Ampeg Debuts the SVT8Pro Amp Head at NAMM

The new SVT8Pro combines a vintage SVT preamp, complete with two 12AX7 and two 12AU7 tubes, with a powerful 2500-watt switch-mode Class D amplifier into an amazingly lightweight 23-pound package. As a result, the compact two-rack-space SVT8Pro delivers more power per pound than any other SVT Pro Series head.

Like all SVT Pro Series heads, the SVT8Pro’s front panel controls include Mute, and expanded EQ section for fine-tuning your sound. In addition, the SVT8Pro also features a unique power amp emulation circuit that allows users to dial in the signature “growl” of an overdriven tube amp, but at any volume and with varying intensity.

All Ampeg Pro Series heads also feature variable speed fans, DC supplied tube filaments for noise-free performance, and Neutrik Speakon connectors for quick set up and better conductivity.
