200 Watt SVT? How to do it?

[ishouldbeking]

The only thing that's preventing me from grabbing a AD200B is the fact that the tube sockets are soldered into the PCB. Especially since I like to drive my output tubes to grilled-cheese-cooking temperatures. If I played bass like a regular person, then I could probably be OK with the Orange.

an Electric Amp might be for you then... I get the feeling it's not the exact same amp, but it should be tonally similar. Pretty sure those are all handwired, made the right way, etc etc. The fact that you choose the output volume by picking the power tubes should help it hit your volume-to-grind sweetspot pretty easily.

IMO, from a tech standpoint, the Reeves 225 is by far the best 'built' bass amp made today.

if this amp didn't exist, I might agree with you.

That looks pretty tasty. Good thing I'm not in the market for a 300 Watter.

the $4695.00 price tag keeps me in check. if I win the lottery I'm buying two.

that's a shame small modern amp builders have to charge that much to build tube amps. that's quite a time investment and buying parts in small quantities is super expensive. but god bless 'em.

I hear you. a couple years ago Wizard was growing substantially, I considered working the cabinetry department.
I think it's scaled back down though.

So from what I hear if I have a 100watter with 4 power tubes and I pull out two the selectable
Impedence which were 4-8-16ohms are now 8-16-32ohms
And if I have a 300 watter with6 power tubes than that means if I have impedences that are selectable as 2-4ohms than when I remove 1/3 of the tubes instead of 1/2 then my impedences go from2-4 to 3-6 which means I keep using my 4ohm cab I just set the switch to 2 (actually 3)
My older SVT didn't have a switch but this MTI SVT does!!
I will go and read that info from before first and if I think I shouldn't do
It I'm going to sell
My g&l for another v4

So after having two of our band members out on tour for a month we had the LOUDEST practice ever (probably due to the fact the other band uses about a dozen Sunns) so my problem is solved for now.

I went and won an auction for a v4 half stack so now I can try the 2xv4=v8 rig
Woo hoo

Why am I always the threadkiller?

 

[UncleFluffy]

no pics, no half-stack

ya, indeed! that ought to rip pretty hard. doing a clean/dirt blend or dirting them both?

Woo hoo is right.

What cabs are you pushing? The original 4x12's or something else?

And both are V4s? Or one V4 and one V4B?

Pics will be awesome when they come... sound clips will be even better.

 

[sanfordandsonny]

Double dirt
V4 no b
In this situation an ultra low could have really done the Dew

I have a peavey 412txf and a 412tvx a v4 and svt
Now with the New Edition of another v4 (yay sensitivity switch=dirtydirty)I'm either
Going with a head for the PV and another for the V4
Or if I'm mistaken and I find out the v4 cab is not for me
I'm going to rewire one of the PVs divide the 12s into top and bottom.
I already rip out the crossover and disable the tweeter and use the former home of the tweeter level potentiometer as a parallel input jack.
It's dumb I had a discussion with a friend where we were on the fence about getting rid of our v4 cabs but we both realized if we had just one we might sell it but we would both agree that if we had a pair we'd keep it just to BLAST.
Weird GAS logic

Love the V4 midrange rocker. Same as the V9. Boost that 300K for square waves.

AbsoLUTEly keep both V4 cabs. That's an 8x12! Like an 8x10 on HGH.

 

[sanfordandsonny]

Buti guess my one peavey is like a solid dude beating you up
But the v4 cab stack is that scrawny guy who pairs up with his twin to fight DIRTY!

I recently picked up the preamp section of an SVT (Pc board and Chassis) and a custom amp builder is going to pair it with a 200 watt Kt88 power section...thus becoming a 200 Watt SVT...or a V4bh on steroids!
