  • Ampeg SVT oddity

    I came across something odd last night at a gig. Ive been in live sound for many years and Ive never seen this......

    Rack mounted SVT Pro 3 . I was using the Xlr out and strangely , the Xlr out level pot on the back was controlling the amps volume out of the speaker cab . The pre/post switch on the front didnt change anything.
    This has got to be a fault with the amp yes ?? Anyone ever seen this ?

    Do you have a schematic? I'm having trouble finding anything other than the power amp schem.

      Very odd... That level adjust is a pull switch to lift the ground. I wonder if there is something funky happening with that switch shorting something?

        Although the file is named 3 Pro that seems to be the schematic for the SVT III, which is totally different circuit I believe.
