mumra 0 Posted July 12, 2014 Hallo to all.I have an ampeg svt4pro head and i find here in greece a guy that wants to trade it with an svt 2 pro. What is your opinion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
molan 125 Posted July 12, 2014 Personally I much prefer the 2 to the 4 but the 2 is a heavy beast. Need to check that the valves are in very good condition because a complete re-valve on a 2 can be big money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mumra 0 Posted July 12, 2014 OK.Thanks.I like the 4 pro (except that i cant get the watts that can give) Someday i would like to have an all tube amp and i am an Ampeg fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mumra 0 Posted July 14, 2014 noone else.the guy said that he put off the "springs " that hold the tubes cause this springs may broke the tubes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave74200 26 Posted July 14, 2014 The 2 pro is better than the 4 IMO but it's ludicrously heavy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can find out how well that 2 pro has been taken care of.If it's been serviced lately I wouldn't hesitate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy Apple 618 Posted July 15, 2014 The springs on the valve retainers should not break the valves. I have a Pro II and would not want to swap it despite the weight. His sound's like a lemon and maybe that's why he's trying to off-load it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike257 62 Posted July 15, 2014 A bassist I tech for had no end of reliability issues with his SVT2s, old and new ones. After some coaxing from me and borrowing my lightweight head for a few shows he decided a change was in order. He's ended up going Aguilar and doesn't miss the SVT one bit. If your SVT4 is solid and reliable I don't think i'd risk a trade for an amp of unknown history that could be really expensive to maintain if you have problems with it.

mumra 0 Posted July 16, 2014 thanks to all.I decide not to trade it cause I dont know the history of the amp. Ill stay with my svt 4 pro and 410 HE cab. Now the only i ll try to find is an aria pro ii sb black n gold bass Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
