The Ampeg Heritage SVT-CL 2011 300W Tube Bass Amp Head is the pinnacle of bass tone. Loaded with high-quality components, including premium Winged C tubes and transformer-balanced line out, the SVT-CL delivers 300W of pure tube power and the iconic Ampeg sound bassists crave. The versatile 5-position midrange selector and high/low EQ provide precise tone control, allowing you to dial in the perfect sound for any genre or venue. Whether you're rocking an arena or recording an album, the SVT-CL serves up rich low end, smooth highs, and everything in between.

Premium Components for Premium Tone

The SVT-CL are premium tubes and solid-state components carefully selected to deliver the highest quality bass tone possible. Matched preamp tubes shape your core tone, while Winged C power tubes provide 300W of power. A burly transformer sends your dialed-in tone to your cab of choice via 1/4" and speakON connections. The result is pure tube tone and power that brings out the best in your bass.

Iconic Tone-Shaping Equalization

Ampeg is renowned for bass tone, and the SVT-CL proves why. Its versatile 5-position midrange selector scoops or boosts frequencies to suit any playing style. High and low EQ circuits add further tone-shaping power. Roll off highs for a vintage thump, boost lows for seismic rumble, or keep EQ flat for transparent tube tone—the tonal possibilities are nearly endless. Whatever sound is in your head, the SVT-CL can produce it.

Built to Last

Like all Ampeg gear, the SVT-CL is built for a lifetime of gigs and studio work. Its durable chassis protects premium components from wear and tear. Tolex covering and a sparkle grille cloth give it a vintage look that ages well. Pro-grade Neutrik jacks stand up to constant plugging and unplugging. When you buy the SVT-CL, you're buying an amp that will inspire your playing for years to come.

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.
