    SVT-CL vs SVT-4 Pro

    Exactly what I wanted to know. I'll give each one their fair chance but, in the end, if I can't hear myself (pretty loud band), the amp's no good... Plus, I'm starting to like the versatility of the 4pro (clean boost with EQ, OD+boost with pedal, etc.)...

    Just how far can you push a cab?

    Thank you all for the replies. I'll just trust my ears then. About the gain thing, I like the mild overdrive of the preamp, so I like it to peak a bit more then the Ampeg guy in the vid CL400Peavey provided. Thanks!

    Just how far can you push a cab?

    Hi! I've been playing a svt4pro through an 810e for a while, but the dreaded mighty leds have kept me from getting the volume i wanted. Today, I've manned up, pressed the "limit defeat" button, cranked up the gain where I wanted it and the master too, and I had an orgasm. FINALLY the volume...

Although more pricey, the "indestructible if well maintained" aspect of the amp is a plus, since I've read conflicting opinions about the 4pro, but a consensus seems to be reached about the CL. I play heavy stuff and...

    SVT-CL vs SVT-4 Pro

    Weight is not an issue for me, I'm still young! I'd like to be able to add a 4 ohm 15" woofer. Would I be able to add a 4 ohm woofer to my setup with a CL? At 2 ohm, the SVT 4 pro delivers 935 watts and I've seen no 4 ohm woofer that can handle this much power. Then again, would I be able...

    SVT-CL vs SVT-4 Pro

    Hi! I currently own an Ampeg 810 and would like to know if volume output would be equal between a SVT-CL head and a SVT-4 Pro head? I'm not very familiar with tube heads for bass... Thanks!

    Why are Carvin heads so cheap?
