Hi fellow Low Enders ! I'm wondering if any of you chaps would like to trade your Aguilar DB680 for my SVT-2Pro ? I have done extensive work to the SVT - Recapped with 105 deg C high quality capacitors through the HT section, tube amp doctor caps / audio grade Panasonic caps in signal path, Replaced all crappy plastic valve sockets ( these always go capacitive) for high quality ceramic and gold types in all pre, driver and output stage positions. Replaced the standby relay for new, ( even when the relay works, after time the contact oxidise and cause all sorts of problems), Cleaned all switches, faders, pots and sockets, And a full new set of valves from Derek at Watford Valves. Biased up perfectly. I'll upload the pics so you can see for yourselves ! Best, Steve.

Found it. Bias pot 1 has a hairline crack where the PCB legs meet the pot. The magic chopstick method works once again.

I've got exactly the same issue with mine. Re-capped with long life high temp electrolytics, whole new set of valves too. The problem is in the driver / power amp stage ( narrowed down with the ol' send/rtn trick) Anyone else here with the same problem ?

Hi Rageingtelephone, Did you ever get to the bottom of this ? Steve

Would you consider splitting the rig ? I'm after a Big Ben !! Steve

Hi fellow Bassnuts, Just wondering if any of you have a SWR Big Ben cab for sale or trade ? Steve.
