The SVT. . . that unmistakable
The SVT is the original all-tube bass amplifier driven by six 6550 power tubes for massive power and tone.
TRACTRIX wave-guide coaxial speakers add a high frequency driver to the SVT-810HPC while maintaining the integrity of the Classic SVT-810E infinite baffle design.
Heavy duty variable-speed fans keep the power sections cool.
The SVT-CL and AV heads feature a user-biasing control that allows you to retube your amplifier and ensure optimal tone and power from your head.
Ampeg sound. Since the late Sixties bass players have recognized Super Vacuum Tube technology, or SVT, as the reference point of tone by which all other bass amplifiers are compared. The SVT-810E classic enclosure with its infinite baffle design has been the standard bass cabinet on stages since introduced in 1969. The physics of the cabinet design coupled with the 10� drivers give the 810E that unique sound that bass players around the world have come to expect from their rig. 5

The Micro-Dynamic Technology (MDT) output section of the PB-250 is so efficient it does away with heavy heat sinks and fans while producing 250 watts of output power.
PortaBass enclosures employ a new speaker using Neodymium magnet structures. Neodymium is hyper-magnetic and extremely powerful, yet is almost weightless compared to traditional ceramic magnet designs.
A true 1” compression driver is used to reproduce high frequencies accurately, no matter which bass you are using.
The variable L-pad controls the high frequency volume so you can fine tune the “breathing” range of your sound.
