Ampeg

A legendary bass sound from the leaders in bass amplification and modeling technology.
Ampeg has made history with their bass amp sound, and now sets the future standard with this premier software plug-in. Made in conjunction with IK Multimedia, the leader in software modeling technology, this utility sports Ampeg’s legendary signature tones.

Complete bass-rig plug-in with multiple amps, cabinets, stomps and tuner.
Mix and match between amps and cabinets of the most sought-after Ampeg gear to produce 24 amazing bass amp combinations. Plus, you’ll have a complete bass pedalboard with 6 fully configurable stomp effects. In addition, select among 8 classic bass effects crafted after classic Ampeg stomps and other must have vintage gear. Add a tuner and separate direct/amped signal path for a complete software bass rig.

Ultra accurate modeling of the most sought-after Ampeg gear, with unique DSM™ technology, “Powered by AmpliTube”.
Over 20 bass gear emulations, including classic Ampeg bass amp models like the SVT-Classic, B-15R Portaflex “Flip Top”, BA-500 and SVT-4PRO. Select from Ampeg stomps like the SPC-OCT Octaver or the SCP-OD Overdrive, or cabinets like the SVT-410H or SVT-810E, powered by AmpliTube’s unique DSM™ (Dynamic Saturation Modeling) technology.

Easy to use with hundreds of presets ready to go.
For the first time any musician, songwriter and producer can have a complete, “all-in-one” solution for bass recording. Not just for bass players, Ampeg SVX will give you that great bass sound you just can’t get by plugging directly into a console or computer

  • Combinations
  • Pedalboard
  • Dynamic Saturation Modeling

All of the Ampeg SVX amps and stomps are modeled “component by component” after the original by IK, and ear-tuned by Ampeg’s legendary engineers. AmpliTube’s unique DSM™ (Dynamic Saturation Modeling) technology is used to emulate analog and tube circuits down to a detail of finesse which cannot be offered by any other effects modeler.

The result is a truly accurate dynamic response carved at the highest precision level. Bassists will immediately feel like they are really playing through the high-end amp they are used to hearing only in the best hardware gear.


The Ampeg SVX interface offers 4 individual components: separate Amp Head, Miked Cabinets, plus a Stomp Pedalboard and a Tuner, neatly organized the same way a bass rig is laid out.

Two parallel signal paths make it possible to have separate direct bass sounds, mixed with a completely different processed amped signal, for an instant top-quality studio sound anywhere whether you are recording or jamming.

24 of the finest Ampeg bass amp combinations in one high-end plug-in.

Ampeg SVX contains accurate models of the most sought-after bass amps and cabinets ever made including the SVT-Classic, B-15R Portaflex “Flip Top”, BA-500 and SVT-4PRO, in an easy to use, great sounding plug-in for any platform. 6 bass cabinets are also included (the B-15R, BA-500, BXT-410H, SVT-410H, SVT-810H, PB-212H) with ultra accurate modeling including high frequency horn attenuator, and 6 different microphone models including dedicated bass microphones. In addition, with cabinet mix and match amp heads, up to 24 bass amp combinations can be obtained covering the broadest spectrum of bass sounds you will find anywher.

Analog Chorus - Analog Delay - Compressor - Envelope Filter - SCP OCT Octaver - SCP OD Overdrive - Bass Wah - Volume -

Complete effects selection with configurable bass stomp pedalboard.

Ampeg SVX also includes a fully configurable 6 Stompbox Pedalboard with 8 selectable different effects, all designed specifically for bass. Classic Ampeg effects like the SPC-OT Octaver or the SCP-OD Overdrive are included together with an analog Compressor, Chorus, Delay, Envelope Filter, Bass, Wah, and Volume, all “Powered by AmpliTube.” It is so flexible that by simply switching a preset you will be able to completely repatch all the stomps for the ultimate bass effects rig. Plus, you will be able to create mind-blowing setups, allowing you to switch from one powerful sound to the next without missing a beat!

DSM™ is a new and exclusive IK Multimedia technology used in the emulation of analog circuitry. DSM™ was designed to increase the response realism and playability of critical analog circuit models. Musicians always felt digital emulations of high quality analog gear (such as guitar amplifiers) to be good but not completely satisfying because of the lack of certain “playability” and “musicality” qualities that only the real thing provides. DSM™ has been designed to improve this aspect.

DSM™ gives special and unique results when applied to circuit emulations where the non-linearity is the main characteristic of the processor, such as in distortion, fuzz, overdrive stomp boxes, tube guitar preamplifiers and power amps, and analog compressors and limiters. The DSM™ working principle is based on a new approach never applied to DSP “analog modeling” until now.
Analog circuits, especially Tube and Class-A discrete ones, are not dynamically-linear, but have been modeled this way by today’s technology. An analog circuit’s character is never constantly shaped but varies depending on lots of parameters, first and foremost the strength, frequency and harmonic content of the incoming signal.

DSM™ takes the next step. It continuously adapts the “shape” of the analog circuit instead of applying a static snapshot. By using more complex mathematical functions, a more articulated and musical response is possible, making DSM™ ideal for modeling tube preamps and tube power amps.Traditional emulations are forced to a tradeoff between, for example, those kind of distortions that appear only when a 2x6L6 tube power amplifier is driven to its limit and the cleaner sound it has when it’s driven normally. DSM™ delivers a dynamic response that continuously morphs and “follows” the incoming signal; in other words, that follows the music.

This leads to an accuracy that cannot be found in any other modeling hardware or software today, respecting all the signal nuances exactly like a real analog circuit would do with a grade of realism and musicality never achieved before.
