Description

Origin Effects are a leading guitar and bass pedal brand, renowned for the quality and sound of their products which use best-in-class components. Their BassRIG Super Vintage overdrive and preamp pedal is designed to recreate the bombastic tone of the iconic Ampeg® SVT® bass amp and its gargantuan 8×10" speaker cabinet — in compact form!

Legendary SVT® Tone

Released in 1969, the SVT® was one of the first high-powered bass amps available and it remains a popular choice among the some of the biggest names in the business. It's famously known for sounding absolutely huge — with incredible low-end depth, a versatile control-set and a growling distortion when cranked.

But of course, an Ampeg® SVT® is notoriously difficult to transport! That's why the Origin Effects BassRIG Super Vintage is a no-brainer for the contemporary player after that coveted Ampeg® sound; harnessing every nuance of the SVT® but in a far more portable package.

Detailed Sound

The BassRIG Super Vintage features an entire valve amp circuit recreated in miniature form — to yield that organic analogue tone. It boasts all of the controls you need to precisely craft the perfect bass amp tone, with a powerful 'Blend' knob that adds in your clean, unaffected signal to preserve clarity and low-end punch.

The XLR-equipped DI output’s analogue cabinet simulator provides a massive sound direct to your mixing console, while the ¼” output features Origin Effects' proprietary 'Amp Out' EQ. This post-drive filter ensures compatibility with any amp and cab, which means that you never have to compromise your clean tone or struggle with the house backline.

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.
