Description
Ampeg call their SGT-DI Preamp and DI "the all-in-one bass box" because it gives modern bassists an entire rig in a single, compact pedal! The SGT-DI delivers an enhanced Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive circuit featuring iconic Ampeg SVT and B15 voices, versatile 3-band EQ (now with sweepable mids), 3-way Ultra-Hi and Ultra-Lo switches, a variable compressor, and an aux/headphone section. The Ampeg SGT-DI Preamp and DI pedal can therefore serve as a "command centre" for your pedalboard, allowing you to plug in and play anywhere!
The SGT-DI Preamp and DI also introduces the first IR Loader/Cab Simulator from Ampeg. You can choose from three classic factory cabs or up to three cabs of your own by using the free Ampeg IR Loader application. Combining time-tested Ampeg tone with modern capabilities, the SGT-DI demonstrates Ampeg's commitment to honouring their legacy while also serving the needs of contemporary players.
Key Features
- 3-Band EQ with a concentric, sweepable mid-range frequency selector.
- Super Grit Technology (SGT) circuit that provides more of the warm, gutsy growl that defines Ampeg tone!
- All-analogue SVT & B15 voicing circuit works as an enhancement to the SGT circuit, replicating the grit and harmonic distortion of these two iconic amplifiers when played at different levels.
- Onboard IR loader/cab simulator lets you choose from three classic factory cabs (Heritage B15, Heritage SVT-410HLF, and vintage "square-back" SVT810), or up to three cabs of your own by using the free Ampeg IR Loader application. Volume for the IR loader is controlled via a push-and-release control on the side of the pedal.
- Ultra-Hi and 3-way Ultra-Lo switches allow for extra tone-tailoring.
- Built-in variable 10:1 compressor keeps your tone dynamic and level.
