Hey guys, Been working on this for a long time now, but really pleased with how it turned out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA23qqTHkts Link Removed We did almost everything ourselves, except the tracking for the drums and one or two guitar parts which were done in a local...

Well it looks like it will have to go back to the tech. Not ideal because he does not have a fast turn around and the last repair cost me £130 :( I was just a little curious about what Jerold said when he says that they are prone to doing it. Also what is the coil involved? Is the mid range...

Bringing this thread back to life momentarily... This has just happened to my SVT 2 Pro. Something broke in the mid range selector area that was causing squealing and all sorts of nasty issues. I took it to a tech who fixed that and now just a few weeks later after maybe 2-3 hours of total...

Hey all, got a nasty issue with my SVT 2 Pro :crying: Hadnt turned the amp on in several weeks so decided to fire it up yesterday. I turn it on and let it warm up for a while and then when I come out of standby I hear a fainter "kick" sound than usual, followed by a high-pitch squeal...

The cab is most certainly a bad match. Ported 610 warwick cab, likely to have sub-par efficiency. With the ultra low pushed in I roll off the lowest slider on the EQ down about half way and I roll the bass knob back to about 10 o clock. The drive knob is also up to about 11 o clock which...

thanks for the input john. I own both an svt 4 pro and an svt 2 pro. I wish I could somehow combine their strengths. The svt 2 has rich harmonics and great natural drive. The svt 4 has plenty of headroom, tight lows and more "stable" overall sound. I recall basoballs saying he did some mods to...

thankyou JGR. is this what I would be looking at? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] they seem to do a newer/alternate version. v1.2. how much performance increase can I expect out of one of these kits, and what other options are there for a tighter sound that wont compromise harmonic...

I've had a look into this and I'm still not 100% sure precisely which parts I would be looking to change or how much they are but here goes. Loving the tube harmonics and rich tone but not loving the "sag" / pokeyness when pushed. Nor the low end response for that matter. Its an SVT 2 Pro...

Thanks Jim. I'm guessing that the power tubes in the 2 pro are maxed out by default in this case, which would explain why the controls on the svt 4 became so sensetive. I'm gonna continue to compare/experiment with the two. Right now the 2 pro seems more musical but the 4 pro seems more...

Ok so I finally got to A/B the SVT 2 pro today at a decent volume. Here are my observations..... First things that leapt to my attention: 1. SVT 4 had a much tighter and even-sounding low/mid bass response. Much less dynamic range in this part of the EQ spectrum, quicker to react and 100%...

Ive been in the SVT-comparison rabbit hole for a while now and I am still learning. I'll chime in with what I've learned so far. Ive been using an SVT 4 Pro for about 4 years or so. It is a very clean sounding amp and does not do any of the "traditional" SVT grind / growl. On the other hand, it...

I'm bringing the svt 2 pro and the cab home tonight where I have the svt 4. Going to do some hands on experimentation. I am assuming that the head is in full working order, according to the previous owner it was retubed about 8 months ago and they all seem to be glowing healthily. Did a test for...

Thanks for the reply bovril. It did seem to me that the drivers were moving a little more than they were with the SVT 4 pro, despite producing an equal percieved volume in the room. Perhaps the cab is a bad match for the head. It is after all only a 610 and its ported and I have no idea how...

Thankyou for this detailed reply chris. I am starting to think that the 2 pro might be working just fine and that I was simply expecting too much. The ultra low is an absolute must. Sonically it works much better with the band and the mid/upper mids are there to provide the tune and...

In your opinion which tubes gave the most headroom and low end clarity? did you switch from 6550's to KT88's? Anyone else care to jump in on the tube-rolling side of things?
