Title of Equipment: Ampeg SVT-III PRO Price Paid / Price New: ~$500/$900 Year Manufactured: Either 2002 or 2003 Specs: Full spec list
Sound: 5/5 I bought this amp sight unseen from a fellow over at the fine forums at Harmony Central. I've been blown away by the results. Paired with my Avatar 2x10 (review to come), this little rig cost me under a grand and sounds awesome. The Ampeg responds very well to the active electronics of my bass (Schecter Stiletto 5-string). My usual tone is a fairly full and deep rock tone, but it's very easy to roll off some highs (or flip on the EQ) and go to nasal-slap-o-rama Equipment Quality: 5/5 Had it racked since I got it and been very gentle to it, but it's not given me a lick of trouble yet. Have not replaced tubes since I got it (used) over a year ago. Usefullness: 5/5 I love this amp and if it were stolen, I would either replace it straight up or look at upgrading to one of Ampeg's all-tube monsters. Honestly, I don't know that I'll ever need a different amp - if anything, I may add another cabinet to get it driving @ 4 ohms, but that's a wase down the road. Overall Value: 5/5 I think this amp was an absolute steal for $500. Compared to some of SWR's stuff, I think it stacks up very very well. For $900, I'm not sure that it's the greatest value, but if you are looking for a new bass head, I would definitely recommend looking around for a used SVT-3. If you have any questions on this monster, just send me a PM
