  1. Hi Pete, mine doesn't have stacked pots, I'll have to check the switch tonight when I get home.

    I'm not sure what protective layer you mean on the spare Pete, do you mean the layer on the tape? The PCB inside is brown I think, but I'll check. The one that's in the bass is potted I think.

    I do have the diagram you have above, and also this one where only pin 7 is left free... :unsure:

    Probably my only regret of late would be trading my black / maple Sadowsky M4 to Karlfer a few Christmases ago...

    Don't get me wrong, the Fender AVRI '75 is killer, but I do still miss that black beauty!

    Was an absolute steal in Guitar Guitar in Glasgow as well for only £999.00...!!

    I have your Sadowsky now, she's a beaut. I doubt I'll ever sell her but if I do I'll let you know first...


    My biggest regret was selling my Ampeg Skunkworks when I was skint a few years ago :(

  3. I have a SB1000 (1984) and it came with a spare circuit in the hardcase.

    Is there anyone here who can identify which if either are original?

    I'll take some photos tonight if you think you could possibly help, it just doesn't have as much punch as I was expecting, it has brand new batteries so I'm wondering if it's the circuit.

    Think AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Sabbath, Kiss, George Thorogood, ZZ Top.

  5. A few years ago I was using all Ampeg. SVT HD with an 810 cab, plus I had a BA500 for tiny gigs, ones with too many stairs, or car parking at the other end of town. Slimmed that down to a 4x10 for ease.

    I got all caught up in the tech rush and sold the lot. I bought myself a Barefaced Super 12T, which I still love, but not so lucky with the amps. I first bought a Genz Benz Shuttle. It was the most disgusting nauseating whine of amp I've ever had the displeasure to own. Utter crap, packed up within 3 weeks and had to go back to manufacturer to fix. It had absolutely no soul, no grunt, and sounded like a super clean hifi signal. I sold that on ebay straight away and regretted selling my SVT instantly.

    I then bought a GK1001RB-ii, heavy-ish but sounding good again. Traded up for a GK 2001RB, heavier again in sound and physical weight and now I'm itching to get the SVT again.

    There's a reason we all carried round super heavy amps for so many years. Its because they sounded amazing. If I played jazz or did gentle 2-piece shows maybe I wouldn't be so affected by the change, but nothing rocks the stage like an SVT and an 810.
