Ever since Yamaha grabbed a hold of Ampeg it's only been a good thing. They developed so much new stuff it's amazing. As an avid Ampeg user I absolutely salute this. Way to go Japan, and thank you.
Kai plays so tight and has a great sound! I'd love to see a series where every bass player on your channel presents his own favourite basses (that were demo'ed on this channel?), pedals and maybe their live rig :-). Keep it up!
This thing is so close to having everything that I need. I only wish it had an effects loop so I could run my phaser, delay and reverb after the SGT cranked amp sounds but still benefit from the cab sim.
Thanks. Regarding Lars Lehmann Frank Itt and the other bass stars on this channel: to me music is everything but a competition! It’s expression, it’s art. It’s not sports. I’m super happy when someone likes my playing and I love the way Frank, Lars, René and the others here dig in. So there you go.
Those of us who have been session and touring players for decades at the highest levels all know Ampeg is king. I just upgraded my SCR DI which I used for years to this newer version. It’s worth it just for the B15 voice option. Spot on.
Maybe Ampeg got pissed with all these pedal/preamps trying to emulate their amps and decided to break the competition once and for all with that. Both B15 and SVT, classic cabinets, drive and very connections. well done
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! Just found you (liked and subscribed) and now I’m off to watch more. Man, I’m psyched! How do you guys say: tierisch GEIL! Okay, bis später - Tchüß!
Yup. The AmpegTV guys tried this in real time during a livestream. It works! But the Aux Input is after the cabsim. You can also connect the Thru to the Aux Input and use it as a dry blend.
Looks like ampeg and line 6 are finally working together because this is solid if it’s anything like the profile in the helix I’m sold and if it’s all true my real svt will probably start to stay home more.
@MattBreaksWax nope, got rid of that long ago. It's a tone suck pedal, meaning that it has to be always on for it to sound good. I decided not to purchase the SGT-DI. I use Pettyjohn and Saturnworks tube preamps now. Also got a Radial DI. Everything is much better now.
Impressive features! Bass isn’t my main instrument, so I’ve been looking for a good all-in-one solution for some time in order to avoid accumulating bass gear. This could be it.
Showed up at the house today via Sweetwater but the wife had a migraine so tomorrow...Yeah, I know headphones but that's not why I bought it, just an added use. Edit, several months have passed and I am less than thrilled with this. My Ampeg SVP pro preamp sounds real to me though I do not want to lug the power amp along to gig. I believe I will sell this Ampeg box as its just not measuring up to the real thing for me. Anything can sound good alone but when in a mix the wrong sound gets lost.
I imagine the signal gets split somewhere, the through signal going to the bass amp wouldn’t need the cab sim so the xlr and maybe the phones amp would be the only things that need it 🤷♂️
Please someone tell me what is this blue Yamaha bass. As a teenager I bought one of those second-hand for really cheap - it's all I could afford. But I never knew anything about it. Do I have something valuable in my hands?
Wie fett der sbv einfach ist, Aaaaaahhhhh Always thinking about getting one of those pedals. That one is definetly instantly up there with darkglass and co for me
Correction: after we finished this video I learned that the amp sounds are only active if the SGT section is active!
Hey what is that blue Yamaha ? on SVT+SGT+pick

Fantastic idea 😊
He makes the right faces so you know when he plays it, he means it!😅
Toight like a fooking Tiger 🐅 😈
But the vídeo is to show the Ampeg and not to show your opinion about the bass player
"Oh where is your ampeg fridge 8x10? "
"Here in my pedalcase."

