    Ampeg SVT VR Head requiring at least 115 volts from wall socket

    This is SO helpful! I really appreciate the step by step instructions and pictures. It's great to know that you've got your amp working down to 95v. Definitely a big improvement in reliability. Thanks again for all the info! I can't wait to get mine modded.

    This is fantastic! Thanks for the pics of the y-cord and schematic and thanks in advance for the post-mod pics and variac test results. It's so nice to know that this is potentially a really easy fix. How did you make the y-cord yourself if I might ask?

    Re-tubing my SVT-VR. Any suggestions/warnings on tube types?

    Mostly just trying to see what other tones I can get out of the amp. Also, I've put a lot of hours on these tubes, and figure being proactive can't hurt.

    Thanks for the info guys! These are great suggestions, I'm hoping some more people respond and give a breakdown of what tubes they used and how they affected the overall sound. Thanks again.

    Re-tubing my SVT-VR. Any suggestions/warnings on tube types?

    In the next couple weeks I'd like to re-tube my SVT-VR. Basically, I'm looking for suggestions/ideas on what other people have used when re-tubing these amps and how different configurations have sounded. Any info will be warmly welcomed! Just looking for options! Thanks.
