Using an SVT this weekend - suggestions?

Sorry for the delay. My whole family got the stomach flu, and hit hit me late Sunday night . . . after the gig.
It was an outdoor gig, and when I got there, it was a brand-spankin' new SVT that had been rented. The guy was implying that he had been using them since the '70's.
I made sure the high and low switches were off, plugged in, set it flat, and turned it up. It sounded great. Not as much punch as my rig, but there were a couple of times I was digging in and it got a little dirty. I liked that.
Gig went great. Thanks for the help. And thanks for the compliments on the tune.

I used SVT's for years next to my Marshalls and Hiwatts. I like the V4B a whole lot better or it's little brother the B-25. I sold my SVTs last year and don't regret it for a min.
