NPD - Ampeg SVP Pro

[sammybee]

Aquired this a couple of days ago, and have just set this up.

Globs of heavy ampeg tone from a little 1u Rack. There is so much variation available from this thing. Buzzes a bit though.

I have it set up as a front end for my MOTU 8pre via ADAT into a MOTU 828mk2. Proper bass sound!

If the buzzing/humming becomes an issue for you, get one of these:

It's not so much of an electrical buzz, more of a buzz through the chasis

What, you mean the unit is making a physical noise that's not coming from the output?

Yep, it's a physical buzz. Don't notice it when its cranked up, but when it's silent there's a definite vibration.

The transformer's the most likely culprit. Sadly it's just supported by the PCB, not screwed to the chassis.

I love mine, despite its hisses and buzzes. It's too old to gig now as the board is starting to fail but it's given me many a happy hour of bass over the years.
