So thanks to @Beedster & @chris_b I averted disaster recently in deciding NOT to sell my SVT II Pro

Suggestion made by @Beedster to start up a thread dedicated to owners of this beast of an amplifier so here we are!

Let’s make this the SVT II knowledge shop?!

Let’s hear about your experiences with this amp?

Show us your rigs?!
What cabs do you use?

Did you change valves? What were your thoughts?

Amp settings?

How do you transport such a lump?

What problems (if any) have you had? 
Any thoughts / comments / experiences you have had with this head are more than welcome....

 

Ill kick this off with one “issue” I have....

I’ve seen a lot to suggest that this amp should be cased / racked, which makes a lot of sense but when I bought the amp I was advised NOT to case / rack it. The reason being that with the vents on the sides, most racks / cases won’t have suitable ventilation to prevent overheating and then failure / damage.

Anyone have any thoughts / experience with this?!

Mine is cased, but in a vented case. It does need a new one, this case has taken a fair hammering over the years and the racking inside is broken, but its so heavy it doesn't really shift..
