So you’ve searched high and low for the perfect bass amp, and have all but given up, because your dream amp is maybe just that, a dream. You know, the one with a zillion watts, and gobs and gobs of tone. It really does exist, you just haven’t played through it yet—meet the SVT-6PRO!

Ampeg’s SVT-6PRO combines all the beautiful tone of tubes with the solid-state reliability of a MOSFET output stage, to provide massive output and a virtually unlimited tone palette. An onboard 4-Band Semi-Parametric EQ section gives you +/-18dB of adjustment per band, so you can dial in even the most subtle tonal nuances. And the power amp section delivers a whopping 1100 watts RMS at 4 ohms! SVT-6PRO also features built-in Compression at the input stage, and a Tube Voltage control for adjusting the response of the power amp driver tubes.

The SVT-6PRO is designed for the serious player who demands the ultimate tone-shaping machine, in a convenient, high-powered, rackmount package. Just ask Tom Hamilton (Aerosmith), Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck/Ima Robot), or Garry Beers of INXS, and they’ll tell you why the Ampeg SVT-6PRO is the top choice of professional bass players the world over.

svt-6 pro head

Rating: 9/10

I bought mine a few months ago, and it\'s one of the last US made.
I love this head and I regularly gig with it, but it takes time to understand how the single controls work; maybe I\'d better say \"interact\".
The key to dial in the sound you want is the tube voltage control, that dramathically changes the response of the amp.
Does it sound Ampeg? Definitely YES, altough (more than \"all tube\" Ampegs) it prefers matching with Ampeg cabinets.
I have tested the 6pro through lots of cabinets, but unfortunately nothing beats the svt-810E or the svt-410HLF in delivering \"classic Ampeg tone\", altough I must admit that I liked very much the way it sounded through two 8 Ohms Eden d-410XLT\'s and through the Aguilar GS-412.
The cooling fan is a bit noisy, but at the volumes the 6pro is supposed to be played at...you won\'t notice it!
Choose carefully the rack in which you\'ll mount it, since it\'s incredibly deep and heavy (no abs cases IMHO).
Last but not least... it has an excellent and very professional sounding tube transformer balanced D.I.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend this head, and I wish I had bought it before!
If you come across an American made one do yourself a favour....buy it!

Wow is all I can say!
I purchased the svt-6 pro a couple of weeks ago and i was expecting something brilliant but oh my god this is amazing.
I hit my first note and it sounded like the apocolypse was coming.
I have never heard such a great low-end on an amp before.
I play in a band called Dissolvedin which is an alternative pop rock band and the bass is very important to us.
The first show i played with this literally the whole room was rumbling. I had some of our fans at the end of our show coming up to me and saying, " that new bass amp sounds ridiculous. I could feel my heart rattling inside my rib cage."
I would recommend this amp to any seroius bass playing it has everything you need for any type of music.
I tonks out over 1000watts at 4 ohms which is enough to make global warming dissapear.
I use a yamaha active bass and the Ampeg svt-410hlf and the svt-6 pro.
10/10 for this its beautiful i call it the Princess of Bass!
