    73 SVT on/off switch replacement

    No I have not. Good idea though - Im going to give that a shot - Fliptops.com is on vacation or something until April 1 (posted on their website) so I have until then before I need to order the switch.

    73 SVT on/off switch replacement

    Thanks for the info! I will try and get ahold of Hodgy today. By any chance is this the same switch used for the polarity toggle? My initial thought was just to swap those two out since the polarity switch is never used (my cord is now a 3 prong HD cord).

    73 SVT on/off switch replacement

    I've had the poweramp section out already (as I stated above, I've replaced the standby switch). I was just wondering the easiest way to access the on/off switch and which of the above switches would best do the job.

    73 SVT on/off switch replacement

    My 73 SVT is having an issue with the on/off switch. Can anyone guide me through this repair? I have replaced the standby switch about a year ago and now its time to replace the on/off switch. I'm really not sure how to remove the faceplate to get at the switch or if the whole assembly with...

    Thoughts on Markbass 121 Lite (Alain Caron) combo amp?

    I gigged a Mark Bass 121p / NY 121 rig on Sat night doing all 70's rock and pop. Amazing!!! My precision w/ flatwounds sounded great on that old school music. This rig is extremely portable and had no problem keeping up with a drummer, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards, and 3 singers!

    Best amp for acoustic jam...

    Thanks for the info! I picked up an Ampeg Micro CL for $299 and for what Im using it for - its perfect. I have 30 days to decide if I will keep it or possibly upgrade to the Micro VR being that it is expandable (can add another 210 cab). I dont know, there isnt one nearby and $549 is a little...

    Best amp for acoustic jam...

    Im in need of a small amp to help push me above the guitars when we play acoustically. I have a Takamine 4 string and get completely lost (drown out) when jamming w 2 6-string and a 12 string and 3 vocalists. Sometimes we just show up, find a corner in a local bar or even out on a deck or...

    SVT CL with 8x10 - Talk me out of it

    +1 Both is NEVER a bad idea. I use my SVT rig 90% of the time and take my more portable GK rig to gigs and parties. Best of both worlds!

    Tubey + DI

    Its not that the BDDI sounds bad - I like the tones I get out of it - I just prefer to have a mid control. I know most BDDI guys will say "cut the bass and treble if you want to boost the mid" - I get that. I still prefer the ability to tweak the mid AND bass and treble. The paradriver takes...

    Tubey + DI

    I just received a VT from a fellow TBer and absolutely love it! Im taking the BDDI back tomorrow. I was going to exchange it for the Paradriver just so I have a DI when jamming the SVT rig but after hearing you guys speak of the Reddi - maybe Ill check that out instead.
