The Ultimate Industry Standard: Ampeg SVT-CL Tube Bass Head
The Ampeg SVT-CL (Classic) all-tube bass amplifier head is the definitive icon of bass amplification, delivering the legendary depth, warmth, and harmonic richness that defined the sound of modern rock music. Producing 300 Watts of pure, unadulterated tube power at 2 or 4 Ohms, the SVT-CL stands in a league of its own. Trusted by touring legends like Gene Simmons (KISS), Dave "Phoenix" Farrell (Linkin Park), and George Clinton (P-Funk), it remains the ultimate benchmark for professional bassists worldwide.
All-Tube Circuitry and Raw Power
The tonal authority of the Ampeg SVT-CL comes from its uncompromised tube architecture. The preamp stage utilizes three 12AX7 and two 12AU7 tubes to craft a thick, articulate signal with touch-sensitive dynamics. The power section harnesses six massive 6550 output tubes, delivering unmatched headroom and low-end authority. On-board user-adjustable BIAS controls on the rear panel allow quick monitoring and calibration of the power tubes for optimal bias setting.
Comprehensive Tone Sculpting and Connectivity
Designed for maximum performance on stage and in the studio, the SVT-CL offers classic tone control:
-
Dual Inputs: Separate 0dB and -15dB input jacks accommodate active and passive instruments with ideal impedance matching.
-
EQ Architecture: Features a 3-band EQ coupled with a 5-position Mid-Tone Control selector (selecting frequencies at 220Hz, 450Hz, 800Hz, 1.6kHz, or 3kHz) for surgical midrange placement.
-
Voicing Switches: Onboard Ultra Hi and Ultra Lo toggles instantly boost high-end shimmer or extend deep sub-bass frequencies.
-
Pro Routing: Features a balanced XLR Line Out, Preamp Out / Power Amp In patch points, and a dedicated Slave Out for chaining additional power amps.
