cdcapri Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Time to part with my Ampeg SVT-5PRO head. A bit reluctantly, but I don't need this much power these days for the gigs I do and I need to make some space. I've owned this Amp for a long time ( it's a built in the USA model ), but it hasn't been gigged much in that time. It's fully flight cased and is in excellent condition. I've had it checked over and serviced 2 months ago and they described it as "looking like new inside". They found a bit of play in one of the fans and replaced it. I bought this amp from Cradle of Filth's road manager about 15yrs ago. This amp was their spare, so had travelled around on tour but had never been used. I had it flight cased and it's always been dry stored. The sound quality is superb, please follow the link to Ampeg's own info for the technical specs: https://ampeg.com/pdf/SVT-5PRO.pdf Buyer would need to collect it from me ( I'm in Leeds ) or arrange a courier. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybassdoyle Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Wonderful amp I have many fond memories of these. Not sure I ever really used the overdrive channel on mine, it always sounded awesome though, especially with the ampeg 6x10 This looks to be in ace condition too, great amp for someone Also worth mentioning, whilst it's not a lightweight 'stick it in your gigbag' type amp the extra size and weight is not prohibitive and - imo - well worth it in terms of the sound. Not wanting to start a classD turfwar etc, there just seems to be something that you get from these types of amps that you don't with the lightweight stuff... anyway, glwts before I get myself into trouble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoffbass Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Just reminds me how great sound I got from my good old SVT4 pro before I traded it (with great regret). This might be a silly question, but does the preamp have 3 tubes and the power amp is solid state just like the SVT4 pro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Soar Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Wanna swap for a Techsoundsystems 6x10 XT 2,100 watts @ 5.3 ohmns cab, that weighs 66lbs ? Almost mint condition, I have no transport, so this is not viable for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcapri Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 Thanks for the offer Steve but no swaps, my Mrs says I’ve got too much gear already! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I had one of these. I recall that Tom Araya loved them. The preamp section is similar to the Billy Sheehan model IIrc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My band call it "THE BEAST" and im fairly happy with that nickname 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybassdoyle Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 yeah - these are totally cool - I'm really glad you've been sensible and kept it matey! there is a lot to be said for having the comfort of power to spare!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
