Ampeg SVT 7 Pro arriving tomorrow !!!!

#41
Well, I did 2 gigs this past weekend with the Ampeg SVT 7 Pro. I'll say this, I like the amp a lot! In 2 seconds I had a sound I was very happy with. If you like the Ampeg sound, this amplifier doesn't disappoint. The gain can be turned up to get nice bit of "crunch". Even more gain gets you fuzz bass heaven! Back the gain down and this baby is clean and loud.

This is the first class D bass amplifier where I was able to get the sound I wanted and the power to go along with it. The class D is buttery smooth and feels more like an all tube amp than a hybrid to me.

There are getting to be more "lightweight" amps out there, but before buy anything I'd suggest you test drive the SVT 7 Pro. I tried 4 other class D babies, and this is the one that sounds the best to me.

... so I'll report back after using the SVT-7Pro "live". Everything sounds good to me in a room by myself. Time and experience have taught me that the only way to really audition any equipment is by using it at a gig !!!!!

That's what I like to hear.

Good to hear that this 7-Pro is getting good reviews, and hopefully we'll see Ampeg regain it's reputation based on solid "legacy" performance alongside new and innovative products. I'm curious to see what fate has in store for the 2, 3, and 4 Pro series in the coming year...

I've owned/auditioned LM800 Tube, Acoustic Image, Little Mark II, GB Shuttle 6.0, SD800, Peavey Kilobass, Peavey Databass.

All great amplifiers!!! I play in a cover band that requires me to play fingerstyle, pick, and slap. To me and my ears, the Ampeg SVT 7 Pro is the best choice to sound great for all the different playing styles I have to use.
