Is there such a thing as an user manual for the early SVT's, have searched the net but don't seem to be able to find anything, although I have found many links to the schematics. |

Mine is a 1970 (I dated the pots to January 1970) and like all of them it's simple.

Like one of the prior posters said?, It's pretty simple, and follows the usual AMPEG pattern, boost and cut from 12o;clock. The rocker switches speak for themselves. |

I'm quite happy with my settings and don't need any guidance with that, its just nice to have the whole package.  |

| | | There is a general manual that covers several models including the SVT here ( http://www.ampegv4.com/pdf/v4_manual.pdf, http://www.ampegv4.com/images/).
I have seen a 1977 SVT service manual reproduction that included the schematics, parts list, calibration procedure, circuit board layout, and specs. It has been offered on eBay from time to time ( http://myworld.ebay.com/1023chris/) for $10. I don't have a copy but it looked interesting.

This is the most useful page to me, I am not qualified to work on this amp.
Other than this page, it's just schematics and part numbers. I got it free here from someone, sometime ago, and if you want the full thing send me a PM and I'll get it out to you. Be sure to include your email address as it's a zip file.
