Ampeg Venture V3 300-watt Bass Head

Ampeg Venture® Series amplifiers and cabinets deliver the modern style and features sought by contemporary bassists—continuing a tradition of innovation that stretches back to the dawn of the electric bass. The ultra-portable Venture V3 is the smallest and lightest of the three heads in the Venture Series and easily fits into a gig bag, a laptop bag, or the optional Venture carrying bag, making it an ideal head for the traveling bassist. The Venture V3 delivers 300 watts via its Class D power section—more than enough power to drive any of the Venture Series speaker cabinets or practically any other cab bassists may encounter on their travel.

Featuring easy-to-use and intuitive controls, the Venture V3 offers an extensive array of tone-shaping tools that include a legacy preamp, 3-band EQ with sweepable Mids, Ultra Hi and 3-way Ultra Lo switches, and a Super Grit Technology™ (SGT™) Overdrive circuit with SVT® and B15 voicings. An effects loop, an XLR direct output, an Aux input, and a Phones output enhance connectivity, as does the Neutrik® speakON® ¼" combo output. All circuitry is analog except for the solid-state Class D amplifier. Add an optional AFS2 footswitch for remote control of the SGT overdrive and other functions, and an optional heavy-duty pad.
