problem with vintage ampeg SVT
- Thread starter schnake
- Start date
Do you mean the volume actually increases and comes back down to the level you
had it set at while playing through it for awhile? Usually with tube amps you hear of
the volume level cutting in and out and it's a matter of sorting out the power output
stage of the amp. With a vintage SVT head I'd take it to a good amp tech as these
beasts are one of the most complicated tube heads ever made and like a vintage
sports car of elegant design they do need to be serviced on a regular basis.

Hi Schnake,
where do you live I know of an excellant tech who know your amp like the back of his hand. His name is Dennis Krager from Central Jersey Music Service he was with Ampeg for alot of years. He may have helped design the SVT. I think he knows more about that amp then anyone else out there. His phone number is 732-572-1911. Call him ask his about your problem.
