    Ampeg SVT-III Pro tubes

    Question for anyone who knows these amps. I opened the top and turned the power on to see what kind of glow I get and how long it takes to warm up.

    What small - mid size car is friendly to transporting gear?

    Finally have the sound I have been craving

    An Ampeg Svt Pro-3. The older generation from early to mid 90's. It's got enough juice to push the 8x10 nicely.
