Harness High-Powered History

Introduced in 1969, the Ampeg SVT (Super Valve Technology) is the reigning king of high-powered tube bass tone. Featuring six 6550 power tubes and a monstrous, back-breaking speaker cabinet, the SVT quickly found favor with players who needed to fill arenas with thunderous low end, punishing mids, and musical high end.

Get the Huge Sound of a Legendary All-Tube Behemoth

Developed by Brainworx, the Ampeg SVT-VR Bass Amplifier plug-in offers an exacting emulation of the classic 300-watt all-tube bass amp that has righteously stood the test of time, regardless of genre, with unmatched power and tone.

    Spectacular

    I've been using the free version for a while now and while I don't see a huge difference in the amp itself (at least, as I use it - I only use the second channel which is available in the free version) , the cabs are a huge upgrade and worth the price of admission.

    They did it again

    In the past have been disappointed with amp plugins, I think I've tried most. Somehow UA gets it. Highly recommended.
