UAD Ampeg SVTVR Classic

Developed by Brainworx, the Ampeg SVT-VR Bass Amplifier plug-in offers an exacting emulation of the classic 300-watt all-tube behemoth and its equally legendary 8x10 cabinet for UAD hardware and UA Audio Interfaces.

The legendary SVT bass amp is the result of Ampeg's desire to create the, "biggest, nastiest bass amplifier the world has ever seen." Mission accomplished. The SVT has righteously stood the test of time, regardless of genre, with unmatched power and tone:

• Track and reamp with the burly, unmistakable tube tone of the immortal SVT bass amp.
• Harness the power of the SVT's classic 8x10 cabinet.
• Harness the power of the SVT's classic 8x10 cabinet.
• Audition 23 different high-end Recording Chains with a selection of mics, cabinets, and outboard gear.

High-Powered History

Introduced in 1969, the Ampeg SVT (Super Valve Technology) has remained 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. From Bootsy Collins to Tony Levin, Chris Squire to Robert Trujillo, hundreds, if not thousands of bassists have called on the SVT to deliver huge, unmistakably rugged bass tones.

Tons of Tones

The Ampeg SVT-VR Bass Amplifier plug-in provides all of the raw power and punch of the hardware, putting a raging beast directly into your DAW. Whether you're tracking through the SVT with an Apollo interface, or reamping an existing bass track with any UAD-2 hardware, the SVT-VR plug-in offers myriad tones for any genre.

SVT FX Rack

The Ampeg SVT-VR plug-in features tools that greatly add to its versatility when tracking bass guitar. The FX Rack features an onboard noise gate, Power Soak, and pre/post switchable EQ filter controls, allowing you to put the finishing touches — before or after mixdown — on your tones. But it's the SVT-VR plug-in's 23 Recording Chain presets that give you the ultimate in flexibility. Captured through Brainworx's ultra-rare Neve VXS72 console, these presets let you audition your sounds through a variety of vintage mics, cabinets, and outboard gear. It's akin to an engineer patching you through various chains and mic placements.

Unison Technology for Apollo Interfaces

Harnessing UA's groundbreaking Unison technology, the Ampeg SVT-VR Bass Amplifier plug-in gives you the impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors that have contributed to making this iconic tone machine one of the most recorded bass amps in history.
