I placed an order for some Rickenbacker tuning keys 6 months ago. They didn't have the bushing available back then, they wanted to keep the money and send me the keys when everything was available. I kindly asked them to be refunded, they refunded me. 6 months have passed, yesterday, to my last...

thank you baxter_x and thank you all for your reply! I'll follow you suggestion and keep the gain a little lower. I hope it fix the issue so that I can sell my Mesa wd-800. lovely amp, but not my tone :) cheers!

Never tried the active pad, playing a passive rick 4003. It is not hot at all when it happens...guess I was just unlucky...

It's not in a rack, just on top of the cabinet, and it start happening after 15 minutes playing.. Should I put it in a rack? Playing at bedroom levels works fine, but I have to raise the volume in the band. However o would like to point out that I am using the same volume since the beginning...

Hi! thanks for your reply! I run it with gain at 2 'clock and master at 10. EQ pretty much flat. I tried in both 8 ohm confiuration with a 410 Pro Neo ampeg and at 4 ohm adding a spare 8 ohm 115 cab in parallel. could this be the problem? the peak led is not blinking though... I shouldn't have...

I bought my svt 7 pro in 2018. Rev C board Rev H. After 6 month of light use at rehearsal 5 hours/week started to cut off. Sent it in warranty to a repair shop. They told me they did not find anything wrong with the amp. Got the amp back and off course started to cut out again. Desperate, I...

I love Ampeg tone, but I had too many problems with their SVT heads to like their reliability. First an SVT-3 with a high pitch buzz, then an SVT-7 that cuts off at live gigs...too much. If I am not mistaken it's been 10 years that they released their latest SVT head. Isn't it time for Yamaha...

Thanks for your reply! but tecnically speaking stacking B3K before the Harmonic Booster should be the same as the B7K ultra? I mean, if the Harmonic Booster do not color the tone is just an eq, right?

Greetings from Italy, I already own a Darkglass B3K, but I need a preamp to shape the signal for both clean and dirty. I have 2 alternatives: 1) sell B3K and purchase the B7K Ultra V2 2) buy the Harmonic Booster and put it before my B3K. I dig the extra DI output and the cab simulator on the...

Sounds like this might not be the best timing to buy a new Ampeg...better to wait Yamaha sort things out and fix the major issues...

Thanks Razman! I am in Parma, a 200k people city in northern Italy between Milan and Bologna. But it's definitely more famous for the Parmesan cheese... :)

At this point I won't purchased this SVT-6 for sure. Thanks for all your suggestions. I forgot to mention I am based in Italy, and if the SVT-6s are rare in the US, here are much more rare! Anyway I will send the SVT-7 to repair, and try the Mesa D800+ that I never had the chance to try (here...

Wow....is it the svt 6 that noisy? I didn't notice when I tried it... Anyway @Raw N Low did you recognise the serial number? Neither Ampeg can go back to when and where it was made... Thanks

Thanks for the tips, I called Ampeg and they told me SVT-6 has been discontinued in 2009, therefore, no warranty and parts hard to find. Also the serial number doesn't match with their records. I will skip this head, is not even discounted. I love my svt-7 sound, but have it's reliability. The...

Hi everybody! I am new to the forum, this is my first thread, but I am following talkbass since I started playing bass, a few years ago, nice to meet everyone! I own an SVT-7 paired with a PN 410. Since lately it stops making sounds for few instant while I am playing, then is goes back without...