i was thinking the same thing
it sounds really great ! Thanks for this demo. The bass player is really good, congrats man !
Finally someone who plays bass-demos with a pick!
Check out the channel of Jonny Dibble. He's making reviews and stuff and plays his Bass in all styles, pick, finger, slap.. love that guy.
@@smeckmusicofficial Will do, thx!
Great demo well done cheers
That thing looks amazing and I will definitely be considering one when they are released. Great review!
The pedal sounds great, a good competitor for sans amp. The demo bass player has the coolest bass face. L8ke the tones available
Damn, this is the now the archetype for throw everything in a gigbag and go. I think I'm buying one of these.
Looks great, would have been nice to see how it does the smooth low end rather than distortion and pick playing
The kid plays well and is working on his own bass face.
I still want more fiddling with the knobs Gregor!!
Love it. Might have to sell my SCR-DI and get one of these.
He truly needs an Ampeg amp back there, I've used them since 1968. The best bass amps in the world, bar none!
That new guy is also a great bassplayer
Great! Kai you are and look brilliant, and what a sound 👌
Those are the sounds. Well done
By far, the best bass player you've ever had on your channel.
😁👍
And Lars Lehmann?

4:35 Larry phoned, he wants your number!
I feel you bro 👊🏿
looking forward to the inexpensive clones of this ;)
all jokes aside this really feels like a Bass amp killer in a way the previous ones weren't quite
Next level bass face on this guy!!
That Yamaha bass sounds amazing!
Great review, and thanks for all the information. I'll have to check one out. Cheers!

PS - man can that guy play bass! Alter!
The only suggestion I can think of would be a FX loop. But could the Preamp Out / Aux In connections function as a FX loop, I wonder?
Yup. The AmpegTV guys tried this in real time during a livestream. It works! But the Aux Input is after the cabsim. You can also connect the Thru to the Aux Input and use it as a dry blend.
Phenomenal player. And that is one sweet old P bass.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I thought "if this can do SVT and B15, it's going to be a hit".
Looks like ampeg and line 6 are finally working together because this is solid if it’s anything like the profile in the helix I’m sold and if it’s all true my real svt will probably start to stay home more.
Thanks Gregor 🇬🇧🎶🎧👍🙏🎸
Awesome I literally just bought an SCR-DI a month ago.
And do you love it?
@MattBreaksWax nope, got rid of that long ago. It's a tone suck pedal, meaning that it has to be always on for it to sound good. I decided not to purchase the SGT-DI. I use Pettyjohn and Saturnworks tube preamps now. Also got a Radial DI. Everything is much better now.
That riff at 1:58 really sounds like Kyuss! Awesome!
I was thinking Tool.
This looks like a hit!
Ampeg for the win 🎉
Damn, I have to get some Birkenstock's !
Does the cab sim only come out of the DI or also through the usual output?
Fantastic B15 sim!
The pedal sounds great, but that lick at 0:22 makes me wanna slap my grandma! So flippin' tasty!
Recently I bought a Sansamp VT-DI that I’m in love with. But this is giving me serious gas!
Kai always delivers a quality in his playing worthy of any product you put in front of him
It is difficult to control the output volume when using the SGT channel live. Volume controls the effect and should be the output of the effect.
Impressive features! Bass isn’t my main instrument, so I’ve been looking for a good all-in-one solution for some time in order to avoid accumulating bass gear. This could be it.
Why no demo of the B-15, even if it was only for 30 seconds?
I might get this pedal!!!
Yes, this one I'll buy.
You got to demo the new Bergantino Super Pre….now that will rule the bass world
Just received it!
Showed up at the house today via Sweetwater but the wife had a migraine so tomorrow...Yeah, I know headphones but that's not why I bought it, just an added use.

