Trying to trade my SVT-CL for 400 plus an SWR Bass 750. I havent found much info other than the SWR 750x goes for about $500 used. Can someone explain to me the difference between the two heads?

The SWR 750X has the octave and distortion circuits if I recall correctly.
I have owned half a dozen SWR amps and the 750 was my least favorite. It felt very underpowered. Otherwise I think their gear is sweet. I'd play them side by side with the cabinets you are going to be using and let your ears tell you if it's a good deal or not.
Say $400. or even $350/$375. it's older. To me much better than the X. Nothing extra in the circuit. It's the Redhead pre a Steve Rabe design. These next tips will get you some volume. Dial that treble back a hair possibly even the bass eq. Limit your aural enhancer to 11:00 at most, if at all. Dial that pre way up. See that pre light flash steadily then back off a hair. Then Master as much as you need.
I picked my bass 750 for $300 used. Great head I think( I do however have a vt bass pedal always on ). I heard that the 750x sounded a little more underpowered then the bass 750 but I never tried one out. With the right speakers this head gets loud. I haven't had a problem playing with loud drummers and 2 guitarists with Marshall 4x12s without me using a single peavey 410txf. I turn the aural enhancer almost all the way down and have no problem with being heard, or felt.

This. But if you love the SWR750(as I do), then you owe it to yourself to check out a Thunderfunk.
