Ampeg Venture V12 1200W Bass Amplifier Head

General

Folded up inside this tight, retro-futuristic box, you'll find a 1,200 Watt Class-D amplifier and classic Ampeg voicing. Meet the Ampeg V12 bass amplifier head. This amp keeps things super-lightweight and compact while always bringing the right level of power, no matter the stage or situation, and even features an on-board DI to support an easy setup in the venue or the studio. Before you even dive into the tone-tweaking controls, you get the pick of two iconic bass sounds to really lay down your foundation: an SVT or B15, while the input of this fully equipped stomper is supported by an input gain mini-switch that can be flipped between 0dB or -15dB to accommodate passive models, active models, or even bass models mounted with pickups that spit a slightly higher-than-average or lower-than-average output.

The Ampeg Venture V12: The Legacy Preamp EQ & Super Grit Overdrive

From there, your sound is dialled in via a powerful, detailed and responsive three-band EQ section courtesy of a built-in Legacy Preamp which also supplies a compression pot, so everything can be nicely balanced out and polished off. If your bass sound is in need of a more brutal edge, simply flip the Super Grit mini-switch into the On position and dial in your preferred level of Grit... or gain. For more punch in the low-end or high-end, simply engage either the Ultra-Hi or Ultra-Lo switches and, to seamlessly integrate your entire rig, simply hook your pedalboard up to the effects loop.
