Ampeg SVT-200T

Combo 410 or head all transistors
200 watts rms @ 8 ohms, 350 watts rms @ 4 ohms
Input: jack x 2 (0 & db - 15db) output: jack x 2
gain, 6 band eq, volume, bi-amp, line out
the pattern is marked 1987, large transistor amplifier made in usa absolutely silent, fanless
Preamp circuit 1458 texas instrument x 8 (easily upgradeable)
amp: output transistor 15022 x4 mj & 15023 x4 (very good transistors motorola also used by the peavey tnt 130 150 160 and 400 amp sound cs cs 800: Amp unbreakable!)
main weakness: power capacitors too small micro 3300 / 80 volt X2
big flaw: the knobs go much beyond the front facade = very fragile and more knobs to the standard con (on the same crate)
Maximum price: do not buy this amp over 500 euro it is more than twenty years, and c is not a tube svt 1969 but it remains a good amplifier next to crap built today in China and given to 500 watts! !

UTILIZATION

Yes there is no simpler
if you put your fingers on the lower right boxes it sounds

SOUNDS

Yes c is an ampeg
No matter
what we want to simply have ears

OVERALL OPINION

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
a bit heavy to carry

Amp transistors that the great era of high-end component 200w into 8 ohms and 320 W into 4 ohms (real watts)
For HPs were 4x10 that shake the walls.
- Connectivity:
Jack 2 a 0 1 to 15 db
2 hp output jack
DI output in post or pre preamp and XLR jack with level of Knob
1 preamp output power amp
A direct input in the amp to connect another preamp
1 input 2 output jack for the crossover
An effects loop with send and return jacks as
Settings: gain equalization six rotary pots 4 in the first 2-62Hz and pulling the second low hultra the troisème 125Hz 300Hz 400Hz pulling the fourth 600hz pulling 850Hz 1.7 kHz fifth-sixth 4kHz pulling ultra hight
Then the master 2-position by pulling the limiter operates.
after the 2 pots Crossover
and finally the volume pot output level line out.
A special mention for a heavy-duty construction and a rock-solid.

UTILIZATION

The settings are simple and effective immediately have obtained a clear and warm, the standard Ampeg. The manual I have not had, so no comment but I do not need.

SOUNDS

It is very suitable for all styles of music with a sound that is both broad and powerful. I think hi-fi sound but very safe especially with a second baffle 38 (JBL E 140). I play with a Squier Precision Bass Special 4c equipped with a second type micro jazz bass. I like the sounds warm and clear I am happy with this combo. I hate to sound cold and nazillard as a megaphone.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month. I tried several models before. I also have a Trace Elliot three bodies. What I like most is his strong side reliably with a warm and powerful. the only thing I reproach him is that he is even better with the added Bafil 38. At value for money is a bit expensive but the Ampeg and Costeau, plus it's very rare now a product with an excellent reputation and high reliability. So you only live once ...
