Ampeg svt classic head series#

Although other companies have tried to capture the classic all-tube sound of вЂ™60s and вЂ™70s Ampeg bass heads, no one can touch the SVT.Д¬lassic Series Heads are designed for players who are looking for the authentic, vintage Ampeg tube sound that has earned the respect of the industry. This dynamically powerful all-tube bass amp delivers a thunderous 300-Watts of unsurpassed quality, reliability and tonal flexibility. The harmonically rich sound and legendary performance of the Ampeg SVT are redefined in the SVT Classic. Here is the builder on the Ampeg SVT Classic and the SVT15E speaker cabinet: SVT-CL Bass Head: The current owner of the Ampeg company is Yamaha, who purchased it from LOUD in 2018. The Ampeg SVT Classic models are still in production. The cabinet features factory installed wheels, which is a great feature given that the two pieces total around 150 pounds. The SVT 15E cabinet houses a single, 400 watt 15 inch driver. The head is 300 watts and in good condition with a few rips in the Tolex covering. At this point, Ampeg was owned by LOUD Technologies they purchased it during 2005 from St. Here we are looking at an Ampeg SVT Classic head paired with an SVT 15E cabinet, both dating to 2008. At the end of the tour, the SVT became a production model. Ampeg delivered five prototype 300-watt heads and these were used for all the guitars and basses on the tour. The Rolling Stones were rehearsing for an upcoming tour, and all of their UK-model Fender amps were damaged due to power differences. The public introduction of the SVT series, in 1969, was unexpected. These amps are particularly prized by bass players. Prior to the SVT, very few amps could produce more than 100 watts. The Ampeg SVT Classic is based on the groundbreaking 300 Watt SVT tube amp line used by bands touring large festivals and areas from 1969.
