Members poomwah Posted February 12, 2008 Members Share Posted February 12, 2008 To all the people that offered me advice on an amp, and everyone who was so patient with me, thank you so much for everything. And I'm also wanting to apologize for NOT taking the advice that you all gave me. But I ordered an amp today that wasn't even on my list, it was 100 dollars more than I was planning on spending on the GK1001rb, well 105 dollars to be more specific, I got it for 725, the GK would have been 620 from RMC, So in two days, I should have me new Ampeg SVT3PRo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members collinwho Posted February 12, 2008 Members Share Posted February 12, 2008 It doesn't review well. That being said, I found the perfect sound for my old band through one, and you could definitely do worse. Its not as versatile as the GK, but it isn't like its a horrible amp that is going to fall apart when you open the box or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted February 12, 2008 Moderators Share Posted February 12, 2008 that bad? It is perfectly serviceable and will do you no harm. But the GK is a better amp. To pay more for a lesser amp is a bad choice in our opinion. Not a "you married a psycho!" bad choice, but a "you didn't get the steak?" bad choice.

Members poomwah Posted February 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2008 well, I did the married a pyscho thing about 15 years ago, thank god thats over. I knew the GK had more power, but my way of thinking is that I wanted that classic svt sound and couldnt afford the full tube version, the guy I got this from said I could get the same sound. I guess my way of thinking was messed up again :[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members REMUS Posted February 12, 2008 Members Share Posted February 12, 2008 Who knows, you might love it 10x more than any GK If it's good to your ears then it's all cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't love it, send it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poomwah Posted February 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2008 this is what I get for listening to a friend who plays through a hartke He hooked me up with a friend of his who plays in a "local" band and sells instruments/equipment. His first suggestion was the hartke 5500, but he thought the svt would be closer to what I wanted. Now I'm gonna be a nervous wreck for 2 days :[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
