All-New Ampeg SCR-DI!

[Ba55Man1ac]

Nice... but just not sure I can justify $400!

Musician's Friend now reads "Reserve Today! Expected to Ship 04-30-2015". That date was 4-3-15 last week. I hope that means they received and are in the process of shipping the initial pre orders.

Just found this. Not the greatest but it's something. Still waiting on Dino's video.

Anyone want to put some money on whether or not Dino uses the phrase "all out blow your face off distortion" in his upcoming demo vid?

lol. I'm really wanting to hear this thing on a low gain setting finger-style.

Seriously. Somebody please just play the thing like a normal person already. : )

Somebody get Pascal Mulot to demo this!*









*Yes, I am being sarcastic.

Looks like Amazon upped their price on the SCR-DI from $165 to $199.

Wow. It was 163 and some change a few weeks ago.

Glad I got mine when I did. They may have come under fire for selling them so cheap compared to the $199 that everyone one else is charging.

Now they just need to SHIP the ones that were ordered!

Ain't that the truth!

I hear ya! Pre-ordered mine almost 2 months ago. I check its order status every day.

Another VT comparison query; for me the VT tends to become more and more unnaturally "metallic" sounding as the drive knob increases. I'm curious if the Ampeg has a warmer more natural sounding overdrive?

That is in the ear of the beholder. Put it this way...I can't say it's the best overdrive I have ever heard in my life, but it's pretty good and pretty warm if you want...just turn treble down. To get the most out of the Scrambler, you need to use the tone controls with it, and it'll do quite well IMHO. Then again, I say the same thing about the VT so what do I know?

I just ran across this one. I must say the SCR-DI demos so far have been disappointing. How about some finger-style!

Wow...I really do hate the sound of a pick on a bass. All the videos so far don't seem to cover how it sounds with every technique.

I already preordered one from Musicians Friend awhile ago. I am no using it live because I have an SVT-CL but I want to replace my SansAmp with it that goes into my computer for practice and demo recordings.

Jimmy, do you have any insider knowledge of when the SCR-DI will start shipping? I originally ordered with March 1st was the ship date lol.
