Used SVT Pro's availability

[grimjim]

Got away from the 4pro,mostly because of the weight. No issues with the amp really. I did like the sound of a 4 pro through two 8x10's though.

Which is the PRO model that had the preamp that sort of resembled the Billy Sheehan SVP-BSP preamp?

None I think....

I just looked it up, it was the short-lived 5PRO.

• Separate and blendable overdrive channel
• Built-in compression
• Built-in sub-octave effect
• 3 preamp outputs for Clean, OD, and Blend
• Bi-amp capable power section

Looks like quite the complicated amp.

That's the 5 Pro. I occasionally see them available as well on Craigslist for decent prices.

5 Pro.

5 Pro.

Nice! There's one on Reverb right now for what works out to about $1000 CAD. Too rich for my blood.
How do you like it @LeftyD ?

 

[LeftyD]

Really like the 5 pro. Lots of power and flexibility.
Easier to bi-amp. Just push a button.
Don't really use the overdrive channel much.
Always wanted a 4 pro when the 5 pro caught my eye.
Got the 4 pro last month. Love the used market.

Very true! I come I didn't even think about it!?

Great amp. I miss it a little.

 

[Fair Warning]

Does the 5-Pro use a similar Mono/BiAmp Speaker Cable that is wired special?

 

[LeftyD]

It's the cable for using the amp in the mono-bridged mode that has to be wired special.
Bi-amp is a push button on the back panel.
