Ampeg SVT 50th Anniversary Edtition

[Jwood]

I’m all in and waiting for this amp to hit the street. Unfortunately my rep at SW informed me that the current ETA is November. Does anyone else have any info on its release?

That’s not too far away...I hope that’s accurate.

They better hope there are no unforeseen delays as the 50th Anniversary ends Dec 31.

You can now pre order through the usual suspects. Ship date is estimated late August.

I'll wait for a secondhand one at that price! Pretty cool design though.

$2700 street? That's about what I was expecting.

Assuming they have a few stockpiled already, it might actually be possible to order one with a July production date, which would be exactly 50 years since my 69 was made. ...my wife would be thrilled. Lol

A bit steep in price for an amp that is already overpriced, IMO. I'm sure those that buy will love it though.

About what I'd expect for a Heritage VR model as well, street on the regular VR is $2200. CL is $1800 vs H-CL at $2400.

The Ampeg branded tubes with the old school tube clamps is a nice touch. I hadn't realized they added a level control to the DI on the VR models.

Technically I don't need another SVT … but ...

I know how you feel...

Mastermold: I recommend that you view this situation from a NON-technical perspective!

How do they consider channel 2 the “‘75 Magnavox” style channel without a mid control?
Sounds like marketing hype, it must work, because I want one.

So this is actually really made in the U.S.A., WOW!!!! There's is a GOD after all!!!!

Apparently you can now order a heritage cab with an AV grill also, for those that need/want to order the complete rig.

I just looked at the sweetwater listing for this amp and from what the rear panel pic's are showing it looks like this SVT is designed & assembled in the U.S.A. not 100% made in the U.S. BUMMER!!!! Oh Well!!!! it will still be a serious kick-ass amp.
