Do a search in this amps forum. Lots of info.
I've got one & love it.
Powerful, punchy Ampeg tone & 15lbs! Great amp
Make sure you get a 'rev 00C' model

JimmyM might have some insight on this....I'd wait for a wink & a nod from him. Countdown continues....
Sounds the most like my svt2 then any of the other ampegs I have tried. I liked what I heard out of it .
Most people who have them seem to like them.
But there is a yet to be unexplained problem with the limiter that may be lowering the output watts on some of the latest revisions of the amp.
How long is time out anyway, like Valentine's Day + 30? Geez, you'd think one would have a little something better to do around that time of year, like get a little..........

I tried one recently and was excited to try it. Wasn't my thing - I didn't care for the PF500 either and I really wanted to. The tone was okay, but lacked a certain richness and depth (to my ears anyway)
I must confess that all the "controversy" surrounding the 7Pro put me off getting one - I just did not want to take the gamble that I might get a dud one.
Yeah, I thought that too Tim, But getting a REC-00C somehow it all just "felt" right, & luckily- has been!
'Tis a monster of an amp! Pushed it with 2x8ohm 410's & OMG- SO loud. & has a REAL lotta what the tube SVT's have. Lotsa heft behind each note & is also very versatile.
I've used mine successfully with upright & elec.
Also- works WELL with EVERY cab I've tried it with. UNLIKE another popular Hybrid Class D

I got a new one. Rev C, apparently. Love it.
I didn't even consider the possibility of getting a 'dud'. Even if I did, there's a 5 year warranty. I don't measure watts, nor do I run a scope when I play. Much ado about nothing IMHO. It passes my ears-test and that's the only one that matters It's been a great amp for me and I highly recommend it!

I just got one recently and it sounds great. It replaced my hartke lh1000 that decided to take a crap out of me. i will say it's not as loud as I expected. We played a gig at a place last saturday that we played in november. I had my hartke on 3, and I had to put the svt 7 half way up to get the same volume. It's really light and sounds great though, and i like mine a lot.
