Ampeg Venture V3 Bass Head
Venture Series V3 bass heads delivers the modern style and features sought by contemporary bassists. Their easy-to-use and intuitive controls include an extensive array of tone-shaping tools such as 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. All circuitry is analog except for the solid-state Class D amplifiers.
The ultra-portable 300-watt 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 excellent choice for the travelling bassist. Its Class D power section provides more than enough power to drive any of the Venture Series speaker cabs or practically any other cab bassists may encounter while touring.
