Thanks all. I think I may have confused you a bit. I used my SVT head using a 4X10 and 1X 15 (not mine!) they were both 8 ohms so as Low sound says it was running at 4 ohms. My point was that I was just staggered at the difference in response from the amp and how little master I had to use...

I use a Ampeg SVT 3 Pro with the Ampeg HLF 4 X 10 cab. Whilst this seems ok, I used the head with a 4 X10 cab and 1 x 15, both connected at 4 ohms and the power from the amp was awesome! Although this was adding approx another 300W from the 1X15 I was left thinking why such a huge difference...

I am so glad I was put onto this thread. I've had my SVT3 pro for about 4 years playing in a loud punk band and I have finally got the best out of the amp with a great sound. I use a Fender P and Rickenbacker which both sound awesome. I've been given some really helpful advice on this amp the...

How hard can I hit the gain control, I've got it at about 10past. and just brought the master down a bit. Now if I need some more am I ok to turn up the gain more, what is the optimum gauge?

Thanks all. really useful stuff. Will give it a go next week and see how it is. Mike

Thanks Bob, can you just explain pre amp voltage (do you mean the gain??) useful to know that the LED should be lighting on every note. Thanks Mike

I have my SVT3 Pro through Ampeg 410HLF, GIVING ME 450W output. I have the gain set at about 12 O'clock, just before clipping when I strike hard and master up full. I sometimes think I just need a little more headroom, but seem to be at a bit of cul de sac - can't put up the gain anymore as it...
