The Ampeg Venture V3 is a 300 watt bass amp head that sits in the sweet spot between the compact Micro-VR and the full SVT rig. If you are playing venues where the Micro-VR is not quite enough headroom but you do not want to haul a full SVT stack, the V3 is the answer. Three hundred watts gives you real stage volume and clean headroom, and the Ampeg preamp voicing means you are getting that warm, authoritative low end character the brand is known for.

The preamp section gives you a three band EQ with a sweepable mid, which is a meaningful upgrade over fixed mid controls. Being able to dial in exactly where your mid frequency sits lets you cut through a dense mix or pull back when you need to sit under the guitars. The ultra hi and ultra lo switches add the same presence and low end extension options you get on the bigger SVT heads. The built in compressor smooths out your dynamics without killing your attack, which is useful whether you are playing fingerstyle, slap, or pick.

The XLR DI output with a ground lift handles any live venue situation. Run post EQ so the board gets your shaped tone, or pre EQ if the sound person wants to work with a clean signal. The effects loop lets you integrate pedals or rack effects cleanly. The headphone output with a cabinet simulator covers silent practice and late night sessions.

The V3 pairs with any 4 or 8 ohm cabinet. Run it with the SVT-210AV for a compact portable rig, or drive a larger cabinet when the room demands it. This is a head built for players who gig regularly and need something that handles a range of venues without compromise.
