So I'm reading that ampeg recommends using the fx loop for any kind of fuzz/dirt pedals, as putting it in front can cause "harmful clipping". That to me sounds like bologna but it got me thinking, I might like to idea of a clean blend with fuzz via the fx level knob on the front of the amp. I'm actually thinking of trying the fx loop out for my fuzz, maybe even my whole board, anybody else ever try this?

I use the FX loop for everything, and it works great as I can easily blend clean signal to taste, garnering an even greater tonal palette.

So you run your whole pedal board through the fx loop?

I've run overdrive through mine to get a bit more colour in the tone, the blend is a useful feature.

Yup. EQ, distortion, wah. I really like using a wah in the fx loop, it keeps the pitch stable while allowing me to wobble an undertone. It's really cool. If I choose, I can run the entire signal wet, too.

Hey guys, I've had my 7Pro for about a year now- rev c, no issues. I love this head! It sounds awesome with a P bass. Can I have a number?

Dirty Dave · #**348** 02-07-2013, 09:29 AM

I just took delivery of my new SVT-7 Pro yesterday. I was planning on buying a GK 1001RB-II (which I had before) to replace the Carvin B2000 in my gig rig. Then I came across this thread and was convinced I should give the SVT-7 Pro a shot instead. So glad I did!!

Ampeg amps have always been appealing to me but I never owned one of their "gig worthy" amps (I practice at home with a Micro-VR). So far, while just giving it a test run and exploring different settings, I am really digging the tones I'm getting from this thing. My first time ever (in over 25 years of playing) with a compressor...and with the "less-is-more" advice found in this thread, it appears to really tighten/clean up the tone.

Very excited to get this amp out to a gig!! I'm in a working cover band that usually plays 1-2 nights per week, so it will definitely be put to the test over the coming months. I'll report back for those interested. I'm pretty confident I will be looking for my number at that point

Awesome... Oh, and yes- the FX loop is very useful, especially w/ the blend knob.

Finally decided to go with the SVT7 Pro after checking videos, reading reviews and opinions here at TB. Ordered mine yesterday (I hope its gonna be a D00) so I'll be able to join this club very soon.

tekdiver500ft · #**352** 02-16-2013, 07:42 AM

Very cool, and congratulations on your purchase. Unless it's used, the odds are very much in favor of it being a D00.

AdamR · #**353** 02-16-2013, 08:16 AM

Looks like I have a 7Pro in my future. What cab is everyone using with them ? Id love a 810 but Im thinking of maybe a pair of 410HEs or a 610HLF

majortoby · #**354** 02-16-2013, 08:19 AM

I've played the 7pro through the 810e, 410hlf, and a gk neo 410. It sounded good with all, but IMHO, it most shone with the 810. Svt tones for days

I play mine through an 810 right now but in also thinking of getting 2 PF115's, anybody else doing that?

Brian Scherzer · #**357** 02-16-2013, 10:19 AM

I have played mine through an Epifani UL410 but prefer the sound of a pair of the fairly new Mark Bass 151RJ cabs (the Randy Jackson signature cabs). At less than 40 pounds per cab, us older guys can actually carry them! The sound is quite good.

here's my 7PRO with a pair of PN-115's. It great when gigs only require one cab but is thunderous with both.
