Venture Forth with an Ampeg by Your Side
Since 1946, Ampeg has captivated the ears of low-end users with superb tone and pivotal power. With a long history of innovation at its back, Ampeg sailed into uncharted territory with the Venture Series! The Venture V3 300-watt Bass Head packs together the benefits of Class D power, compact size, comprehensive I/O, and intuitive tone-shaping controls. Some at Sweetwater have said the special ingredient in the Ampeg Venture V3 is the Super Grit Technology Overdrive circuit that boasts the voicings of both the SVT and B15. This beauty of Ampeg engineering also boasts an FX Loop, XLR-DI, and a headphone output. All of these features and more set this head up as another Ampeg triumph — Sweetwater bassists certainly think so!

Power that’s all Ampeg
The Venture Series was built for modern-day bassists requiring a portable yet powerful amp head. Under the hood, the V3 sports all-analog circuitry, excepting, of course, the solid-state Class D amplifier. The Venture V3’s 300 watts of power give it plenty of juice to drive every speaker cabinet in the Venture Series, in addition to nearly every speaker you’ll come in contact with on the road.
Legendary tone built right in
The Venture V3 Bass Head offers you the power of its footswitchable SGT (Super Grit Technology) Overdrive circuit for satisfying crunch and powerful drive. Within this circuit, you can tap into the tonal excellence of two of Ampeg’s coveted amplifiers: the SVT and the B15. If you’re unfamiliar with the SVT’s signature roar and harmonic richness, Ampeg invites you to flick the switch and see what the fuss is about. Similarly, the B15 is ready to take you back to vintage sound with tonal qualities all its own. After you’ve picked your poison, you can dial in the amount of grit with a stacked knob configuration. The Venture V3 also provides bassists with a 3-band EQ that includes sweepable Mids, Ultra Hi, and 3-way Ultra Lo.
Comprehensive connections
Playing the bass is a formidable challenge unto itself, but it’s easier to succeed when Ampeg sets you up with all the requirements needed. The Venture V3 offers an XLR-DI, headphone output, and FX Loop for work on the stage or in the studio. The FX Loop is included to provide you more options of integrating your pedals and effects into the signal chain. With all the requisite controls at your fingertips, you’ll find more time for churning out killer grooves and sculpting your dream tone.
Compact size perfect for on-the-go bassists
The Venture V3 is the smallest of the Venture Series, and thanks to a compact design, it can easily fit in a gig bag or even a laptop bag. This makes it the perfect amp head for traveling bassists! You can also grab an optional Venture carrying bag to transport your V3 in ultimate style and protection.
