I'm installing mini switches on the front of the amp to access the 4 Push modes for the SVpre. While I have it open, I realized that I have a EH 12AX7 tube sitting around. The same one that came with the SVpre, I'm replacing the V1 preamp tube with it. Also I'm going to replace the LEDs. I'd love to make the faceplace glow purple which is my favorite color, but I think red would look better.
Bro, go get another EH12AX7 and replace both, you'll love it! Purple would be cool, too...
Did you find a good spot for the switches?

I found a spot that I'm more than happy with. I'll post a pic when I'm done. And I'm going get another EH for the V2 phase inverter, at least that's quick and easy to do. Alright, just got back from Radio Shack, no purple or blue LED's. I bought an assortment that has clear, yellow, green, and red. I'm not doing yellow. Red is where I was headed, but green might be interesting. What do you guys think? Any opinions? I'm gonna solder the switches now and I'll do the LED's in an hr or so. Help me decide, red or green.
Well I just broke one of my Reds sooo.......................................The Hulk it is!! LOL! That a good idea man, I might just use that.
OK, I'm going have to work on this more another day. I got the green LED's in, one is not working but logo still lights up. Switching through the Pushes doesn't change anything. Look at the last Pic, the EH 12AX7 is not glowing. I have sound coming out, a bit gritty but loud. I think that tube I put in is no good. Fun Fun Fun. I like the green light-up, just wish it was brighter.
Did you have sound coming out of all the Push modes before?
I´m thinking you may have the ribbon cable backwards! Is this posible?
Actually, when I put the SVpre in originally I set to Orange and left it. I never tried the pushes out before, too much of a hassle. The 1st time I put the ribbon for the BCFH I didn't get any sound, then I pulled them all of, put them on the other way, and thats the way I've been rolling. I left the switch for the pushes in, I was struggling too much to get it out of there. I wired my switches the the connections on the back that switch, with the switch set normal.
OH YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alright I'm in bussiness now. I opened it back up. One of my wires came off, put it back on. There is alot of twisting and turning getting the SVpre inplace so I'm not surprised. Fixed the green LED. Took the amp in the bedroom, and hooked it to the cab. Just the guts of the amp, so it'd be easier to adjust if it didn't solve it. I had the same problem the switches didn't switch anything. I never heard the other modes so I thought I try them out since it was open. When I got to RED Push(holy crap! by the way), I tried my switches and now they work. The switches on the SVpre both have to be off. Now I just have to put it back together. Awesome
Good deal bro! Glad to hear it man, let's see some new pics with The Hulk glowing green in the dark!! ![]()

The Hulk Unleashed!
Ok, here pic of it in the dark. In the light, it's a subtle green and over all not as bright as original LED's. Which is fine, but I'd like the green to be brighter. Red would show up better. I'm really digging the green. Would do you think of the position of my switches in the pics above?
LOL!! Dude that rocks! Cool, so the switches went right where ours did, looks good. How does it sound now with the new green LED?? ![]()
Now go here... http://www.tubesandmore.com/ and put this part number P-L116 in the search box.....![]()

Powerful!
Looks great man! Even though the MKII is coming out, it's awful hard not to pick up a HD100 at the ridiculously low price it's going for now. Especially when you can make it look that cool!

Dude it's hard to want to upgrade to the MK II. It's has alot of pluses over the 1st one, but who know if you'll be able to mod it so much. It's a great thing to do and an awesome amp as it stands. I don't know for sure what I'm going to be doing yet. Probably a matter of time before I cave in though. I've want a IH from L6 for so long.
