gs_triumph Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, I am a big fan of ampeg tone. I currently have a ba115hp - the 220w version. I like it but it doesn't quite do the chunky classic ampeg tone. Someone is selling a micro svt head and cab locally at a price I find agreeable. I'd our likely to get me closer to the classic ampg sound? Edited February 7, 2016 by gs_triumph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The micro is apparently more classic Ampeg sound. Probably even more likely if connected to a bunch of Ampeg 10s rather than a 15 - am assuming you`re thinking more of the classic SVT sound. Might be wise to do a talkbass search and see if you can pick up any views/opinions from Jimmy M - he`s Ampeg nuts, and his opinions are usually pretty much spot on re Ampeg.

dave74200 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I've always found that the only way to get that proper Ampeg valve tone is to buy one of their amps that takes two people to carry it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gs_triumph Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Seems a bit excessive for home use... But I guess the weight doesn't matter if you're not taking it anywhere. ... Might have a weird with the bank manager (wife) Edited February 8, 2016 by gs_triumph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave74200 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Or try a Tech 21 VT bass pedal mate. I'd highly recommend them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_be9GSlt_eQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
