Origin Effects BassRig Ampeg B15 Fliptop recreation

I’d definitely buy it!

And while it might be expensive it’ll probably be cheaper than new tubes and a set up for my ‘67 B15 (with current tube prices).

I do hope it’ll get an XLR out and a switch to choose between the different B15 models. You have the two iconic 60’s models and while you’re at it: throw in the 70’s version too. That’s a bit more SVT’ish.

And of course the matching speaker sims.

I am a big fan of the OE gear btw. I’ve owned the SV for about two years which I use as my DI out to send a very accurate copy of my Ampeg SVT + 810 sound to FOH. I don’t even need to mic my stack up anymore. For drive I use their DCX Bass. All amazing stuff.

This would be my dream pedal basically. Been thinking about pulling the trigger on the Black Panel but what I really want is this. Considering how popular the B15 is on recordings, there’s a surprising lack of true B15 emulators out there (with cabsim).

@Origin_Effects one request I’d like to make if this were to become a reality: it’d be nice to be able to optionally have the cab sim on the 1/4” output. Similarly it would be nice to be able to optionally disable cab sim on the XLR output altogether.
 
Check Shift Line Flex

Actually just got one of these last weekend as one came up locally.

Still would love to see Origin do something in this vein. Noticed they have a prototype of something they’re working on; is it too much to hope it’s their take on the B15?

A 4-way switch would do this:

Off
XLR-only
1/4”-only
Both.
