SVT 2 Pro or 70's SVT? What would you do?!

Sign in to disble this ad
So, i love my current rig (SVT 2 Pro, 810E) but I recently made the mistake of trying this 1970's SVT that's been for sale in a local shop for a couple months. The SVT sounds amazing! Ive only had my 2 Pro for about a year and its already been in the shop twice, which is the main reason I'm thinking about trading it in for the SVT. Anybody have any advice? I know those things are built like tanks and that they dont make amps like that anymore, but would it hold up with the heavily overdriven signal I'd be throwing at it? Its priced at $1600, which seems more than reasonable to me, but i could be wrong. Would this be the right choice, or am i just being impulsive and should probably just leave good enough alone?

Up to you. I prefer non-master SVT's like vintage and VR's, but not by much. Got no problem with the 2 Pros or CL's. They're all great, just slightly different.

Get the 70's. Sounded better to you, and higher resale value overall.

Win/win.
