SVT-VR Overview
For more than 50 years, Ampeg has been designing products for astute and discriminating musicians around the world. For 2006, Ampeg is reaching into its illustrious past to offer the SVT-VR, a vintage reissue of the highly sought after 1970's "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 rock 'n' roll workhorse.
The all tube SVT-VR amplifier is driven by a total of six 6550 power tubes for massive power and tone. In addition to the 70's style dials and rocker switches, the SVT-VR's preamp circuitry has been faithfully recreated to match the original. Even the classic blue graphics are there-affirming Ampeg's commitment to the amp's legacy.
