Among SVT-100T opinions

Found one for sale locally, but haven't had a chance to go check it out. How do these rate in the Ampeg-verse and how reliable/durable ?

Thanks,
Matt
I have been told that it has a Fender tone stack as it originally was a guitar amp called the V5, so that would lean it toward more scooped tones than a typical Ampeg with their Baxandall style tone stacks, but it seems to be pretty well regarded by those who have played through them. Pretty rare...only about 100 were made. Still seems to be a goodly amount of them still in use, so durability is probably as good as any Ampeg tube amp, though at this point, it's more of a matter of how it was kept up with over the years more than anything.
