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.

Pro Series speakers have oversized magnets, cast frames, and vented back plates for maximum power handling capacity and enhanced fidelity.

Pro-Series Heads use premium copper-wound toroidal transformers for maximum power efficiency and noise resistance.

All Pro Series Heads have either single or multi-tube preamp sections for immediate tube warmth and tonal variations.

The 1600 watt SVT-4PRO utilizes dual heat sinks for efficient dissipation and dependable performance.

Pro Series Heads are linked to their legendary predecessors by such features as tube preamps and a 5-position mid-range control. They also contain a wealth of innovations designed for todays modern music and player.

Pro Series Enclosures are designed to accurately reproduce the entire tonal spectrum for a realistic “high-fidelity� sound. Featuring special resonant Baltic Birch plywood and premium cast-frame drivers, these enclosures are made to deliver your sound.

The Texture switch on the B4R introduces Ampeg’s “Tube Emulation Circuit” to the signal, giving you that classic Ampeg tube growl in a solid-state amplifier.

The BXT Enclosures are made from 13-ply void-free Baltic Birch, have custom Ampeg speakers for a true “hi-fi” reproduction of your sound, and feature heavy-duty metal grills and stacking corners for extreme durability.

B-Series Heads use MOSFET output circuitry for the most “tube-like” feel of any solid-state device. Optocoupler limiters are used to keep the amps from clipping harshly, ensuring a clean signal at full power.

The B4R and B2R have switchable graphic EQs that allow you to fine tune your sound.

B-Series heads offer the player the power and tone of the Pro Series without the premium elements you may not need. The all solid-state design means a “fast” response and allows you to quickly dial in your tone. All B-Series heads feature XLR balanced line-outs, MOSFET power amp circuitry, optocoupler limiters, and effects loops.

B-Series enclosures are designed to capture your sound on stage as well as in the studio. The BXT cabinets, designed by professionals for professionals, feature premium cabinet construction and speaker components. The BSE enclosures offer serious pro performance at affordable prices.

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.

Lighten-Up. The PortaBass Series of products is engineered for the active modern bass player that values portability as well as excellent tone. PortaBass heads feature our patented Micro-Dynamic Technology (MDT) power amp circuitry. This technology eliminates bulky heat sinks and large fans because it is 95% efficient. The PB-250 pushes 250 watts and weighs only 14 pounds. The PB-800 delivers up to 800 watts RMS, can accommodate two different instruments at the same time, and weighs only 20 pounds. These heads deliver a transparent hi-fi sound perfect for a hot-rodded custom 5-string, an electric upright, or a vintage classic from the Sixties.
