nash Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 can you run it at 8ohms safely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The CL? Ampeg says no. Which was in fact a recent deciding factor against me getting it. I think all the other SVTs are fine at 8ohms though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you just faced the 2x10 at your drummer or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjamm Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 To contradict the above... I've run my SVT II at 8 ohms without any problems or loss of tone. It still works and sounds great! No damage has been caused, nor anything dodgy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I was supposed to just be referring just to the CL in my post, If thats not what i said, thats what i meant to say!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've run my SVT-CL with a single 8ohm cab in the past but I didn’t run it at high levels as i didn’t really know if it would have been causing any damage. I’d definitely not recommend running it with an 8ohm cab at high levels for a prolonged period of time, or in other words, for a gig. Changing those power valves can be very expensive :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
