    vintage ampeg svt midrange problem?

    thanks steve! good info. it originally had the 12ax7 in the preamp but the tech put it back to 70's specs with the 12dw7s and a few resistor changes.

    vintage ampeg svt midrange problem?

    no, channel 2 normal sounds better for some reason.lol. the clarity of the mids is weird on channel 1 normal. its almost like the mids are over powering the bass and treble.

    vintage ampeg svt midrange problem?

    maybe the preamp tube that operates the mids is messed up? all of the tubes light up. i just want this thing in good working order.
