Selling my Ampeg SVT Tube DI. No longer made, these things are up there with the top of the crop of valve DI's. It sounds so good I've used it even when I'm not going to a house PA. Not just for bass, it sounds great with guitars and absolutely brilliant behind a Hammond or Rhodes. It really just works with everything and sounds great with everything. Super quiet, I expect it would work great in a studio, but it's also built well enough to take out on gigs. I'm really only considering selling it because I'm simply carting too much stuff around and I need to declutter my load.
Hasn't been made for years, so how to price this? I really have no idea. It's nearest competitor would probably have been the Aguilar DB900, but that's no longer made so that's no help. Amazon shows the REDDI for USD$745.00, the Radial Firefly for USD$599.99. The quality of the Ampeg is certainly up there with those two IMHO..... so I think $400 seems a pretty fair deal for such a serious piece of kit.
Pretty heavy so I'm thinking pickup in Sydney is probably the only way. Having said that, in coming weeks I'm in Canberra, Bathurst, Wagga, and Newcastle, so if anyone wants to pick it up on those locations I can certainly bring it with me.
