Tornitdoon! Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Good day Ladies and Gents! For sale, my Ampeg SVT 5 Pro bass head complete with Ampeg footswitch. Amp is in superb condition, as has always been well looked after and has been racked in my heavy duty Gator flightcase. Amp is in full working order. Selling due to having bought a new SVT VR. £670 OVNO Please see below, some further detail which i "obtained" from the Ampeg website . The SVT-5 PRO is from (as the name implies!) Ampeg's Pro-Series line of bass amplification and is geared towards the rock and funk bass player. The SVT-5 PRO features two separate channels, clean and overdrive, giving the user the ability to switch from channel to channel, or combine the two channels via the four button footswitch. A 12AX7 tube located at the input stage of the preamp, adds warmth and fullness to the input signal enhancing the overall tone of the amplifier. Two separate power amplifiers are contained within the SVT-5 PRO, delivering 600 watts in stereo or a massive 1350 watts in the mono-bridged mode. The tone shaping possibilities the SVT-5 PRO offers are very extensive with features such as, a built-in compressor, variable midrange selector control, and an octave circuit that adds a note one octave lower to the note being played. The back panel offers many patching possibilities for the user to choose from; a tuner out jack, effects loops for the clean and overdrive channels, preamp out jacks for the clean and overdrive channels, preamp out jack for the octave circuit, transformer balanced XLR line outs, and power amp in jacks for connecting an external preamp to either or both channels. Durable and long lasting locking Neutrik Speakon jacks are used for the speaker output jacks ensuring a strong and trouble free signal. Features Overiew In the world of high performance bass amps, Ampeg amplifiers stand alone. In true Ampeg tradition, the SVT-5 PRO offers more power, performance and flexibility than any other bass amplifier in its class. The outstanding features which set your new amplifier apart from the competition are listed below. • 15dB PAD SWITCH: Use this to accommodate the input signal from an instrument with active electronics or very “hot” pickups • MUTE SWITCH: Silences the output signal from the amplifier, allowing you to tune in private • TWO SEPARATE CHANNELS: Choose between the clean channel, the overdrive channel, or both combined, for the widest variety of sounds possible • COMPRESSOR SWITCH: Controls the dynamic range of the preamp, to even out your volume level • ULTRA LOW, ULTRA HIGH AND GAIN BOOST SWITCHES: For additional tonal flexibility – allows even greater sound control • VARIABLE MIDRANGE SELECTOR: Custom select the center frequency point for the midrange control for just the right “voice” • GATE SWITCH: Keeps things quiet in between riffs • FOOTSWITCH JACKS: Two jacks allow footswitch control of channel selection/channel combine and octave/mute • TWO EFFECTS LOOPS: Allow you to add effects to both channels • THREE PREAMP OUTPUTS: One for each channel, plus one for the octave signal • TRANSFORMER-BALANCED XLR OUTPUTS: For connection to a recording console, PA system or external amplifier • DUAL SEPARATE POWER AMPLIFIERS: For operation in true stereo or mono bridge mode for maximum power • BIAMP CAPABILITIES: Low and high output jacks, crossover frequency control, and low to high balance • TUNER OUT JACK: Allows use of an electronic tuner - active even when the amplifier is muted • POWER AMP IN JACKS: Allow you to connect a preamp signal to either or both internal amplifiers • CIRCUIT BREAKER PROTECTION: Provides protection against fault conditions • OCTAVE CIRCUIT: Adds a signal to the input signal that is one octave lower than the original • HEAVY DUTY SPEAKER JACKS: Speakon® jacks are provided for both channels and for mono bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
