SVT-6 PRO Bass Amplifier
An Introduction to your new Ampeg SVT-6 PRO Bass Amplifier
The harmonically rich sound and legendary performance of the AMPEG SVT are redefined in the SVT-6 PRO. This versatile and powerful bass amplifier delivers up to 1100 watts of unsurpassed musical power, and offers the classic vibrancy of tubes with several outstanding features.
All of the features and controls of your SVT-6 PRO are covered in detail within the pages of this user’s guide. We recommend that you go over them before you use the amplifier.
Features
In the world of high performance bass amps, Ampeg’s SVT amplifiers stand alone. In true Ampeg tradition, the SVT-6 PRO offers you more power, performance and flexibility than any other bass amplifier in its class. Below are some of the outstanding features of your new amplifier - features which set it apart from the competition!
•TUBE PREAMP: 4 gain stages for high headroom and clarity
•TUBE DRIVEN MOSFET POWERAMP: The sound of a tube driver and the high power output available from MOSFETs
•COMPRESSION CONTROL: Allows you to control the dynamics of the tonal response characteristics of the preamp, from punchy to compressed
•TUBE VOLTAGE: Control the dynamics of tonal response characteristics from the power amp, from punchy to compressed
•4-BAND SEMI-PARAMETRIC EQ: Shape your sound to your own exacting standards, or eliminate unwanted room vibrations or buzzing
•TUNER OUT JACK: Allows connection to an electronic tuner and provides an “always live” monitor feed even when the output is muted
•SPEAKON® JACKS: For more reliable connections at higher power outputs (in addition to 1/4” speaker out jacks)
•TRANSFORMER BALANCED LINE OUTPUTS: Independent level control - one transformer balanced XLR and one balanced/unbalanced 1/4” jack to patch into house consoles, mixing boards, or external power amplifiers, pre or post eq
•EFFECTS LOOP: Connect your effects here for increased intensity and quieter operation
•POWER AMP IN/PREAMP OUT: A separate preamp may be connected to the Power Amp In jack, and the Preamp Out jack may be connected to a slave amp
•FOOTSWITCH CONTROL: Use a footswitch to activate the Mute feature
•CURRENT LIMITING: The current limiting circuit provides protection against short or fault conditions at the output
•CIRCUIT BREAKER PROTECTION: A heavy duty resettable circuit breaker provides protection against fault conditions