Is it possible to turn on only sgt bypassing preamp?
The IR loader means the signal's converted to digital at some point right, but if you bypass the cab sim is it analog all the way through?
I imagine the signal gets split somewhere, the through signal going to the bass amp wouldn’t need the cab sim so the xlr and maybe the phones amp would be the only things that need it 🤷♂️
Would this work on a frfr speaker? 🤔
How do you feel this compares to the revolt? I just got mine and I’m loving it.
I think I see the Yamaha (owns Ampeg) influence, nice package!
As do they own Line 6 which is why the Ampeg stuff is actually called out by name on the HX Stomp/ Helix and sounds so good to me!
Does the USB out let you record directly into a computer?
Please someone tell me what is this blue Yamaha bass. As a teenager I bought one of those second-hand for really cheap - it's all I could afford. But I never knew anything about it. Do I have something valuable in my hands?
Does it have an effects loop?
Wondering what its like compeer to the Origin BassRig Super Vintage ?
I think it sounds ok. I did like the tones of the SVT- SGT combined.
Better than the scdr-di right?
Uhhh WHAT is that blue Yamaha?? Gorgeous instrument!
Looks like a Yamaha SBV 500.
I was wondering the same thing. Great rock sound.
SBV-550
I have a 1966 model. Sunburst. Thin fast neck.
Is the cab SIM only through the DI? .....can you use with the jack output (straight into a Amp)
What about comparing to the VY Bass DI?
Drive comparison between that and the Bergi SPre ? :D
pretty interested in this pedal, has anyone tried it too? whats the situation using a jazz bass or hofner viola?
The Song played on SVT/SGT Sound is very nice and it sounds like a turkish song. Can you tell me, what is the name of the song?
get in my basket!!!!
without effect loop?🤔
Is it possible to use the DI with only the cab sim?
Yes, the amp Sims are only active with the SGT distortion
Great video! Could you review the Fender Downtown Express? It is a pedal with eq, comp and overdrive ^^ Thought about buying that
Don’t get it. It’s not good. Soundwise as well as designwise. Footswitches are way too close to each other
HX stomps gets close to SVT tone as well has having massively morr features in a smaller box 🤷🏻♂️
How could they forget an Input Gain control to adjust the output differences of active and passives basses?
I think you have one built into your bass ? isn't that exactly what your volume control on your bass does?
I think that is the volume control on the left end
Tech21: no one does SVT emulators like us, we’re industry leading
Ampeg: hold my beer
เยี่ยมดีมากๆ
I would love it even more if Mr. Itt was the one playing. He just has the presence :D
Please keep in mind players are reading comments, too.
Usb audio out wbn
So how much grief has the Rupert Neve DI given you?
Would love a comparison between this and the Sansamp BDDI V2!
Compare this to the VT Bass DI.
@@teresaravenshaw5477 and the origin effect super vintage
@@ufo7621 Yup i'd love to see a comparison with the Origin Effects Super Vintage.
Ampeg was like: "People pay HOW MUCH for those Origin pedals??!?!?!"
Ampeg: "So how many pedal makers are advertising their products as B15, SVT in a box? But, we are making those actually right?!"
And it’s worth every dollar, this won’t even touch the SV-Pre, moreso the BASSRig 😂
@@superpanget2 this sounds closer to the real stuff, but I'm sure the Origin pedals are better quality.
These clips do sound as good as Origin effects..and I have seen these cheaper for 399.00 so to me I would pick the Ampeg.
Fuck me I need this so bad hahah I wish I didnt live in a third world country. Pedals like this are extremely hard to find
Solid playing by my ex neighbour Kai🎉
Hey Jens what’s up, homeboy 🤗
@@klemke7043 am now in Jodhpur, India for some days!
Mono in, mono out, otherwise wonderful. Looking for a bass preamp that has stereo in stereo out for mod fx.
$400? That's actually not that bad.
What is the blue bass?
Yamaha SBV500
Wie fett der sbv einfach ist, Aaaaaahhhhh
Always thinking about getting one of those pedals. That one is definetly instantly up there with darkglass and co for me
$389 not a bad price
Do you have to have a weird beard to be a great German bass player?
I consider it a compliment, dude so thanks 😂
@@klemke7043 😃
Tempting...
But got my microbass 3...
Not quite an All-in-one solution …. Needs a mute/tuner for switching basses live
£383!
At least it’s better than the SCR DI
Phat.....
“They managed to include everything”: no fx loop. 😐
Nice pedal but just shy of £500!!
Yamaha does it again...lol
Rick still sounds like crap to me.
....but the Rick fanboys will simp 24/7 for their precious.
"How dare you point out that our overpriced relic sounds like crap."
what a wasted video from across the pond. how and where do you plug it in. you are just cow towing ampeg, thruout this video.
Looks like a child from the marriage of Darkglass X Ultra and Ampeg SCR-DI (I have both of them)
Today's bassist looks kinda weird, sorry
You're weird
