The SVT. . . that unmistakable 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.

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.

The V4BH features the exact same all-tube preamp as the CL and AV models, but uses a quartet of 6L6 tubes for its output. It also features a power amp presence boost switch making it a great head for cabinets with horns. The SVT-350H uses solid-state MOSFET technology delivering the most tube-like feel of anything in its class. The optocoupler limiter circuit prevents power amp distortion, no matter how loudly you play.

The all-tube SVT Classic and SVT-AV are direct descendents of the original SVT head, but with modern enhancements like a five-position mid frequency selector, input gain, master volume, and tube protection circuitry. By using six 6550 power tubes and original transformer technology, Ampeg creates the classic tone of the Sixties and Seventies that others can only try to emulate.
