When St. Louis Music took over in 1986, the production of the SVT moved back to the U.S and only 500 were made over a five year period in the "Skunkworks" department. The amp became known as the SVT-HD, although only SVT appeared on the control panel. The SVT-HD was sold separately from any speaker cabinets.
