Hello. I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with their Ampeg SVT-2 Pro taking ages to warm up? I can leave if for 20-40 mins and sometimes it just won't switch onto 'on' mode. It's really odd, and a big of a nightmare. Eventually it does switch on, but it's pot luck to guess when...

Hey, I've had contact with Ampeg and Loud quite recently with great results, they sent me the spares I wanted for free because I complained about the lack of support for parts in the UK. This is how it went: I emailed Dino, someone came back to me, I told them that spares are on massive...

Gotcha! Allow the unit to warm up at proper AC line voltage for at least 20 minutes. With no input signal present, adjust each control so that only the associated green LED is lit. The controls may be slightly interactive. If neither LED is lit, the amp is overbiased. This will result in...

Bias. I've tried using the controls on the back of the amp, not 100% where it's supposed to lie if you know what I mean. BTW thanks so far for your help guys!

My Ampeg SVT 2-PRO has gone a bit mental. I took to to a tech who said I need new tubes (worn out after 1 year and not played on loads 120 hours - but I didn't let them cool before moving/ventilation inlet has been covered by a case). So I got myself a matched sextet of the same tubes used by...

Cheers guys. JT, yeah the amp is idle, if I sweep the bias I go from jumping between green and red, just red and green and red at the same time... A few gigs before this was all good, and I'm sure it was fine the day before I noticed the fault, could be that it got bashed and dislodged a tube...

Any ideas :(

Hello! Thanks to TalkBass members I got my USA Ampeg converted to UK 240v, so THANK YOU! I have a new question, my amp is playing up been used for about 20 gigs and the bias lights are both showing red and green, the manual says this is a tube issue which should be checked out by a pro, I...

Cheers JT, the info also helped my tech. Incidentally if people live in Yorkshire they should use: www.Truvibe.co.uk Lovely guy although i think he's gonna charge more for this conversion type. He quoted me on the phone so very good to honor the price. My cabs a: SVT-410HE That's a...

Really? That's a pooper! Jamie

Anyone got any ideas?

BTW I managed to get the amp converted in the end, cost me £20! Bollocks to the guys at panic music they are a bunch of bare faced liars, i used the amp today and is great. Thanks guys! Jamie ps. Anyone know how i can convert my 8 ohm cab to run at 4 ohm?

I'm a newbee here so please be gentile. I bought myself one of these the other day from the USA, it has a multitap transformer on it so i know i can convert it to 240v but after looking at the schematics me and my tech are a bit confused. So, I thought it would be best to copy the settings...

Bump!

Ha Ha. Genious!
