SWR working pro 700

[AlpherMako4]

Hi, has anyone played through one of these. Just wondering what they're like. I have the SM500 at the moment, which is lovely..........................

I have one as my back up right now, played it for a year as my main amp.
Do you have any specific questions about it?

I had one before my SVT, lovely bit of kit, very rugged and a BIG meaty tone especially with the bass boost or whatever it was called (enhancer?)
Quite heavy (mine was in a rack case).
Doubt it was a class D...

I think I fancy having one.

TBH i don't think it will be much of an improvement on what you already have. I only found a massive difference when moving from solid state over to the dark side..........valves...

Peacock - step away from the classifieds...!

You have a perfectly good rig. I seriously don't think that a Working Pro 700 will be as good as your SM500, which is as good a set-up as anyone needs. Forget about the GAS and concentrate on your bass playing, drumming, promoting, etc... ;-)

i have owned both and personally preferred it over the sm500, i had the 700 first but when i got the 500 i didnt think it added anything so i moved it on.
