IK Multimedia AmpliTube SVX

Legendary Bass Tones
now in AmpliTube Custom Shop

The Rolling Stones ’69 tour. Early Van Halen to AC/DC to Dave Matthews Band. The Motown sounds and that fabulous “round” bass tone. The gear behind AmpliTube SVX defined – and continues to define – the sound of electric bass.

So accurate it even shut down
Funny story… during the first phase of testing with the original engineers, one particular software model was being driven so hard that it “shut down.” Completely stopped working. But the lead engineer approved the model on the spot.
You see, there was a slight design flaw in the actual amplifier that would cause a power fault shutdown if the amp was driven too hard for too long. The software model was so accurate that it even replicated this design flaw!

What’s included in AmpliTube SVX
AmpliTube SVX features 18 models including 4 amps, 6 cabinets and 8 stomps, giving you the “Greatest Hits” amps, from the earth-shattering sound of Rock & Roll bass from the SVT – the Grandaddy of them all, to the smooth groove-making rolls of the B-15. The scooped edginess of the 4Pro. Plus a complete set of bass-specific pedals to give you unprecedented tone shaping options.

4 Amplifiers

SVX-500
Based on the Ampeg® BA-500, a high quality solid-state bass amp with a sonic fingerprint that will deliver a big, detailed sound. Thanks to its powerful sound shaping controls, this amp model will be great on all musical genres and styles.

SVX-15R
Based on the re-issued 1960s Ampeg® B-15R, enhanced and improved. This all-tube model limited production features the “classic” tube preamp combined with a selectable tube 60W/100W power amplifier for the most sought-after vintage bass sound ever.

SVX-CL
Based on the Ampeg® STV-Classic, this all-tube bass head delivers a warm, harmonically rich and punchy sound that is a trademark for the rock bass sound both live and in the studio. The amp that created the rock bass sound.

SVX-PRO
Based on Ampeg® SVT-4PRO, a real all-round high end bass amplifier. It combines a full-featured tube preamp with a tight solid-state power amplifier for a wide and rich sound spectrum from extremely neutral and transparent to powerful unique tones.

6 Cabinets

SVX-500
Based on Ampeg® BA500® Cab Model.

SVX-15R
Based on Ampeg® B-15R® Portaflex “Flip Top” Cab Model.

SVX-410B
Based on Ampeg® BXT 410H® Cab Model.

SVX-212
Based on Ampeg® PB-212H® Cab Model.

SVX-410S
Based on Ampeg® SVT-410H® Cab Model.

SVX-810E
Based on Ampeg® SVT-810E® Cab Model.

8 Stompboxes

SVX-OD
Based on the Ampeg® SCP-OD Overdrive pedal. It recreates the original distortion circuit, adding upper octave harmonic content to the direct signal to create a unique overdrive effect.

SVX-OCT
Based on the Ampeg® SPC-OCT Octaver pedal. Moving the octave knob will double your direct signal one octave below the direct signal, making your melodic lines richer and fuller, and expanding the frequency range.

Analog Chorus
A model of a classic analog Chorus/Vibrato. In Chorus mode the modulation is lush and slow, and in Vibrato the modulation is faster and more noticeable.

Analog Delay
This model is based on a classic analog delay with modulation stomp pedal.

Bass Wah
Modeled after a classic Wah pedal used by many top players in the 60’s and 70’s. The “auto” option produces the Wah effect automatically, meaning that there is no need for the manual intervention on the pedal position.

Compressor
This effect is modeled after a vintage compression stomp pedal and can deliver a strong sustain and powerful compression with lots of character.

Envelope Filter
A highly developed filter effect, this uses the envelope of the incoming signal to control a synthesizer-style filter. The sound palette’s range of this virtual unit is wide and rich.

Volume
A traditional volume pedal.

Groundbreaking Modeling Technology
There’s a special place in our history for this project. You see, it was our first opportunity to actually work and communicate directly with the engineers at a company making the gear we were modeling. In retrospect, this project was really ahead of its time

Today, IK is more than a pioneer in the digital tone generation and analog gear modeling field. With unique technologies like DSM™ (Dynamic Saturation Modeling), VRM™ (Volumetric Response Modeling) IK models have set the industry standard evidenced by co-branding recognition from the most influential partners in the industry such as Fender, Orange, Soldano, T-Rex, Jet City and many more.
