From an era where Ampeg was sold off to Japanese company MTI (Music Technology Inc), these SVT's were only made for 6 years at MTI in Japan however they are almost identical to the US versions that preceded them in the late 70s however utilise a slightly-more-difficult-to obtain 12bh7 preamp valve.
Featuring 4 inputs (bright and normal for each channel). Channel 1 features volume with a 3-band eq (iconic 3-way white rocker-switches for ultra high, midrange freq & ultra low) where as channel 2 features volume and a 2-band eq with rockers for ultra high and low up top.
The big secret though - is to jump channels so you can get maximum crunch!
The same model used by D'Arcy Wretzky (Smashing Pumpkins). THE sound of grunge!
Made in Japan.
240v (AU Plug). Cabinet not included. A seriously heavy head.
