I have been given the opportunity to get a new tube head There are two options I have found locally. The SVT-II is a bit less expensive than the SVT-2 Pro. They are both 300 watts tube, but what are the major differences? Do they sound the same? The guy with the SVT-II lives an hour and a half away, so its kinda hard to go try it out.
Here's a discussion of the differences. I've got three SVT-II (non pro), and use them every week. http://www.ampeg.com/newforum/viewtopic.php?t=830&highlight=svtii+pro+differences
yet nobody replied when i posted this! Pro has more things to change But the SVT II sounds better compaired (going by what im told), it has the same preamp arrangment as the original SVT's
