Ampeg SGT-DI

This could be the one.

 

Yeah it looks great.

 

Aux and IR Cab level are good moves, and the rest of the features check a lot of boxes.

Like everything but the name.

 

Uh oh..........where did my wife hide my wallet.

Edit: Sweetwater will have in my greedy little hands by Thursday!

 

VERY interested in this one.

 

Wow looks terrific! This is exactly the box that GK should have made when they put out the plex.

 

Judging by the USB input to load stuff in, this pedal seems to be digital; but I'm not completely sure? Analog / digital hybrid, maybe - like Hyper Luminal?

Let's see how soon someone will post a comparison video against Tech 21 VTDI or Origin BassRig.

 

Interesting pedal! here a less 'coloured' review:

 

This thing is loaded with features. I sure as hell didn't expect Ampeg to release something like this.

 

Ordered...this seems to be everything I wanted the SCR-DI to be! I had actually moved away from my pedalboard using the Ampeg sims in the HX Stomp to a rack mount Ampeg SVP-CL preamp, but I may go back to the pedal board after this arrives. This through the Khan DI will be quite the nice pedalboard rig!

 

I liked the SCR DI with the exception of it was the only preamp that I have ever had a clipping issue with. Both active and passive. People told me to turn the volume down on my bass but you shouldn't have to do that to get around it. The -15db pad also (to my ears) really dulls down the tone of the unit.

Hopefully this won't be an issue with this new SGT unit. I like the looks and the available features. Will have to listen to some demos later.

 

Cool unit. I love Ampeg stuff. I like my SCR-DI, I don't love it. This looks cool. Price is a little steep for me.

 

Well, I got mine

 

Ampeg's product description says the cab sim is digital and can be bypassed. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest is analog but I don't know.

 

I'm in a similar spot as you. I have a VTBass DI and think it does a very good job, probably better overall than the SDR-DI. I really like the idea of an Ampeg-branded B15/SVT pedal, but at $150 more than the VTBass DI, I probably will stick with that.

Maybe on a MF Stupid Deal of the Day in a few months...

 

Been using the SCR DI as a practice amp and the Tech 21 BBDI as my travel preamp for gigs where i don't have my rig.
This has me debating selling the SCR DI now and replacing it. Decisions decisions.

 

looks like they got tired of losing market share to Tech 21 with their VTBass stuff.
