Get Ampeg amp tones without an amp! The SCR-DI a DI box and preamp with a built-in Scrambler overdrive circuit. Players looking to ditch the amp can use it to get great-sounding amp tones straight into a PA system or audio interface. If you prefer to have an amp in your rig then the SCR-DI can open up new tones and functionality allowing you to send your signal to both an amp and another location.

Classic Ampeg Tones

If you look at the face of the SCR-DI, you'll find it closely resembles the controls on an Ampeg amp. There's a volume control as well as the familiar three-band EQ consisting of Bass, Mid, and High for precise tone shaping. Like the amps, the SCR-DI features an Ultra-Hi and an Ultra-Lo switch which you can engage to quickly add extra high- or low-end emphasis.

The SCR-DI features the Scrambler overdrive circuit for that classic warm, thick Ampeg overdrive tone. The sound of an overdriven Ampeg amp is iconic, and with the Scrambler you can get that growling overdrive tone without having to buy a very loud, heavy, and expensive vintage Ampeg amp. The Scrambler controls include a blend knob for blending the dry and effected signals for an overdriven sound that retains clarity and definition.

DI and Preamp

As the SCR-DI is both a DI and a preamp it offers an impressive amount of functionality whether you use an amp or not. This pedal features both a 1/4" output, a balanced XLR output, and an unaffected 1/4" Thru output so you can send your signal to an amp, mixer, PA system or an audio interface. With the SCR-DI you could send one signal to an amp or PA, and one signal to an audio interface so you can perform live and record at the same time.

Other features include a headphone output for silent practise, and an aux input with level control so you can play along to backing tracks.

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.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.

Preamp & Amp Sim Pedals,

Amp and cab simulator pedals recreate the sound and response of guitar amplifiers, speaker cabinets and microphones in a compact pedal format. They are useful for recording direct, practising silently, running straight into a PA, or building a pedalboard that does not rely on a traditional amp.

Many amp and cab sims include different amplifier voices, impulse responses, EQ controls and headphone outputs. They are a strong choice for modern guitarists who need consistent tone at home, in the studio and on stage without carrying heavy amplifiers and speaker cabinets.
