Marvin Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) As it says in the title, Ampeg have put out two new preamp stompboxes. Will be interesting to see what price they pitch them at.

discreet Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Very interesting! What I really want is a pedal that can recreate the slam of an SVT valve power stage. But I think I have a long wait ahead... Edited January 19, 2017 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Kinda interested but I suspect a lot of us found what we were looking for with the Sansamp stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahpook Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Chickenhead control knobs on a stompbox ? Bad idea for us less able to ballet dance ! Edited January 19, 2017 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basshead56 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Kind of disappointed with these. Chopping an already middle of the road pedal into two lesser units. Also no D.I. on the preamp pedal... what's the point. Just buy the VT Deluxe D.I. or Deluxe (more authentically Ampeg in terms of tone IMO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 They'll cost $99 each in the States, so probably the same in £s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Always get anxious about the quality of pedals that list an 'all metal chassis' as a feature... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just another dreary release. NAMM demos are never a good judge, but they do not sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drake Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hmm, no DI? Not really a pre-amp without that is it, just an OD/dist box..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
