Well, I've sent out a handful of PM's and a couple of e-mails....still waiting on responses. In the meantime, let me throw a description your way. I'm hoping somebody will chime in with "hey....that happened to mine and this how we fixed it" sort of deal.

I received my used but new-to-me SVP-CL Wed. evening via FedEx. I racked the unit and fiddled with it for an hour or so. Everything worked pefectly....gain, mute, bright switches, EQ, etc. I powered her up Thurs. evening and something strange occurred: the mute / peak LED remained lit and there was no sound / output whatsoever. For those not familar with the layout or function, the peak LED should only light when the mute switch is engaged or blink momentarily when the gain threshold has been crossed. There was no instrument connected and the mute switch was in the "out" position so I'm kinda perplexed.

If you can provide any guidance, please do so!

Edit / Follow-up: Okay, I think I'm on to something. Out of sheer desperation, I tapped gently on the preamp's chassis just below the mute / peak LED and *viola* the LED extinguished itself. The LED re-illuminated with a minute or so but, once again, a gentle tap set things right. Looks like I'm dealing with a compromised switch or a faulty solder joint, don't ya think?

Thanks

A happy ending to a frustrating situation....

Turns out I have questionable rear-mounted mute jack / switch which was easily addressed by inserting a 1/4" cable with a Boss latching foot pedal. Works perfectly. Dave Murray also zapped me the full SVP-CL schematics so if I can ever share, please let me know.

Cool rig :bassist: I've got the same cab :smug:

I think I have the same 8 space rack as you as well, that must be pretty heavy?

Thanks! Yeah i love the sound i get from that cab!

Mine is actually a 6unit rack. Ive got the korg dtr2000 at the top and a powerconditioner under that. I was thinking of getting a rack compressor for it, but ive since decided against that, so i dont know what ill do with the extra rack space! But still, its pretty hefty alright!
