Origin BassRig Super Vintage - Yay or Nay?
- Thread starter Meriphew
- Start date
It’s all that and more. I have a medium sized board built around the DCX, Super Vintage and Cali76 for my base clean tone, which I think is outstanding.
I have been slowly reading through the many pages on that thread.
It has the top spot in my pedal list. The only thing that can beat it is my all tube amp which weighs about 15x more.
There are several other good ones out there now (ampeg SGT, Humboldt bass simplifier..) but the origin wins in my opinion.

I wish the OE BassRIG SV also includes as good of settings/features for B-15, as the SGT-DI does. The choice would then be super clear to me. I'm very tempted to get both to try side-by-side and then return the one that isn't.

That would be interesting comp. I’ll be an enabler… do it.
It's a very good comparison video that I've listened to numerous times with headphones recently, but it's not enough for me to draw a conclusion.
The Ampeg SGT-DI is going to appeal to the B-15 guys first. Choosing an Origin BassRig for its SVT flavor over the Ampeg is just going to be dirt and metal guys splitting hairs over tone.
I bought the Ampeg. I put it in front of a PF-50T on top of a Mesa SW210. It’s excellent in either mode, B-15 or SVT. With a Peterson StroboStomp, a Keeley Bassist Compressor and a Cioks 4 I’ll have a new compact pedalboard. Significantly with no loss in volume from bypass or switching back and forth.

Besides being an effects pedal junkie?
Positive reviews made me curious. I bought it (cause I could), tried it and liked how it effected my tone. Tried it with the SV, and liked how that sounded too. I might be imagining this, but I dig how the DCX > SV > Cali76 play together as tone enhancers.

i have two DCX's and both Bassrigs.
Anything with ‘vintage Ampeg’ gets my attention.
I was disappointed with the Ampeg SGT DI for the B-15 sound. I have a real B-15 and the Fliptop emulation on the Zoom B6 is the closest thing I’ve found. Other good options are the Barber Linden EQ and the Broughton Fliptop. The Linden EQ is underrated for its versatility.

Sub'ed. Looking forward if Bassrig Super Vintage brought anything revolutionary to the game that is worth replacing my trusty VT BASS DI. Sure I could give a shot for myself but time is too tight for me right now, so i keep aware of you folks opinion

while i like my VT Bass and my VT bass Deluxe a lot, i personally think my Bassrig SV does a better SVT than either of my VT's do.
Worth the $$$ and a game changer IMO.
I loved my VT Bass DI, then FOMO kicked in and I got the BassRig's. I A / B'ed my Bassrig vs the VTBassDI and found the tone of the Bassrig was the one I preferred.. which I didn't think I would, so the Bassrigs now occupt a spot on my board, and the VTBassDI has gone back in its box.
i've been a VT fanatic since the v1 came out - i still use it when on a rock gig.
considering a pre to go direct into an power amp - curious, do you have any comments on the clean sounds VT vs origin?
the origin certainly seems to be an amazing pre. but, i know that i can get several very functional tones out of my VT.
they all sound great, but im specifically looking for that "full of life" clean tone i've gotten on real svt, primarily for fusion/ bridge pickup stuff.
