+1 to this. Different peoples' sweat has different content, be it acids, salt, toxins, etc. So it varies as far as when one type of string will go dead over another. Also depends on how much you wipe down and/or clean your strings with products like FastFret. In my personal experience, my...

Correct me if I'm wrong though, but can't I just adjust the phase of one set of cabs to correct this problem?

Basically, I want to be able to run one full stack (4x10" + 1x18") on each side of the stage for smaller shows, and two full stacks on each side of the stage for the big outdoor ones. We like to run all over the place when we play, and having bass amps on each side of the stage ensures that...

Oh, I was already prepared for a bombardment of replies that had nothing to do with providing me with an actual answer. ;) LOL. Thanks for a quick one, though! I discovered from Ampeg that they actually made two SVT18 cabs...the SVT18 is a 4 ohm cab, while the SVT18E is an 8 ohm cab...

Hey all, I will soon be purchasing a couple older Ampeg SVT18E 1x18" cabs for my biamp setup (the "EN" versions with the Speakon jacks). I noticed that these cabs are 4 ohm cabs. I am using Ampeg SVT410HE cabs on top for the high end/mids (currently running SVT15E 1x15"s on bottom). The...

Thanks, I was actually thinking of just adding a 9v DC jack (powered by Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus) and doing it that way, considering I can't find anything on (safely) tapping into the 120v supply from the wall to power the LEDs. I DID actually install an IEC power jack on the side so that...

I have a vintage Tel-Ray/Morley Power Wah Boost, and am wondering how to add two LEDs to this pedal (keep in mind it runs off of 120v from the wall, NOT a 9v battery). The LEDs are for Wah and Boost on/off status. I'm just wondering what types of LEDs I will need, along with any resistors, and...

Hey everyone, I upgraded one of my Spector Legend Classics to the Spector USA 9v Tone Circuit (same as the ones used in the USA NS-2s). The output of this preamp is so hot, it is clipping my Ampeg SVT-3's preamp with the gain only on 3! I know the TonePump circuit has an internal trimpot to...

Nothing beats the tone of a vintage Morley Power Wah Boost and a vintage Big Muff Pi for Cliff tones...but if you're gonna go the modern route, I suggest checking out a Bass Big Muff Pi and a Morley Tremonti Power Wah. I have (and use) the Morley Dual Bass Wah, but to my ears, the Tremonti wah...

Hello again, I have some more questions regarding modding these old Morley PWB pedals. Specifically, I want to swap out the boost and wah toggle switches for TPDT ones to enable true bypass. I also want to add two red LEDs, one for each switch, to be used as wah/boost status indicators...

Sort of true. I have a 4x10"/1x15" setup. While it IS limited when using it with my SVT-3 Pro head, I've used it bi-amped with an SVT-4 and it sounded absolutely amazing. If you can dedicate two independent signals to two speaker cabs, the 4x10"/1x15" setup really works wonders. If you...

Hey gang, I have a couple old vintage Morley Power Wah Boost pedals, and one of them is a bit on the fritz. One seems to have lost the "oomph" from the boost, and just kind of makes a fizzy sound. It's not the light bulb, as it works just fine. Basically I'm trying to find someone who is...

Loud. Vietnam-made, to be exact. I owned several USA-made SVT-3 Pros in the past with no issue whatsoever. I wasn't too pissed off about this at first, because I figured it was just the common bias issue with the Bourns pot, but now that I realized that the noise is coming through the DI...

UPDATE: Still doing the farting thing. :( I also realized it does it on the DI out as well, so wouldn't that mean it's not a problem in the power amp section (power amp wouldn't run to DI)? Guess it's time to shoot off another PO'ed E-mail to Loud...

My SVT-3 head is "farting" whenever I use heavy picking or attack. It is a buzzy, loud, distorted "fart" (sorry, but that really is the best description I can possibly compare it to) at the initial attack of the note; sustain and decay are not affected and still sound fine. During lighter...
