Ampeg SVX Convinces Even the Die-Hard Sceptics
Excellent review in "guitar" November 2007 issue

Read here how Ampeg SVX convinces even the die-hard sceptics:

"But does a bass player actually need such a plug-in? It should be more than fine to connect directly to the mixer and then to the computer, shouldn't it? Well, I used to think like that as well when I started to edit the bass track of a finished production, with a pretty sceptical mind I have to say – and got the surprise of my life! Amazing! The bass gained immediately more definition and came through a lot more clearly.
So there it was - a beautifully fat and heavy bass sound without having to tinker greatly with the EQ."

"The selection of the amps ranges from vintage to modern and gets you all the bass sounds which you need – all in great quality. I liked particularly the stomp effects which sound very authentic and musical. Just download the demo version and try out for example the Octaver. Just brilliant!"

"A recording bass player does not even get to the idea of trying anything else than going straight into the computer. After all, all the greatest bass sounds have always been recorded with amps and microphones. Well, Ampeg SVX does exactly that and damn well. The CPU is kept within a limit and all modern machines can easily handle the load, regardless of whether you are using PC or Mac. For the very brave: Ampeg SVX runs also "standalone" so that you can use it "live" without any sequencer." (Jürgen Richter, guitar 11/07)

Here are some quotes from the original review in German:

"Aber braucht man als Bassist überhaupt so ein Plug-in? Es reicht doch völlig, direkt ins Mischpult und dann in den Rechner zu gehen, oder? Dachte ich auch, habe eher skeptisch die Bass-Spur einer fertigen Produktion damit bearbeitet – und war begeistert! Mal ganz unabhängig von dem genau eingesetzten Model gewann der Bass sofort an Definition und Durchsetzungskraft. Ohne zu mulmen, hatte ich plötzlich einen schönen fetten und drückenden Bass, und das bereits ohne größere Schraubereien am EQ."

"Die Bandbreite der gewählten Amps reicht von Vintage bis modern und ermöglicht alle Bass-Sounds, die man braucht, in sehr guter Qualität. Vor allem haben mir in diesem Zusammenhang die Bodeneffekte gefallen, die alle authentisch und musikalisch klingen – ladet euch mal die Demoversion herunter und probiert zum Beispiel den Octaver aus. Klasse!"

"Als aufnehmender Bassist kommt man gar nicht auf die Idee, etwas anderes zu versuchen, als direkt in den Rechner zu gehen. Dabei wurden die besten Bass-Sounds schon immer mit Amps und Mikrofonen aufgenommen. Ampeg SVX leistet genau das und macht dabei einen verdammt guten Job. Die Prozessorenlast hält sich in Grenzen und wird von allen modernen Rechnern mühelos bewältigt, sei es PC oder Mac. Für die ganz Mutigen: Ampeg SVX läuft auch „standalone", so dass man sie ohne Sequenzer „live" einsetzen kann." (Jürgen Richter, guitar 11/07)
