Ampeg SGT-DI Preamp and DI Pedal

The SGT-DI preamp and DI gives modern bassists an entire rig in a single stompbox. It delivers an enhanced Super Grit Technology overdrive circuit featuring iconic Ampeg SVT and B15 voices, versatile 3-band EQ now with sweepable Mid circuit, Ultra-Hi and 3-way Ultra-Lo switches, a variable compressor, and an Aux /Headphone section. Plus! Introducing the first IR Loader/Cab Simulator from Ampeg. Choose from three classic factory cabs or up to three cabs of your own by using the free Ampeg IR Loader application.

What is an IR and why should I care
A speaker cabinet impulse response or "IR" is essentially a digital audio snapshot of a cabinet that captures the acoustic characteristics of that specific cab, along with the signal chain used to record it-microphone(s), preamp(s), cable, etc.-and the room in which it was recorded. IRs allow you to "virtually" switch between different cab sounds in the same way you would swap physical cabs.

SGT-DI is the first physical Ampeg product featuring IRs and IR loading.
SGT-DI comes with six preloaded Ampeg factory cab IRs, three of which may be replaced with your own:
• Cab Mode includes Ampeg Heritage B-15, Heritage SVT-410HLF, and SVT-810 Squareback IRs
• User Mode includes overwritable Ampeg SVT-112AV, SVT-210AV, and SVT-212AV IRs

The Cab Level control enables you to adjust and save the amount of cab IR sound in your signal. The IR Off Mode bypasses the IR circuitry altogether.

VOL/COMP
This is your preamp level control. Oh, and we decided to throw in a slammin' compressor.

Caution, Cabs On Board
Introducing the first IR Loader/Cab Simulator from Ampeg. Choose from three Ampeg factory cabs or three of your own using the Ampeg IR Loader application (visit ampeg. com/software for details).

Cab Level
Independent level control of your full-resolution IRs. Keep an eye out for that red peak LED to avoid clipping.

All-New Sweepable Mid
We took that 5-way Mid switch you know and love and gave you all the frequencies in between!

SGT Level
This is your SGT Overdrive level control. Tweak wisely.

Two Iconic SGT Voices
With just a flick of a switch you can tap into the tube magic of the hailed B-15 or the titanic SVT.

Super Grit Technology
Use the independent Grit and Level controls to go from a clean boost to mild tube-amp saturation to all-out monster SVT grind.
