[@RyanDenley]

This thing is so close to having everything that I need. I only wish it had an effects loop so I could run my phaser, delay and reverb after the SGT cranked amp sounds but still benefit from the cab sim.

[@liampopa]

And Lars Lehmann?

[@klemke7043]

Thanks. Regarding Lars Lehmann Frank Itt and the other bass stars on this channel: to me music is everything but a competition! It’s expression, it’s art. It’s not sports. I’m super happy when someone likes my playing and I love the way Frank, Lars, René and the others here dig in. So there you go.

[@book3100]

[@trunks828]

Looks like ampeg and line 6 are finally working together because this is solid if it’s anything like the profile in the helix I’m sold and if it’s all true my real svt will probably start to stay home more.

[@lrm215]

I might get this pedal!!!

[@SisterRose]

looking forward to the inexpensive clones of this ;) all jokes aside this really feels like a Bass amp killer in a way the previous ones weren't quite

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

This is a game changer!

[@ianmcfly31]

Does the cab sim only come out of the DI or also through the usual output?

[@lisasirois5160]

Fantastic B15 sim!

[@OneSleepyPanda]

How do you feel this compares to the revolt? I just got mine and I’m loving it.

[@KevlarVTX]

Phenomenal player. And that is one sweet old P bass.

[@edwardjons8684]

Impressive features! Bass isn’t my main instrument, so I’ve been looking for a good all-in-one solution for some time in order to avoid accumulating bass gear. This could be it.

[@HighlandViking]

[@kane6529]

As do they own Line 6 which is why the Ampeg stuff is actually called out by name on the HX Stomp/ Helix and sounds so good to me!

[@joshuaparks7429]

Does the USB out let you record directly into a computer?

[@ricardol.1223]

Great video! Could you review the Fender Downtown Express? It is a pedal with eq, comp and overdrive ^^ Thought about buying that

[@michaelgrau9260]

Don’t get it. It’s not good. Soundwise as well as designwise. Footswitches are way too close to each other

[@1710Lysifer.Musikant]

Wondering what its like compeer to the Origin BassRig Super Vintage ?

[@SB-mb8fx]

Great Demo. And this Bassplayer is an amazing badass. No senseless palm-mute fuddling, not too much escalating slap orgies, just great playing. Thanks for that.

[@abdulharifchesor3062]

เยี่ยมดีมากๆ

[@stfranckmusic]

pretty interested in this pedal, has anyone tried it too? whats the situation using a jazz bass or hofner viola?

[@stereoroid]

The only suggestion I can think of would be a FX loop. But could the Preamp Out / Aux In connections function as a FX loop, I wonder?

[@Metalholic210]

Yup. The AmpegTV guys tried this in real time during a livestream. It works! But the Aux Input is after the cabsim. You can also connect the Thru to the Aux Input and use it as a dry blend.

[@francoishtzl157]

Drive comparison between that and the Bergi SPre ? :D

[@snappa8475]

You got to demo the new Bergantino Super Pre….now that will rule the bass world

[@basstheworldofficial]

Just received it!

[@eveythingthatsadam]

HX stomps gets close to SVT tone as well has having massively morr features in a smaller box 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@dannyx.m]

Would this work on a frfr speaker? 🤔

[@tylerwmbass]

The IR loader means the signal's converted to digital at some point right, but if you bypass the cab sim is it analog all the way through?

[@entertaintech4374]

I imagine the signal gets split somewhere, the through signal going to the bass amp wouldn’t need the cab sim so the xlr and maybe the phones amp would be the only things that need it 🤷‍♂️

[@teresaravenshaw5477]

What about comparing to the VY Bass DI?

[@ozzsihing]

Does it have an effects loop?

[@ufo7621]

Maybe Ampeg got pissed with all these pedal/preamps trying to emulate their amps and decided to break the competition once and for all with that. Both B15 and SVT, classic cabinets, drive and very connections. well done

[@JVMC_ZR1]

Thanks to all of those companies emulating The SVT, Ampeg can no longer hold back their Analog/SS technology. It's just dumb to think that music technology hasn't advanced past 1969. Yet these small boutique brands and Darkglass come out of nowhere and emulated it and exceeded it perfectly in a small footprint 👣.

[@zulu5157]

Lars "kissed" with his playing this pedal for fretless players alive. Top recorded 💪👍

[@9999plato]

Showed up at the house today via Sweetwater but the wife had a migraine so tomorrow...Yeah, I know headphones but that's not why I bought it, just an added use. Edit, several months have passed and I am less than thrilled with this. My Ampeg SVP pro preamp sounds real to me though I do not want to lug the power amp along to gig. I believe I will sell this Ampeg box as its just not measuring up to the real thing for me. Anything can sound good alone but when in a mix the wrong sound gets lost.

[@andymarshman9546]

Why no demo of the B-15, even if it was only for 30 seconds?

[@d1a2d2a3]

Better than the scdr-di right?

[@mowhoudin]

Is it possible to use the DI with only the cab sim?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Yes, the amp Sims are only active with the SGT distortion

[@Herz.Seele.Verstand]

The Song played on SVT/SGT Sound is very nice and it sounds like a turkish song. Can you tell me, what is the name of the song?

[@Meypelnek]

How could they forget an Input Gain control to adjust the output differences of active and passives basses?

[@joetspaulding]

I think you have one built into your bass ? isn't that exactly what your volume control on your bass does?

[@nothingEvil101]

I think that is the volume control on the left end

[@noelbonnici191]

Please someone tell me what is this blue Yamaha bass. As a teenager I bought one of those second-hand for really cheap - it's all I could afford. But I never knew anything about it. Do I have something valuable in my hands?

aguilar rules,EBS rules swr rules but definitely NOT ampeg. i am for 35 years session bass player and they are not so good. if someone wants high end sound and diversity,they are the last in line

[@klemke7043]

I agree in one sense: Musicman stingray always sounds similar-ish no matter what amp/ preamp you’re using. The Yamaha or any precision Jazzbass style Bass sound very different with various amps. Ampeg is either Stax Motown or 60s tone or a rock sound. If that’s not your thing obviously other amps are more to your liking. But Ampeg is definitely a standard and by many considered THE bass amp (me included).

[@danielbowskill1180]

Is the cab SIM only through the DI? .....can you use with the jack output (straight into a Amp)
