Ampeg | Dino Monoxelos On The Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT Bass Amp

Ampeg | Dino Monoxelos On The Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT Bass Amp

Ampeg Brand Marketing Manager Dino “The Ampeg Guy” Monoxelos details and demonstrates the Ampeg Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT bass amplifier head—the SVT for the 21st century. Handmade in the U.S.A., the Ampeg 50th Anniversary SVT distills the legendary amp’s most celebrated circuits into a single stage-ready head that integrates a host of must-have modern technology.

For this new SVT, Ampeg surveyed its loyal customers to ensure that the design met and surpassed their wish list. That’s why the Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT offers two discrete preamp channels that duplicate the revered tone from the amp’s most desirable eras: the original 1969 “Blueline” SVT and the mid-70s Magnavox design—and the two can be jumped together. Specially sourced and matched Ampeg Super Valve 6550 tubes complete the picture.

While the period-correct graphics and fonts and etched panel firmly reinforce the Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT amp head’s vintage aesthetic, contemporary features like a newly enhanced balanced XLR DI output, user biasing, whisper-quiet fan, and Neutrik speakOn speaker outputs place its construction firmly in the present.

• The 1969 “Blueline” and mid-1970s Magnavox-era circuits in one amp
• Handmade in the U.S.A. from durable top-shelf components
• Detailed, period-correct graphics and fonts
• Modern features include a newly enhanced XLR DI output, user biasing, speakOn outputs, and spring-loaded side handles
• Specially sourced and matched Ampeg Super Valve 6550 tubes
• Not a reissue—the ultimate SVT for today

Thanks to having built-in step sequencers, the Behringer MS-1, POLY-D, CRAVE and ODYSSEY are fantastic tools to help build the backbone of your next track!

This week we have the returning champion Madden Klass on the show to discuss the Top 5 drumming influences that shaped her playing style. Currently a student at Berklee, Madden also plays with Raavi and the Houseplants, Space Junk is Forever, Mike Doughty, Wheatus, a newer band called Mæges and many more. She was one of the last guests before we switched over this newer format and I’ve wanted to get her back on ever since. Her first episode was a very interesting deep dive into her theories on technique and practicing…so go check that out. It’s chock-full of great advice from both Madden herself and teachers that have helped her along the way. She really is one of my favorite drummers and I can’t wait to see what her career becomes. I’m seriously having such a good time with these interviews and discovering drummers that have really started changing my own playing. Thank you for coming on this journey with me and enjoy my fruitful conversation with the great Madden Klass.

This episode is also sponsored by Waves Audio. This podcast would take me soooo much longer to edit if it wasn’t for the Waves Vocal Rider plugin. It "rides" the fader in real-time and keeps both my and my guest’s audio at a consistent level without the need to over compress. I also use an endless of amount of their plugins for my musical recordings such as Abbey Road Saturator, CLA Drums, the SSL Channel, and many more.
