Ampeg: Iconic bass amplifiers for all genres

Ampeg is one of the most renowned brands in the field of bass amplification and is known for its characteristic sound, which is appreciated by bassists all over the world. The Venture series combines Ampeg's legendary sound quality with modern design and powerful Class D technology. The Venture V7 is the mid-range model in the series and offers a comprehensive feature set that makes the Ampeg sound accessible in a compact and lightweight format. With the typical robustness and excellent sound quality that characterize Ampeg products, the Venture V7 is a great choice for professional bassists.

700 Watt Class D power amplifier for powerful sound

The Ampeg Venture V7 has a Class D power amplifier with an output of 700 watts at 4 ohms. This powerful amplifier is capable of driving even large speaker cabinets with deep and precise bass. Despite its enormous power, the amplifier remains surprisingly light and compact, making it ideal for musicians who are on tour or travel frequently. Class D technology also ensures high energy efficiency and prevents excessive heat build-up, so the V7 performs reliably even during long gigs.

Legacy preamp with 3-band EQ and sweepable mids

A particular highlight of the V7 is the Legacy preamp, which delivers the characteristic Ampeg sound with clear and powerful bass. The integrated 3-band EQ enables precise tone control and ensures that the sound can be optimally adjusted in any playing situation. The sweepable mid frequencies function is particularly useful, allowing the bassist to tune the mids to the exact frequency desired. This offers maximum flexibility when shaping the sound and is ideal for individually shaping your own sound.

Ultra Hi/Ultra Lo switch for additional sound character

The Ampeg Venture V7 offers extended sound options with the Ultra Hi and 3-way Ultra Lo switches. The Ultra Hi switch boosts the high frequencies and gives the sound additional clarity and presence - perfect for slap bass techniques and funky grooves. The Ultra Lo switch offers three different settings to emphasize the bass range and create a rich, punchy sound that defines the typical Ampeg sound. These switches expand the tonal diversity of the V7 and allow it to adapt perfectly to different styles of music.

Foot-switchable SGT overdrive circuit with SVT and B15 voicings

The Venture V7's SGT overdrive circuit provides a footswitchable way to add analog overdrive to the sound and vary the tonal character. This overdrive function offers two classic Ampeg voicings: the SVT voicing, which emulates the legendary SVT sound with powerful overdrive and rich overtones, and the B15 voicing, which simulates the warm and smooth sound of the B-15 Portaflex amplifier. Both voicings offer a great way to customize the sound according to style and mood and to create the characteristic Ampeg tone.

Integrated variable compressor for dynamic control

Another useful feature of the Ampeg Venture V7 is the variable compressor, which offers precise control over dynamics. The compressor allows the bassist to regulate the dynamic range and maintain a consistent volume. This is particularly useful for live performances, as the compressor makes the bass more assertive and controlled without drowning out individual notes in the mix. The variable compressor is intuitive to use and can be seamlessly integrated into the sound.

Lightweight design and ideal transportation options

Weighing just 3.1 kg, the Venture V7 is exceptionally light and compact, making it perfect for mobile applications and transportation. The amplifier fits easily into a gig bag, laptop bag or the specially designed Venture carrying case (optionally available). This mobility makes the V7 the perfect choice for bassists who are often on the road and prefer a powerful, lightweight setup. The robust construction and well thought-out design ensure that the V7 will withstand even intensive use on the road.
