Ampeg VENTURE V12 Solid-State Bass Amplifier

Excellent sound, SGT technology has been proven over the years and works. basically all elements are intelligent. mix potentiometer on the loop, headphone output, possibility to play with the speaker disconnected, possibility to output to DI only dry bass or the whole amp. You have to account a bit for the power reserve of the D amps, after all they are a bit underpowered compared to the AB end stages. I've taken one star off because to be completely perfect, I'm missing, better, taller rubber feet (the heatsink is on the belly of the amp and it's better to leave more room there for more thorough cooling), would like to have a pulse option on the DI output, and for more versatility I'd add a quarter-inch jack on the tailpiece output - there may be situations where a speakon just isn't available or needed. Note the manufacturer has chosen a two-pole speakon for the output, so this should be taken into account before purchase (it is not compatible with a four-pole speakon) - so it requires a non-standard cable
