    Ampeg SVT-II appreciation thread

    Bummer, but turns out that Ampeg 215 isn't local to me. It's Duluth *Georgia*(I'm in MN), and local pickup only. I got excited without reading the full address. Oh well, probably for the best, can't really afford anything right now anyways. I also read a few threads on these and these make...

    I found this cab somewhat local to me, and very affordable. I read a few threads on this, and it seems this cab was sorta made for these amps, am I wrong thinking this? Being from the same era and all

    Thank you! My old one had that exact case, though I'm not opposed to a newer version so long as it fits(I almost like the later versions better). It'll probably be a few months or more before I get a case of some sort. I decided not to attempt cleaning the graphic eq, rather I put the top...

    The 12ax7 must've came loose during shipping, so I dusted around everything and put it back in. Would there be any harm in removing the front panel to clean dust off the graphic eq, I was thinking a q tip would work well(I can see layer on the sliders from the outside) I still plan on bringing...

    Excellent, I will take it to the nearest GC this week just to be safe. That way I can also plug it into a cab if it all checks out. I sold my amp and cab a few years back, been using IEMs and a Tech21 VT for the last few years, really missed having an actual rig. Even if this SVT2 does end up...

    Ampeg SVT-II appreciation thread

    It was sold as working, it was listed on both GC and Musicians Friend sites. I will open it up later today or tomorrow and see before plugging it in. It wasn't packed very well when I got it, just a bunch of bubble wrap in a cardboard box, so hopefully it wasn't damaged. Either way, I will be...

    Just got this last week, 2nd time owning one of these. I had a later version about 20 years ago that I got off a neighbor with a 4x10 and 1x15(IIRC $1,200 for the whole rig), but regretably sold it around 2009. I never forgot how cool this amp sounded, really missed having it. I haven't...
