Hum problems with some Ampeg SVP Pro models.

Some models of this amp suffer from a low ground hum. Quite a lot of owners suffer from this although not all. This can often be removed by simply replacing the ECC83 in the V5 position with another ECC82.

Other owners have had success by using a Hum Destroyer (Behringer make one) between the SVP and the amp.

It is strange that not all models suffer with it and we have heard many explanations over the years. Some people say it is a ground hum caused by insufficient grounding and others say it is a variation in manufacture as not all amps suffer fro it.

If you do have an annoying hum, swapping the ECC83 in V5 for an ECC82 is certainly a cheap solution and well worth a try. Of course, upgrading to JJ valves may also reduce the hum if your existing valves are not high quality.
