Dave D Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Just wondered if anybody else has had, or heard of, Ampeg SVT7's cutting out. It doesn't seem to happen often actually. At the 4 gigs i've used it at, its been fine, but at rehearsal it has cut out. Only for a few seconds, but annoying to say the least. I've tried different settings, but it still happens. I've been careful that the pre-amp is overdriven, by making sure that the clip light doesnt come on. Any ideas?? Quote
Lozz196 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Have a look at Talkbass for this - there seems to be a fair bit of info re Ampeg issues over there, and it seems that these issues have happened with early batches of the respective models. Quote
burno70 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Lozz is spot on. I've been considering buying one of these. I remember reading that the re-issue's had solved this problem. They had a C before the serial number IIRC. Best check out TB rather than trust my not great memory! Quote
Dave D Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Thanks guys. Although Ampeg in the Europe have said they've not heard of the problem before, my retailer have arranged a replacement to be sent as an exchange. Hopefully its an isolated issue and the new one will be ok. Fingers crossed!! DD Quote
