Superior modeling powered by AmpliTube's unique DSM technology.
All of the Ampeg SVX amps and stomps are modeled "component by component" after the original by IK, and ear-tuned by Ampeg's legendary engineers. AmpliTube's unique DSM (Dynamic Saturation Modeling) technology is used to emulate analog and tube circuits down to a detail of finesse which cannot be offered by any other effects modeler.

The result is a truly accurate dynamic response carved at the highest precision level. Bassists will immediately feel like they are really playing through the high-end amp they are used to hearing only in the best hardware gear.
