Ampeg venture v7 vs Ampeg svt-7pro

[RamptonRebel]

Right I’m after a head to stick on my ampeg 810e cab, the venture v7 is new out and has sgt overdrive and a switch for svt or b15 tones, the svt-7pro has no overdrive but has a compressor (I do have a banging flattely bass chief overdrive pedal to use) and is 50-60 quid more expensive, which should I pick? Both heads are 700w and the cab is 800w. They are both solid state amps (I was also looking at the markbass little mark tube 800w hybrid head any thoughts on that one?)

any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The V7 is not available until spring.

The SVT 7 Pro is a hybrid ( it has a tube preamp), whereas the Venture V7 is all solid state.

Venture has a 2-year warranty
SVT-7Pro has a 5-year warranty on electronics, 90 day on tubes of course.

Seems to suggest that Ampeg seems to believe SVT-7Pro is more of a Pro level amp.
