Ampeg SVT 6 Pro B-stock

[Murph_Orpheus]

I recently had a thread on here comparing the SVT 4 against the SVT 7, but in the meantime I've come across the SVT 6 for sale in a store in the UK that was used as a demo head in the shop. It's recently been fully serviced and being sold at the same price as a brand new SVT 7. Is it worth taking a chance on it?

What's the warranty like?

[Murph_Orpheus]

There's a year warranty and a 14 day money back guarantee.

i had a 6 pro.. it did a flame job on me, and personally i found it to be my least favorite of the pro line tone wise.

And I had a 6Pro, US made, and thought it was the best of the line. Mine also never gave me trouble, just great tone at high volume.

Love my 6 Pro!

All the SVT Pro amps are very good man. You hear about all these people having problems with them but i've had 2 2 pros and 1 4 pro and have never ever had a seconds trouble with any of them. After I ordered my 4 pro, i read all these horror stories online about them overheating and shutting down etc, but it was 100% reliable always.

I would go would go with the 6 PRO.

More tubes, and its list price was a lot higher than the 7 PRO, so both being at the same price its not Bad.

[Murph_Orpheus]

Can the 6 pro go as clean as a 4 pro?

[RickenBoogie]

Absolutely.

[Murph_Orpheus]

Hmm might be worth picking this up then. The only thing thats swaying the 7 pro for me is the weight and headphone out.

This heating problem is getting me worried a little,having just brought the 6 pro,having installed in a rack case im thinking shall i have some breathe holes drilled in the side to help out on the over heating ???? im really happy with its sound,possibly the best ive ever had !,,,,runs thru a 4x10 ampeg and use the ibanez grooveline 5 stringer.
