Quilly Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 I had a Bugera BVV3000 (SVT clone) a long time ago and I couldn’t fault it . Sounded massive, rock solid and as cheap as chips Quote

Weighed a ton mind , 36kg or something used a ton of valves. Sounded great, really warm , clean sounding amp. Tons of bottom end. It had 6x6550s as I recall and a self bias function. I didn’t have it long . Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Slightly OT but I know someone who had an SVT, stored it sideways and a transformer came off its mounts and dropped through £%&&£% worth of expensive valves... Quote

They’re actually crazy heavy . I mean ridiculously heavy . If they were being used in a building site the HSA would insist you use a hoist to move it...I’m not exaggerating Edited January 24, 2020 by Quilly 1 Quote

thodrik Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Just trying it out, I definitely believe that the blue LED really adds greater presence to the mids compared to the standard red filament bulb... Edited February 22, 2020 by thodrik 1 1 Quote

Thanks fellas. Anyone else out there rocking a Veyron T at the moment? yep, I will admit that it went back to Thomann (and back to Bugera) for a new main power board, as it was cutting out occasionally at high input levels but they fixed under warranty without quibble and it has been faultless since. I use mine on an upright bass with a K&K rockabilly pickup and preamp setup, previously through a Hartke 410 hydrive but now mainly through an elbee 210. it moves some serious air! 2 Quote
BassmanPaul Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 It's just a bit of fluff circuitry that can go wrong and possibly cause some problem down the road. Quote
