Summary

Ampeg SVX 1 & 2

Ampeg SVX recreates the sounds, operation and feel of the world’s most influential line of bass amplifiers and brings it to your desktop. You’ll get the legendary sounds of the SVT-CL, the B-15, the 4Pro and BA500, all in a convenient lightweight and easy-to-use package.

When you think Ampeg, you think huge stadium bass tone… the Rolling Stones ’69 tour with the wall of SVT Classic Heads and 810 cabinets. The sound of Rock & Roll — early Van Halen through AC/DC to Dave Matthews Band. You think the Motown sounds of James Jamerson and that fabulous “round” bass sound only a B-15 Flip Top can provide — the sounds that DEFINED, and DEFINE, bass.

So really you think “legendary”. The sounds of Ampeg amplifiers are the sound of a bass revolution — the voice of generations of musical identity and groove definition that are synonymous with the fabric of our core as musicians. These are the tools we use to express our inner groove. These are our…

Get Legendary Tones. But what’s behind a “Legend”?

You hear the term “legendary” and “legendary tone” thrown around a lot these days. Everyone is trying to “capture that legendary tone.” But if you think about it, what does it really mean? What’s behind “legendary” that makes it so?

If you dig deep, at the core of everything “legendary” you’ll find one common thread — innovation. And at the heart of innovation is the challenge of the norm, a spirited approach that focuses thinking on not “what is” but “what if.”

Stadium Bass Tones, no Chiropractors

That’s exactly what you get with the Ampeg SVX models. 100% pure Ampeg Bass Tone. Take 175lbs of “legendary” earth-shaking back-breaking roadie-killing bass gear and compress it into a mere 3-pound delicate instrument that can equally produce such raw power and emotion and you’ve got our “what if” thinking, and you’ve got the Ampeg SVX suite of Bass Amps and Bass effects. Innovative? Absolutely. Legendary? Hmmmm…
