Ampeg SVT-8Pro
Yeah the elusive 8-Pro. From what I've heard it isn't in production yet and the ones that are out there floating around were all made by LOUD in the USA before the production change to Vietnam. Rumor is there is somewhere between 35-50 of them and they were test amps that went out to endorsee's and such then went back to the factory for refurbishing and some of the dealers got ahold of them. This is only what I read somewhere I don't know for certain if that was the case. It's a really great amp. I've A/B it to one of my SVT's and its pretty darn close to it. You can also see in the amp that there is only 3 tubes not 4 like advertised. Yeah as for as I know it's a class D amp. It's not too heavey but it's no feather weight.
Youll notice a few things:
The Sanken output transistor is a very popular part in bass amps, as well as VERY expensive recievers. These chips are flat from about 20hz to just over 30Khz. Very cool.
Ribbon connectors: Why? The ones in the svt II's go bad quite often. they jostle around and lose connection quite abit. I replace them with ones that have clips on either side, yeah I have to do some cutting to fit, but once in they dont go anywhere.
Cap sizes: have gotten smaller, not so much as value, but in physical size. This is nice as it cuts down on weight and overall needed space for the part.
fffreddy, could you get me some good close up gut shots of your interstellar overdrive?
Lastly: We owe so much to Russ Allee its insane!
