SVT-5 PRO Bass Amplifier

Rack Mounting

When mounting the SVT-5 PRO into a rack, the four

bottom feet should be removed to maintain the three

rack space height of the amplifier. Be sure to keep the

feet and their attachment bolts for future use. If the feet

are reinstalled, never use screws which will protrude

farther into the amplifier than the original hardware.

The rack must be a high quality enclosure capable of

securely supporting the weight of the amplifier. Tighten

the mounting screws securely through the amplifier’s

face plate, into the rack rails. Check the rack and

mounting screws occasionally to ensure a continually

safe and secure installation.

Troubleshooting

In the unlikely event that your SVT-5 PRO should malfunction, take a few minutes to troubleshoot it before you

call for service. You can save yourself time and money by doing it yourself, and often the cure for the problem is
something quite simple.

If the problem isn’t covered above, or if the steps lead you here, then contact your Ampeg dealer for service infor-

mation. Also, you should refer your amp for servicing if it gets dropped, has liquid spilled into it, or sustains damage
to its power cord (see page 3).
