Ampeg Venture V7 700-Watt Solid State Bass Amplifier Head
The Ampeg Venture V7 bass amp head is a powerhouse of modern bass amplification, offering 700 watts of Class D power in a lightweight and compact design. Perfectly suited for the traveling bassist, this versatile amp head fits easily into a gig bag, laptop bag, or the optional Venture carrying bag, making it a go-to choice for musicians on the move. The V7 is the middle offering in Ampeg’s Venture Series, delivering ample power to drive any of the matching Venture Series cabinets or virtually any other bass cabinet you encounter on the road.
Engineered with an intuitive interface, the Venture V7 provides extensive tone-shaping capabilities that cater to contemporary bassists. It features a legacy preamp with a 3-band EQ and sweepable mids, allowing for precise tonal adjustments. The Ultra Hi and 3-way Ultra Lo switches further expand your sound options, while the Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive circuit delivers the gritty, saturated tones of the iconic SVT and B15 amp models. The onboard variable compressor ensures that your dynamics remain tight and controlled, whether in the studio or on stage.
Connectivity is comprehensive with the Venture V7, offering an effects loop with Mix control, an XLR direct output for seamless integration into any live or recording setup, an auxiliary input for playing along with backing tracks, and a dedicated headphones output for private practice. The dual Neutrik speakON outputs provide secure connections to your speaker cabinets, while the Preamp Out/Power Amp In feature offers even more versatility in shaping your sound.
Constructed with all-analog circuitry, except for the solid-state Class D amplifier, the Venture V7 maintains the warmth and musicality that Ampeg is known for, while providing the reliability and efficiency required by today’s bassists. Optional accessories, such as the AFS2 footswitch for remote control of the SGT overdrive and other functions, and a heavy-duty padded carrying bag, enhance the functionality and portability of this amp head, making it a comprehensive solution for bassists who demand both power and portability.
