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 V12 1,200-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 V12 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 V12 sports all-analog circuitry, excepting, of course, the solid-state Class D amplifier. The Venture V12’s 1,200 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 V12 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 V12 also provides bassists with a 3-band EQ that includes sweepable Mids, Ultra Hi, and 3-way Ultra Lo. These tonal-sculpting features are topped off by a highly musical variable compressor.
