    Ampeg SVT-4 Pro Questions

    After consulting with Ampeg (actually LOUDTech) the nice lady told me most likely we'd worn out the tube even though they ar enot blown. Strangely the 4pro had 1 Groove Tube (R) and 2 sovteks. We quite often shut this amp down without letting it cool, so maybe that is the problem. I just put...

    Ampeg SVT-4 Pro Questions

    Not tried playing the guitar through it. I have the big heavy style cables. One Neutrik to 1/4" and one 1/4" on both ends. It isn't bridged. Very simple Power Amp A to one cab.

    Ampeg SVT-4 Pro Questions

    Neither Ultra low or Ultra High is engaged. Compressor is on maybe 1/4. We've always had it about there. She has it on the the R&B settings that were in the manual for the most part. If she turns the gain down so the peak doesn't light it is either too quiet or has to turn up the master making...

    Ampeg SVT-4 Pro Questions

    Hi, I wanted to piggy back on this discussion with some questions. First of all, my wife plays through a SVT4Pro. And when we first brought it home we were very happy. Now I am experiencing some problems and I do not know if I can attribute it to the amp head, cabinets or something else...
