All valve Ampegs

Have the SVT4 Pro and its pretty impressive. Love the tone. Tried the SVT 2 in various studios and found them a bit too muddy for me but that's just a personal preference. The variation available for tonal adjustment is quite impressive when you include the graphic and footswitch.

I adore 'that' sound!
Love my SVT-CL to bits. Tried everything else and nothing sounds as nice as a big Ampeg valve sound. I love the sound of my Marshall VBA 400 too, but the SVT just seems to have a touch more oomph - don't know why.
I have played a couple of SVT 2's and a 2PRO at various shared stages over the years and they sounded immense!
I agree, everyone should own an Ampeg valve amp at some point (until their back gives out anyway!)

I owned both the 2Pro and the older "II" model. The II is definitely one of the best amps around for sure. They have a few limitations (impedances, weight) but of course they have such an organic, warm sound that I really doubt you could get with a lightweight amp. At least for now. I've read very good things about the tone of the SVT7 (resembling a tube amp) but in real life, the dynamics of a tube power section are hard to emulate.
