REALLY improves the bass

by Ed Moon from Kalkaska, Mi.

Music Background: Recording engineer
This plug-in does, for me, what I've been trying to do for the bass sound in my studio. I, normally, took the bass in by a direct line and an amplifier (Fender bassman). This Ampeg plug-in is far and ... read more [+]away the best sounding amplifier for the bass that I have heard. I usually send both tracks (direct and amped) through this and get so much definition that I can lower the bass track, in the mix, and not have it over bearing while still being in front, tied with the drums. close [-]

Perfect for studio recording sessions.

After looking at spending money on a physical Ampeg amp, and a good instrument mic to record with, I decided to take a chance and spend a bit of cash on this VST plug-in first to see if it met my need... read more [+]s. I’m using a Fender Jazz Bass and this thing sounds GREAT! I haven’t had time to explore all the settings and features, I just picked a few of the presets and tried them out. 100% of my work is in the Studio, so this works perfect for me. I own NI’s Komplete with GR5 which is really good but it only has one Bass Amp, which sounds good, but the Ampeg SVX augments that VST amp line up very well with way more choices than I’ll ever use. In fact this is so good it makes me curious about the other VST amps in IK Multimedia’s line up. This VST plug-in saved me a lot of $$$ on physical hardware, as well as room in my small studio. close [-]

A New Believer in Ampeg SVX

by Ricky Sparks from Ridgecrest, Ca. 93555
February 25, 2011
Music Background: Recording Engineer, Musician, Songwriter, Student
I had this software for a couple weeks now. I originally started off with the fully functional demo at IK's website and I just couldn't get enough of the beautifully emulated tones from this software.... read more [+] I am going back and redoing all the bass tracks that we laid down for our latest project.
If you want fat, in your face, dirty, or clean, this software can deliver.
Fully impressed and inspired once again. Thank goodness I can jam until all hours of the night with this setup, because I have not been able to put the bass down since I picked up this collection of powerful tones.
The presets aren't bad either. I use them as a starting point for getting the tones I desire.
The only down side I have found is that you only get 5 activations from IK. So kinda sucks because I have already used 2 on the 2 machines I have. I would hate to see a problem arise and have them be hard asses about getting new authorizations. We will have to wait and see. I know that I am going to upgrade here really soon so. I will post any new info when the time comes.
The other down side is that, there is no 64 bit version of the software. So it really sucks because my DAW is 32 and 64 bit, but I have to use the 32 bit version and I don't the the full advantage of the extended ram I have. but I hope they do up the ante, especially with so many machines going 64 bit and operating systems going 64 bit.
oh well. I'll live.
For the price i got this software, it is hands down the best out there.

who would have ever thought, Ampeg tones in a software? Just amazing. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
Ampeg SVX is an excellent emulator for any DAW owner. I have been using an SVT classic amp for several years and I must say that I am impressed with how close the virtual instrument sounds compared to the actual hardware. If you need the Ampeg "bite" in your mix, then you need Ampeg SVX.

Absolutely amazed by the personal service on our order! It is obvious customer satisfaction is a priority. Your company would be the first place we would look for music related items. Great prices, great service and BTW, even the little touch of adding some candy made my kids very pleased! Thank you!
