SVT sound in a solid-state amp!

In the world of high performance bass amps, the Ampeg SVT-450H gives you more power, performance and flexibility than any other bass amp in its class. And if we didn’t tell you, you’d swear the SVT-450H was a tube amplifier. Producing warm, tube-like performance at stunning volume levels (it’s rated at 450-Watts RMS at 4 Ohms), the SVT-450H uses MOSFET technology and offers a full complement of professional features, such as: Optocoupler Limiters, which prevent unwanted power amp distortion, no matter how loudly you play; and an onboard 9-Band Graphic EQ that allows you to sculpt a tone that is second to none. In spite of all these amazing features, the SVT-450H is still Ampeg's most affordable bass head.

svt 450h

by Nate from KY
December 5, 2010
Music Background: bass player
I ordered this with a 410hlf cab. The head was defective. When I hooked it to the cab and turned it on I only got static and a loud pop when I engaged the eq. To rule out faulty speaker cables I tried... read more [+] the 1/4'' and speakon connections...same problem both ways. The shipping box was undamaged, did not show signs of rough handling, and the head was well-packed so it must have been defective prior to leaving the factory. So much for quality control. It all worked out because the whole rig (head and cab) was bigger and heavier than I expected. I returned both in exchange for a Mesa M6 Carbine combo (see my review there). The folks at Sweetwater gave me excellent support throughout the entire exchange process--well beyond what would normally be expected! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
