      Ampeg SVT-VR Vintage Reissue 300 Watt SVT Amp Head (481722)
Availability:  


A vintage reissue of the highly sought-after 1970s blue-line SVT head.

With the new SVT-VR, the Ampeg engineering and product development teams had one primary goal--get as close to the coveted tone of the classic SVT as possible. As a result, the preamp stage, power section, and even the rocker switches of the new SVT-VR emulate the exact signal path, tone, and vibe of the original.

The all-tube, 300W SVT-VR amplifier is driven by a total of 6 - 6550 power tubes for massive power and tone. In addition to the '70s style dials and rocker switches, the SVT-VR's preamp circuitry has been faithfully re-created to match the original.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

Ampeg SVT-VR Vintage Reissue 300 Watt SVT Amp Head

On May 1st, 2009, the Mackie, TAPCO, Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg websites will be updated with the addition of warranty URLs (e.g. www.mackie.com/warranty) expressing new A Stock warranty terms. These warranty URLs will go live on May 1st, 2009. Formerly, warranty periods for these LOUD brands appeared in a variety of locations – in product manuals (for Mackie and TAPCO) and on warranty cards and hang tags (for Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg). In order to streamline and clarify this process, Mackie, TAPCO, Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg warranty periods and terms will be communicated in full on the warranty pages. Any LOUD products purchased prior to May 1st will bear with them the manufacturer’s warranty as predates the new policy. Moving through this transition, in order for customers to obtain warranty service, both the sales receipt and a physical copy of the (older) warranty statement will be required by our Service and Support departments in order to issue Service Requests, etc. If the product was purchased on or after May 1st, 2009, but a physical copy of the older warranty terms is not presented, the new warranty terms and periods will apply. Meanwhile, the products that bear with them the new warranty periods (as reflected in the box contents of each product) are being tracked by serial #, and contain new warranty content referring customers to the appropriate brand website. The information below reflects the product warranty periods that will be effective on May 1st, 2009 for the Mackie, TAPCO, Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg brands: Mackie: A 3-year, nontransferable, inclusive warranty on electronics and a 2-year, nontransferable, inclusive warranty on drivers (where applicable) apply to loudspeakers (active and passive), power amps, powered mixers, and HR studio monitors.

  • because i wasn't alive in the 70s...

    As reviewed by music man on 12/20/2006

    i remember right before purchasing this amp, the horror at the thought of having to sell my first two children atleast to be able to afford this monster of a bass head. But after getting it home and really playing on it i realized that i don't have a problem with that at all! Seriously wether you want the clangy bass tones or the super powerful low bass tones it's all in here. I prefer a combination of the two and this head lets to do that perfectly. If you can afford this head or are just ok with child solicitation you need to get this so go do it

    This thing honks. Too bad the current SVT does not sound like this. This is one of those pieces that will make you wonder why they ever changes the original recipe. If the SVT-VR is coke "classic," then the SVT-CL is "new" coke from 1985. Accept no imitation and buy the real thing now. The difference is obvious. I use vintage Jazz basses and the VR provides the signature growl that I have only previously found with my original SVTs. I tour with one of these and have not been disappointed.
