Sign in to disble this ad
Wondering if anyone makes a truly hand-wired, hand-built Ampeg-type SVT amp.
I know the heritage B15N is hand-wired, but I'm taking SVT, not B15N
The only one I know of is Divided by 13....
Any others?

Oh....I like the SVT, and I have 2. Just wondered if I could get a fully hard-wired/hand-wired version. Why? Why does a man climb a mountain?
Just curious, but would like to purchase a point-to-point version if I can......

Basically, as Mammothsounds says, get an SVT, open it up, take it apart, put it back together using your hands: handwired SVT.

Or would you be happy with turret/tag/eyelet board hand wired?

| | | | I read in Tonequest magazine, years ago, that it was exactly the sum of the parts that made those amps sound like they did. If you change them, they won't sound like an SVT. They could sound better or worse.

A hand wired amp that *is* or is *similar* to an SVT. The Meat Smoke amp (previously mentioned in this thread), is a perfect example of what I mean......any others? Again, as I mentioned, Divided by 13 TBL200 is another amp. But, any others??
What kinda sound is the Reeves 225/400? Are the Reeves amps in the Ampeg SVT territory?
