Annoyingly I was in Godalming last Wednesday, I'll get my man to look at it because I think it's just a dry joint and it's on a jack output and when the new cab turns up I'll only be using the speakon output, if it is something serious (fingers crossed) I'll take it to your man.

Cheers buddy, one of the speaker outputs is a little iffy, no biggy but I'm not using it till it's sorted so it's off to the tech tomorrow, going to check the valves are balanced while it's there too. The sound when it was on was incredible though.

Re smaller gigs, as you like the Ampeg sound, unless you specifically want a different sound for the smaller gigs, may be worth checking out the Ampeg PF500 - currently £299 at Andertons. Really happy with mine, just used it for both gigging and recording in the last week, was great for both.[/quote] I have heard really good things but I have so much Ampeg stuff it'd be nice to have a little variety (it is the spice of life). £299 is ridiculous.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='1275111' date='Jun 19 2011, 07:07 PM']Good aren't they? I had an SVT II non pro, beast. The drive knob is very useful. I'd like one again but they are too heavy. Did you score the GK cab?[/quote] I did indeed. I think one of the outputs has a little problem, it cuts in and out I don't think it's major but I'm gonna take it to the tech tomorrow and leave it alone tonight to stop any damage I had a taste of heaven........... I'm in the process of buying an Orange Bass Terror for the smaller gigs, I think it's a ridiculous for pub gigs.

Just went down and picked up an Ampeg SVT 2 Pro and oh my f***ing god the sound is incredible, going to get it serviced but so so happy.

Nevertheless, wouldn't just the tiniest bit of market research have revealed that the name is not necessarily a desirable one?[/quote] It's the most ridiculous thing I've seen, I posted it on FB and got this comment: "Why do luthiers have to show off with this kind of nonsense instead of making half-decent, playable, affordable instruments?" Spot on.

New amp

I never have the tuner in the signal chain.

Build diarys would be good.

Sorry to be a noob, what do I do when I get it home before I start playing through it?

I'll be in on Tuesday.

Can I just make sure that 2 X 200W 8OHM cabs will be fine using it in 4 OHM mode?

Picking it up tomorrow.
