    hey people,

    i have obtained this amp and i am kinda unsure of most of its specs. its weird coz i have never heard of a svt 3, i know the svt 3 pro, but not a straight svt 3. if anyone knows more about this amp than me please let me know, like when they were made and for how long, when did they change to the svt3 pro, and such. it gets 200 watts into my 8 ohm cab and it sounds pretty damn good, i must admit. im just curious

    thanks
    A.

    Holy crap! There really IS an SVT 3 non-pro! I never knew that! From the lettering style, I'd say 1991 or 2. The Pro started in 93. I don't know anything else, though. Never heard of it. That's got to be a pretty rare item, I would think.

    Pretty much the same as the Pro but less power (350 watts), doesn't have the tube drive, banana plugs instead of speakon connector and less sliders on the EQ.

    Great amp.

    I've got a review in a german magazine for it, but I think that doesn't help much. :)

    There was a recent thread. Look it up, SVT III. Got good reviews on there if I remember well.

    PM me if you want a PDF manual........

    Time period is 1992 and 1993. I know of Serial numbers with date codess from "E5" to "FA"....... 1992 may to 1993 November.

    I do think they were a little earlier also, but I'd have to dig more.

    I am going to look at this same amp this week from a guy that has it for sale here locally (I started a thread on here asking for advice). Have you tried it? Does it sound good?

    Looks like a SS power version of the non pro 2. That might be cool piece to have.
