I need experienced input: Ampeg super rig

[Warpeg]

I have in my position an Ampeg SVT 2 Pro, SVT 4 Pro, SVT 810E, and an SVT 610HLF. I'm wanting to run my SansAmp Bass Driver DI as a preamp into the SVT 2 Pro to power the 810E, use the slave out to go to the SVT 4 Pro's "power amp in", and power the 610HLF with the SVT 4 Pro. I realize that this kind of rig would only need to be used for very large gigs, but can anyone see any issues with running this rig? The 810E is a sealed cab. The 610HLF is a ported cab. Any problems there? Should I switch the heads around so that the SVT 2 Pro powers the 610HLF and the SVT 4 Pro powers the 810E?

I've got two Gator 4-space G-Shock racks on the way for these heads. When they come in I will show pics of the whole rig.

I see no problems with what your doing.
As far as feeling guilty owning such a monster rig,don't.
There is nothing wrong with having fun with amps.
They do have volume controlls so you could even use this in a coffie house job.
Enjoy them and have fun with them.

I cant think of any reason this setup wouldn't work fine.

You could also try (Y-cord) splitting the Sansamp output (or using its unaffected/XLR output)
to drive the normal, front input of the SVT-4 rig so you would retain the ability of
EQing your ported cab differently.

You could also try an A/Y/B pedal between your BDDI and the
front inputs, or just running both cabs off of your SVT-IIpro.

Here's the my complete dream Ampeg rig. Every piece of Ampeg here is American-made.

1. SVT 2 Pro
2. SVT 4 Pro
3. SVT 810E
4. SVT 610HLF
5. Furman power conditioner
6. Monster Cable speaker cables
7. Gator G-Shock 4-space racks (x2)

Woah! That's impressive. Planning on any heavy demolition soon with that thing?

 

[Ryan L.]

Oh wow. I should be able to hear that thing here.

 

[Warpeg]

I think I'll give it a good pushin' in Cleveland on the 26th. Maybe the drummer and guitarists will be able to hear their rigs...probably not.

 

[alfredpunkjazz]

That looks killer... literaly! LOL

Awesome.

Sounds like a good Plan. IME keep the tube amp into the 810 & 4PRO into 610HLF.

I agree. I think I want to keep the solid state sound with the tweetered-cab and the tubes with the sealed sound.

Kind of off topic, but I was wondering. On the SVT-II, when the Graphic EQ is activated, does that disingage the original 'knobbed' EQ? Or does it continue running it? I just think it would come in handy being able to set up a standard tone with the Graphic, and then have a different EQ already set up and waiting for you when you switch basses, or just want a different sound for a song or two.

P.S.
That rig is SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Warpeg]

I'll have to check on that. I usually use my BDDI as a preamp and then just use the SVT 2 Pro as a power amp--never used the EQ.

I'd be very grateful.

im tempted to kill u and take your amps!

Uh...thanks?...I think.

They'll probably be some FOH engineers that'll want to take care of that for you ; }

LOL. Why be in the PA mix if you're louder than the PA? Just kidding. I'll keep the volume at a reasonable level...for a little while.

 

[brothernewt]

you could just use the SVT-II pro to power both cabs and leave the 4 at home... that's what I'd do.

 

[rodl2005]

Me too, most likely!

 

[Uziel]

what about using the 2 outputs of your sansamp ?
the affected one into your 2pro input
the parallele one into your 4 pro input ?
