Ziphoblat Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi all, looking for some information about the Ampeg BA500 amp. I recently got Ampeg SVX (been using Amplitube for a while) and it has a model for the BA500 amp, which as I understand is (/was) a cheaper amp as Ampegs go. However, I love the sound I'm getting using just the pre-amp model for this amp. I'd like to try one out in the flesh, but I could only find them attached to those ugly combos. I seem to recall reading a while ago that they had the same pre-amp as a standalone pre-amp that Ampeg made for a time. Is this the case, or have I muddled my memory? I was able to find the B2-RE which looks to have a very similar looking pre-amp stage. Does anybody know if this is the same? And does anybody know if they did in fact make a standalone pre-amp that's the same as the one in the BA500? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grissle Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I believe most all the Ampeg combos share very, very similar if not the same basic preamp. From a little ba108 to a ba600 I've played the preamp circuits sounded close to identical, including a b100r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
