I have an SWR750x and it is a POS. I have had it 8months and it has been in the shop twice as the input jack keeps shorting out. This causes the effects to turn on and then they short out. I think the problem is a shoddy design. I asked the helpful gents at Fender for help and they have yet to respond. Great Customer service!!!!! When the thing works, it kicks ass but it cannot be depended on. Once it gets back from the factory authorized sevice center I am dumping it like a boat anchor and getting a real amp that works (prob Mesa Boogie Bass 400).

swr 750x pos

My SWR750 was a total POS too. Although it never broke down or needed any repairs...
When I unloaded mine, I went with a 400+ and thought it sounded way-way better.

I played thru a 750x at a store last week. It's going into an Ampeg 8x10. You have to turn the gains up all the way to get the same volume as a Hartke HA3500 hooked to an 8x10, turned up only halfway. So while it sounds good** I'd steer clear of owning one; I'd be afraid of the limiter kicking in during a set and the bass dropping off the chart.
**The subharmonic circuit sounds beautiful.
