An Introduction to the Ampeg SVTMP:
The harmonically rich sound and legendary performance of AMPEG products are redefined in the SVTMP. This rock-solid chunk of equipment is worth its weight in gold on the stage, in the studio, or anywhere a quality microphone preamp is needed. Some of the highlights of the SVTMP include:
•All tube design – one 12AX7, one 12AU7
•Transformer balanced Mic and Line inputs with up to 55dB of gain
•Hi-Z Instrument Input and Thru jacks
•Pad switches for each input – for the best signal to noise ratio and headroom
•Transformer balanced Output
The SVTMP will find its way into your life in a number of ways - as a mic preamp, as a line preamp/driver, or as an instrument preamp/DI to fatten up the sound of your electric or acoustic/electric guitar, bass, keyboard, digital instrument, or your PodTM, J-StationTM, or other processor .
Whether you use it to simply fatten up your instrument or drive a hundred feet of cable, the SVTMP will deliver Ampeg tone and performance unlike any other - it’s not just another brick in the wall - and, it will do it with that unmistakable touch of AMPEG that will leave you floored.
