone. comes with halfass ebay roadcase, I mostly liked it for the spring loaded handles because the slat handles on the sides of the SVT suck to carry. price drop! $1500 shipped.

Altec Lansings were offered as an upgrade, just FYI.
The rig 140 head + 106 cab cost about 700 bucks back in 75.
Big money back then.
Good luck on your SVT sale, looks like a great rig, well maintained it sounds like.

anyway, time to get the discussion back on the topic of the SVT . thanks for the positive regards! |

I'm probably going to replace it with an Orange AD200 and see if cutting 100 watts of headroom makes it easier for me to land the tones I desire in the same mix.
edit: also, would definitely straight trade this for an Orange AD200B at any point if anyone is interested, I had another thread going for that trade a bit back.
