Congrats!!.....that's a great amp!View attachment 16926 I finally got all tubes with a SVT-2 PRO and I couldn't be happier!!! My old SVT-3 Pro was great, but I was never completely happy with it. It's been a month now and I'm like a little kid - I rush home from work and just play and enjoy! I purchased used from GC ($850) and it had issues so they bought me all new output tubes (Tung Sol 6550's) and I installed them along with a couple burnt resistors and IC's (bias sense). That's luv it didn't work, I had to fix it and I am still totally in luv with it!!! View attachment 16925
Wow! That is one awesome amp! I love the wood case. Congrats!Yep tubes all the way, I hardly use my hellborg system these days after landing this Mark Bass classic 300.
The only thing is with tubes you actually rent your tone as you can expect to have to replace tubes every year or so. But so worth it. My mark bass has a high definition mode which send more current to the tubes. the result is more amazing tone but you have to replace power tubes more often. Who cares when it sounds this good. I run in high def mode all the time.

Does that amp have a fan in it? I can't find an image of anything but the front of the Markbass Classic 300 online. The reason I ask is, I have a 50w and 30w tube amps and neither of them have fans. The tops of both get quite warm, so I have small computer case fans rigged to them to reduce the heat. The 30w is an inexpensive Ashdown Little Bastard, but the 50w is a kinda pricey 65Amps Apollo head, which I would think the price of a built in fan would not be a consideration in the build cost. Is there a reason not to have a fan in a tube head?Yeah I got it made custom as when I purchased the amp second hand it had been dropped and the original sleeve was cracked down one side. I had left over wood so made the matching pedal board.
This has a fan on the back panel which sucks air through the front, past the valves and out the back.Does that amp have a fan in it?
