200 Watt SVT? How to do it?

[JimmyM]

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!

that sounds pretty kickass, eh?

That's it... that's the holy grail... if I could find a parted out SVT id probably do the exact same thing.

Nice! good luck!
May your tubes burn bright but not catch fire.

I'm a power-tube distortion kind of guy.

Sound men hate me. I hate them back.

120 Watt amps (Sunn, Orange, etc...) aren't loud enough.

Even my Boogie D-180 doesn't seem loud enough at times.

The Reeves 225 is in the sweet spot if you want to dime the amp and not get hauled off by the decibel police...

But I love the dimed 'peg sound. How to get the dimed SVT sound at 2/3rds the volume?

(This is really just a thought experiment. I know fuzz pedals exist.)

an attenuator. i have a weber mass lite for my v4b when it gets used for guitar...

Yet another zombie thread! What works for a guitar amp doesn't necessarily translate well at the frequencies we use with a bass.
