The Best Small Bass Amp Ever?!

As the build of my new home studio continues, I'm trying to make the most of the space by setting up one of the most effective and compact practice amps I've ever owned.
The Ampeg Venture series V3 head with the 210 cabinet is proving to be both small and mighty.
I'm also unboxing the V7 amp which will now be my main touring head with a bunch more headroom for bigger gigs.

Aguilar is nice but your tone has been much warmer and phatter sounding in the videos lately. There’s just something about that ampeg sound.

I am so tempted to replace my SVT-4 Pro with either a V7 or a V12. Also, I always wanted a 8x8 and saw that they released one. My setup sounds killer, but I need something more light and versatile.

I’ve been looking to move back to Ampeg for years but never really acted on it. I may just go for the V3 and a 2x10 to replace my current TC Electronic combo. I miss the Ampeg coloration and, sir, just made me miss it a little bit more :)

I used the SVT 300 Watt head (all tubes, power and pre) on the road for 21 years along with a HLF 4x10 cabinet. There’s just nothing like Ampeg. Occasionally I would get an Aguilar rig for backline, and they’re just so sterile in comparison.

I'm considering getting the V3 to pair with my 210AV, even using two 210AV's if needed. I'm currently using a PF-20T with them but I like the feature of having a very small, very light and portable amp head with these cabinets. I had an Aguilar TH 350 which I loved but had to sell for reasons and I think the V3 might be the perfect replacement for that amp.

Love hearing you on different gear! It’s cool to see the slight changes amp/speakers make. I’ve been fighting to love my sound lately. Would love for you to go through your process of EQing (for live performance) sometime. That’s one thing I still struggle with.

@@paultraynorbsc627 Yip, saving up for the PF-20T at the moment. Just for recording, so don't massively need more power - and have an Ampeg Micro VR for louder, and those do actually sound damn good in their own right. I guess they're sort of the precursor to the Venture. Fan is a bit noisy though, but can be modded.

Janek. Does the V7 have too many watts for the Ampeg Venture 210? I have read that the v7 is too much for the 210. I am thinking of buying both but I don’t want to over power the 210.

I just bought a similar rig. The V7, 2x10, & 1x15. It sounds great. I use the full stack with a Stingray 5 HH and the SVT voicing for one band and just the 1x15 and my P Bass with the B-15 voicing for the other. I joke that the speaker cabinets must be movie props because they're so light.

@JordanIs.Online
@JordanIs.Online 3 месяца назад
Love the look of that v3. I'd love to get a head / cab set up but for what I play and where I play I can't justify it. I play almost exclusively in places that have in ear monitors so I just rock up with my HX Stomp and a DI pedal. At home I've got a Fender Rumble, which I love and works well for what I do at home but even then I sometimes run the HX Stomp to a computer and headphones. Trying to fight and work on my previous "gear" centric thinking and stay as minimal and functional as I can. If I ever get rid of this rumble that v3 and a cab maybe the next thing though.

In B15 mode, without the grit, are the Venture amps pretty neutral/flat?
@janekgwizdala
@janekgwizdala 3 месяца назад
the B15 mode with no grit is super nice and round. I wouldn't call it "flat" as the emulation is definitely doing something to the sound, but it's an incredibly useable and classic sound to work with. I use if often when I want that old B15 sound.

@@Minimalist1266 a few things to consider: 1) I didn’t get paid to make this video 2) I don’t get paid to play the gear 3) I make no secret of the fact that this is gear is sent to me as a result of me endorsing the product 4) Ampeg neither asked me to make the video nor knew I was making it until it came out and they saw it like everyone else. This gear video, like all the others on my channel, is simply my own opinion of gear I actually use on a daily basis. I accept zero dollars for demos and reviews, and have been totally transparent about that process for years.

@@janekgwizdala you are getting the product for free, aren't you? Ampeg is not doing this because they love you There is an expectation, either expressed or implied. It is naive to believe that your opinion is not biased. To make it clear, I'm not blaming you, I get it, everybody needs to make a living, but don't tell me otherwise.

@@squidpeanut yes. That’s the nature of a long-term partnership with a company where you play the gear literally every day. I am paid zero dollars. But I do have the luxury of occasionally being able to reach out to them to get gear I need for my profession. The only way this video should be labeled a paid advertisement is if I had been paid, if ampeg had asked me to make it or even knew about it in advance, or if I somehow benefited from reselling the gear. None of these things are true. I have a video coming soon about paid ads, reviews and gear demos. It will go into depth about the reality of music gear in the age of the internet.
@janekgwizdala
@janekgwizdala Месяц назад
@@Minimalist1266 you couldn’t be more wrong. There is nothing implied. In a relationship like the one I have with ampeg i actually stipulated beforehand that I was not required to make a single second of video content about their gear. If ampeg didn’t love me or what I’m doing, the relationship wouldn’t exist. Of course there is a gamble on their part that if they give me gear to play, I’m actually going to play it. And in doing so they will get exposure for their product. That isn’t paid advertising in the case of this video. They had no idea I was going to make it. It amazes me, just based on RU-vid comments alone, how clueless the internet is as a whole when it comes to this subject and I have been researching an in-depth video about it which I hope to release in the next couple of weeks.
