buff Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Have a chance of a early svt classic head , any thought's on these (hopefully a better amp than my pf500) Edited January 21, 2012 by buff Quote
buff Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 Mmmm tough question lol, weighs a bloody ton. Bit stumped about a liightweight cab other than a super 12 or a GK 212. Quote
Lozz196 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 The SVT is a great amp, but, virtually the same sound can be obtained with your PF500 by using a DHA (Dave Hall Amps) VT1 pedal. It warms up the sound to that classic "just breaking up" sound that valve Ampegs such as the SVT have. I had this set-up for a while, and it was very authentic, but without the backache. In this setup were a Barefaced Compact & Midget, and have to say, they are very good at putting out what you put in - so if Ampeg sound goes in, it comes out uncoloured. The buzz about the Super 12 seems very good at the minute, so worth checking out. Quote
buff Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 The PF has gone back to loud Lozz, have the chance of the svt at a price that's worth having to carry it. Quote
chrismuzz Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I say go for it too... You shouldn't have trouble shifting it again in the unlikely event that you dislike it Quote
lovetheblues Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 So what's wrong with the PF500 then? Didn't like the sound or had the cutting out problem? Quote

buff Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Its a bit of a story, i'll explain it tomorrow. When ive some time Quote

Don't personally like svt's that much but thats maybe because i've had to service some of them Quote
