Ampeg call their SGT-DI Preamp and DI "the all-in-one bass box" because it gives modern bassists an entire rig in a single, compact pedal! The SGT-DI delivers an enhanced Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive circuit featuring iconic Ampeg SVT and B15 voices, versatile 3-band EQ (now with sweepable mids), 3-way Ultra-Hi and Ultra-Lo switches, a variable compressor, and an aux/headphone section. The Ampeg SGT-DI Preamp and DI pedal can therefore serve as a "command centre" for your pedalboard, allowing you to plug in and play anywhere!

The SGT-DI Preamp and DI also introduces the first IR Loader/Cab Simulator from Ampeg. You can choose from three classic factory cabs or up to three cabs of your own by using the free Ampeg IR Loader application. Combining time-tested Ampeg tone with modern capabilities, the SGT-DI demonstrates Ampeg's commitment to honouring their legacy while also serving the needs of contemporary players.

Key Features

  • 3-Band EQ with a concentric, sweepable mid-range frequency selector.
  • Super Grit Technology (SGT) circuit that provides more of the warm, gutsy growl that defines Ampeg tone!
  • All-analogue SVT & B15 voicing circuit works as an enhancement to the SGT circuit, replicating the grit and harmonic distortion of these two iconic amplifiers when played at different levels.
  • Onboard IR loader/cab simulator lets you choose from three classic factory cabs (Heritage B15, Heritage SVT-410HLF, and vintage "square-back" SVT810), or up to three cabs of your own by using the free Ampeg IR Loader application. Volume for the IR loader is controlled via a push-and-release control on the side of the pedal.
  • Ultra-Hi and 3-way Ultra-Lo switches allow for extra tone-tailoring.
  • Built-in variable 10:1 compressor keeps your tone dynamic and level.
  • Aux/headphone section, which includes a push-and-release volume control.
  • Balanced XLR and 1/4" line outputs with a ground lift switch.

Specifications

  • Size (H x W x D): 2.5 x 7.4 x 4.9 inches / 65 x 189 x 126 mm
  • Weight: 1.9 lbs / 0.85 kg

Brand

Ampeg

Yamaha Guitar Group, Inc. (YGG) acquired the Ampeg brand in 2018—bringing it under the same roof as Yamaha basses/guitars/amplifiers and digital innovators Line 6. Honouring 70+ years of celebrated Ampeg history and the 50th anniversary of the amplifier that put Ampeg on the rock ‘n’ roll map, the first thing developed by YGG was the Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT, a product that quickly became one of the most requested amplifiers amongst touring artists and backline companies.

Amp & Cab Simulator Pedals

Amp and cabinet simulators reproduce the gain stages, tone stack, power-amp response, loudspeaker colour and microphone character of a recorded amplifier chain. Analogue circuits, digital models and impulse responses approach this in different ways. The important distinctions are the available amp and cabinet types, editable microphone or room settings, latency, output routing, preset recall and whether speaker simulation can be bypassed for a real amplifier.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

Compressor

Narrows dynamic range by reducing gain when the signal crosses a level threshold. Attack preserves or softens the initial pick transient, release shapes the recovery, ratio controls the strength of reduction, and blend restores uncompressed detail alongside sustain and level consistency.

EQ

Raises or lowers defined frequency regions. Fixed-band graphic controls provide direct visual shaping, while parametric controls vary centre frequency and bandwidth; the available range and filter width determine whether the change is broad tonal balance or narrow corrective filtering.

IR Loader

Convolves the signal with an impulse response, a captured measurement of a cabinet, speaker, microphone, room or other linear system. File length, sample rate, latency, storage and routing determine the detail of the captured response and how flexibly it can be combined.
