Ampeg

Ampeg – Legendary Bass Sound Since 1946

Since its foundation in 1946, Ampeg has become one of the most influential manufacturers of professional bass amplifiers. The brand name originated from the “Amplified Peg”, a pickup for double bass developed by company founder Everette Hull. With innovative amplifier concepts and numerous patents, Ampeg quickly established itself as a specialist in powerful bass amplification.

Ampeg is particularly well known for its legendary SVT series. The abbreviation stands for “Super Vacuum Tube” and refers to high-powered valve amplifiers valued for their deep low end, strong dynamics and distinctive sound. The characteristic Ampeg tone continues to shape countless stage, studio and rehearsal setups.
