Ampeg has a little love for all the bass players out there, two new pedals: the Classic Analog Bass Preamp and the Scrambler Bass Overdrive. These two add to Ampeg’s popular SCR-DI Bass DI box.
The Classic Analog Bass Preamp pedal allows a wide range of authentic Ampeg tones with its three-band tone stack and highly flexible Ultra-Hi and Ultra-Lo circuits. The Scrambler Bass Overdrive pedal delivers a huge range of overdriven sounds—from minimally saturated all the way to over-the-top, flame-throwing. In addition to the Drive control, the Scrambler has a Treble boost control for more edge if required.
Both these new pedals feature an all-analog, true bypass design with a low signal-to-noise ratio design. They come built into all-metal enclosures and use either a 9V battery or a power supply—not included.
The Classic Analog Bass Preamp pedal sells for $99 MSRP.
