Just picked up an SVT from GC...

[Eidolon0274]

From the serial (and dorky logo) it appears to be a 1999.Biased to two green lights, loaded with fresh ruby rubes and is too clean for its own good. $900. How did I do?

 

[Bass 45]

Sounds like a good deal.

Now put a piece of black tape over the goofy logo

 

[sharkbait130]

Yer gonna love it.....and no one can hear the logo.... keep it. Gotta 8 10 to go with it?

Do not turn this thing on without it being hooked up to a speaker cab matched to the ohm switch on the back.
(2 or 4 ohms)

Looks really clean for only 9 bills! Good job.

 

[JimmyM]

Call me crazy but I love that dorky logo and was bummed when they dropped it

 

[subbasshz]

now buy 2 810s and experience heaven on earth

now buy 2 810s and experience heaven on earth

Surely that would be due to the crushing volume causing heaven to come crashing down to our level!

I originally saw the photos on my phone - I just saw them on my computer - that 15 year old amp looks like new.

Guitar Center has an SVT412HE on their website (that I have been trying to keep myself from purchasing) for $249. That would probably be a stellar companion to that GC head (if the cab is working well).

Having grown up in the 90's I love the logo too. When I was side by siding some heads the wife referred to it as "that computer from the 80's that sounds like an aircraft carrier"

Absolutely nothing dorky about any of the logos on the mighty SVT. Play this amp with pride!!

You did great brother...I got a 2006 SVT Cl from GC too a while back and did the same thing you did, put a fresh set of tubes in..plus..like mine..its made in the USA..St Louis...awesome.

 

[SirMjac28]

Nice job and mark my words years from now people will be paying a premium to get an SVT with that logo.

 

[redhed]

Man, that is NICE!

 

[Bassmec]

Nice one! Looks like it's never been gigged.

 

[Eidolon0274]

It does this quiet static fizz sound for about 3 seconds when I switch the standby off intermittently, some little tube amp noises here and there at massive volume and the -15 pad input needed to be cleaned out a bit but otherwise I think it just needs to be broken in with the new tubes. Bias lights are green. When I start to compare it to my SS heads I stop and try to remember this is the 1985 F350 of amp heads and it will have its quirks

 

[lfmn16]

Nothing quite as sweet as and SVT head and 8X10 cabinet.

 

[marko138]

Man that is awesome.

 

[tmw]

Nice score!

 

[GBassNorth]

Looks like a good deal to me! Now pair that beast up with a Bergantino NV610 cab and stand back baby!

 

[mistergoats]

Dang, that's a great score. My '94 was $1200 and it's, well, let's call it "seen some action".

Classic logo:

Once you put it on an 810, everyone's too busy with the thunder to notice...
