Description

The Ampeg Classic is a fully-analog preamp pedal that offers classic Ampeg bass amp tones in a compact pedal format.

Preamp pedals can be a useful addition to your pedalboard. You can use them as always-on pedals and have them as your primary tone (great for ampless rigs), or you can use them to distinctly change your core sound with just the press of a button.

The controls on the Ampeg Classic match the controls you'd find on many Ampeg amps. There's a volume control as well as a standard three-band EQ consisting of Bass, Mid, and High for precise tone shaping. Like the amps, the Ampeg Classic features an Ultra-Hi and an Ultra-Lo switch which you can use to quickly add extra high- or low-end emphasis.

The Ampeg Classic is great for use as your primary preamp sound but is also perfect as a secondary preamp thanks to the true bypass switching which means it won't affect your tone when its not activated.

Specifications

  • 3-band tone stack plus volume
  • Ultra-Hi and Ultra-Lo circuits
  • True bypass, analog design
  • All-metal chassis construction
  • 9V DC supply or battery capable (not included)

Whether you are holding down a steady rhythm or shaping a more melodic bass voice, the right bass equipment helps you stay locked in and felt as much as heard.

preamp

A preamp is a stage in the signal chain that boosts the guitar’s signal and shapes its core tone before it reaches the power amp or recording interface. Preamp pedals and units can add gain, EQ, and character, helping define clarity, warmth, and drive while forming the foundation of a player’s overall sound.
