Our Opinion
An excellent option for players looking to capture the classic Ampeg tone without relying on a specific head. It works especially well as an always-on pedal to add body and personality to your base sound, but also allows quick tonal adjustments with the Ultra-Hi and Ultra-Lo controls to change the bass character within a mix.
Simple, compact, and straightforward—ideal for those seeking an analog preamp without additional features that complicate operation.
