Billy Sheehan and Ampeg Announce Bass Preamp

(Click for a close-up)

Designed in conjunction with bassist Billy Sheehan, Ampeg has announced the new Billy Sheehan Preamp, the SVP-BSP.

The SVP-BSP is a two-channel bass preamp, rooted in versatility and designed to emanate Billy's solo signature sound. It features a hybrid preamp design (1x12AX7) making use of both tube and solid state power sources. The preamp is lightweight (11 lbs.) and also features single space rack design for compact storage. Complete with two channels, the SVP-BSP allows for channel switching, or a combination of the two for a wide range selection.

Separate effects loops, transformer balanced XLR outputs, tuner out and mute functions help round out Billy's vision of the perfect preamp, while options like a 9-band graphic help maintain levels for tone preference.

For hard to satisfy players, features like 3-band EQ on both channels, sweepable mid-range, input pad, ultra low & high boost, and a pull gain boost are available. Plus, peak LED indicators, compressor, noise gate and two-button foot switch help ensure smooth delivery no matter the playing conditions.

The Billy Sheehan Preamp, SVP-BSP, lists for $699.00.
