Ampeg SVT-CL vs. SVT-VR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2021
- The Ampeg SVT-CL bass amplifier head is where you go for a truly vintage, classic bass tone. Power it on, give the tubes a moment to warm up, and you'll hear the sound you've heard on countless recordings and radio hits. The SVT-CL owes this legendary tone to its all-tube complement, featuring 11 tubes in all! The controls are straightforward and no nonsense. This baby is built for one thing: crafting a great bass sound.
The mighty 300-watt output of the Ampeg SVT-CL comes from the six 6550 power tubes. This drives the sweet, sweet tone generated by the 2 x 12AX7s in the preamp section, and the 2 x 12AU7s and 1 x 12AX7 in the driver section.
-------------
The Ampeg SVT-VR is a vintage reissue of an early 1970s "Blue-Line" SVT head. The preamp stage, power section, and even rocker switches emulate the exact signal path, tone, and vibe of the original rock 'n' roll workhorse. Authentic from its input jack all the way to its six 6550 output tubes, the SVT-VR is a must-have for rockers seeking that in-your-face Ampeg bass tone.

The CL 100% for me. The mids are just alien..
To compare the basic sound, the master of the CL should be full open and the gain should be used as 'master'.That explains the mid scoop of the VR. Just sayin'...
For one right off the bat he has the wrong input selected on the VR, Having owned both of these amplifiers the VR is definitely the better amp and its not really even close
The VR had a crazy mid scoop. The CL brought out more of the character and profile of the instrument.
The SVT CL is literally the best bass tone in the universe.
Had an amppeg years ago, was never happy with the sound, same as the sound of these amps...they sound like something is missing, you want a real tube bass amp go for old school tube traynor heads
Dudes, sorry but they are both barely on and sound completely different turned up. Except the last player only the CL is turned up? Crank them and eq to get the best tone out of each amps and forget matching eq because that doesn't work for a comparison of differently voiced amps. Just do a.. this is 6 different tones of each amp turned up to 6 or 7 at least .. Both sounded pamby .. If its too loud .. get a VB-4 maybe.. Rock on🤙
CL for sure
The trick is to jump ch1 into ch2 on the VR… it’s absolutely monstrous & I’m shocked most people don’t know about it
I’ve played a CL firsthand and it’s the thickest bass tone I’ve ever heard. The mids are just gorgeous.
Thank you for this video!!!
Awesome comparison. Between the two, I like the svt-cl model the most. It sounds warm and beefy.
I owned an SVT Classic for years and its the best amp I ever played on. Sold it because its also the loudest and heaviest thing to move around. Still, a beast of an amp.
Great! I love comparison videos where the person comparing amps/presets/cabs/younameit plays the same riff for both and does not change riff when switching between amps,etc.
Nothing like an old ALL tube SVT !!!! Beast !!!!
I'll also gladly have either but if I have to choose, it's the VR.
i had both for me it's the classic nothing beats it i still miss that amp 20 years later...
Any chance you guy’s could do this same head shootout again but through the same cab? Or both through one cab, and then both through the other cab? That would be awesome!
これは素晴らしい貴重なだと思います。ありがとうございます。
Idk man that CL was pretty damn epic to me
