I am selling a used Ampeg SVP-CL preamp that I bought on eBay on 9-29-11 because shortly thereafter, I came across and bought a new old stock, still in the box SVP-CL (and I dont need two of them). I am asking $450 for it, including shipping via UPS and insurance to one of the 48 continental states. (PayPal only.) I paid $473 ($455 plus $18 shipping and insurance) for it to fastcashgoldcenters (the eBay seller) out of Denver, Colorado. They may be able to answer questions about its history, but as far as I can tell, the preamp is in pretty good shape: 1) the knobs for the two 5-way selector switches were a bit worn so I bought two brand new replacement knobs from Ampeg and changed them out (I am pretty anal about my equipment); 2) one screw is missing from the top cover (which indicates to me that the tubes were probably changed at one point); and 3) I cleaned off the blue ink pen marks where the prior owner marked their favorite settings. The pictures here are from the eBay listing. I have played thru the preamp about 4 times and it sounds great -- nice, warm Ampeg tone (clean, not distorted, although I am planning to experiment with other tubes). If you are interested, please send me a private message. Thank you. -- David Daniel.
