The Pro 4 is one amazing Amp, it's the last Amp you'll ever need, I have read reviews about over heating, they way to beat that is, don't put them in a rack case while playing, use the rack case for transportation reasons only, this thing is loud, I don't t run my mono bridged, I run it thru an 8/10 at four ohems. I love this rig, five stars up!!

Everything I was hoping for

I've always wanted this head. I also got the heritage 8x10 with it. I was not disappointed at all. I'm mainly a rock/metal drummer, but have been playing more and more bass over the last 20 years. Many I have played with over the years, as well as a good friend have owned this head and it has always sounded great. As with the mentioned fridge I got with it, I also use A 2x10/1x15 for more mobile applications. I play 5-string and after getting a few settings down, this thing is awesome. I've found nice warm lows, some nice and bright mids for slap, and really haven't had to do much with the highs...the eq on the bass keeps them from being overbearing.
As far as the amp controls go, everything is very functional stand alone. I like having the graphic eq on here, although I only use it for anything now and then. The bright switch and crossover are decent, although there again, don't need to use them much. Only thing I haven't spent much time with is the compressor. My friend used his a bit and said it was just ok, but I have settings through a preamp already so for the most part everything is fairly flat.
Im by no means a bass "guru", but I'm happy I finally broke down and got this thing!

I’ve used the Ampeg SVT - 4 PRO for about ten years now and it never disappoints! The amp sounds amazing. You can dial in just about any bass tone you want with this thing. This amp is extremely versatile both on the front panel and the back. You can do some amazing things. I recommend reading the instruction manual before you use it to get the most out of this amp. They are high quality. I own three. I just have the other two for backup. This is a Professional amp that will not disappoint. Enjoy!

I have wanted an ampeg svt for a long time..I threw down and got one (traded in a 300 watt fender head..older solid state model)..I have it rack mounted..in the rack with it..I have a tech 21 rpm preamp..a korg tuner..and a livewire power conditioner/surge suppressor..and a line 6 relay G90 wireless system..needless to say..this is the king kong of bass systems..I am playing through 2 svt 4x10 hlf cabinets (4 ohm cabinets)..I am running the system dual mono..1250 watts (2 x 625 watts @ 4 ohms)..what a sound..!!..and so much head room..everyone really likes my rig..its the monster on stage when it shows up..the other bass players jaws drop when they hear and see this rig..I should charge admission just to look at it..ha..ha..!!..I am so pleased with the entire setup..thank you ampeg..

This head will not let you down. I've played on several that had some decent age on em, and they play just as well as my fairly new one.
I can't even begin to cover all the features. The nine band eq allows for any tone you could want. I play Metal, jazz, blues, classical, classic rock, contemporary christian(not my style, but I don't play it for myself), hard rock, and funk and this head gives me the perfect tone for all of them.
Amazing. Best head I've heard or played on.
It's hard to get a bad tone out of this thing. Even just using the eq knobs u can get an extremely wide range of sounds, and don't get me started on the 9 band(again).
A nice looking amp(I guess).

call the cops ....i heard a sonic boom
By: Craig Mack

the quality is excellent. to be honest, the only thing i would improve is i would have metal or some type of metal alloy for the knob, they are plastic. guess plastic easier to work with. and cheaper too . ha ha. but that is just my suggestion
the power. with this amp power will not be an issue, the issue will be what speakers you use, cause if you crank it up ..and the speakers cant handle it ...you gonna need new speakers. The 3 12ax7's for the pre amp deliver nice warm tone. In the bidged mono setting this brick sh##house will knock pictures off the wall, and cause ear damage.
excellent. no complaints, this amp will do what you tell it to do.
extrememly heavy. If weight is issue, and you have to carry up and down steps, or you have a bad back, or you just weak, this is not the amp for you .
tone is warm and responsive, this amp will cut thru the mix like hot butter. you will be heard
the finish was fine, it looks exactly like the picture on here.
there is no action on an amp...who thought up this question. action refers to the playablity and feel of the instrument not an amp....yall need to eliminate this question .

BEAST OF THE EAST

Your general opinion of this product.
QUALITY:
i decided to rate this item, cause i want anyone considering to buy it to know the real deal on this amplifier. It is the best amp i have ever purchased, but there is one issue that i think should be known. Im the kind of person that when i inspect my purchase, i go over everything. After careful inspection, the only thing that i would improve about this amp is underneath the knobs, they are plastic, this amp would be perfect if they were made of metal/aluminum. Also the cooling fan is not in back of amp, its internal fan, so be careful when u rackmount that you have proper clearance. Other than that cabinet is built like a tank.
FEATURES:
the features are easy to use, and no matter what you set eq on , you cant get bad sound from this amp. No matter what sytle you play, this amp will talk to you, and get the job done, The 3 12ax7's tubes in pre amp give great tone, whether you playing blues, jazz, rock, country, heavy metal, thrash metal

Your general opinion of this product.
QUALITY:
The svt 4 pro is a reliable,rugged amp that has more tone controll and real power than any amp that I have used.
FEATURES:
The tube pre-amp really delivers a growly warm tone when you want it to.You can achieve an amazing array of tones for all types of music.
EASE OF USE:
I highly recommend reading the manual so you fully understand the do's and don'ts for this amp.If you don't you will get crappy sound and blow up stuff!!
VALUE:
I think the value is right on.It is an expensive amp but you will never need to upgrade again.
SOUND:
I can't say enough about the overall sound.(rich,warm,clean,growly punchy bright).It has made my band sound better than ever and improved my playing.

Rock,Funk,Jam

When you consider you'll never have to up-grade, replace, or repair, this head is a deal!
SOUND:
The tube front-end on these babies gives me all the fat bottom that our material requires! The 5-way mid-range lets you round things out, and the EQ lets you tweek it to perfection.
