Classic Ampeg Bass Tone in a Handy DI

Bass players have sought the legendary Ampeg tone for decades, and now you can tap into it in a convenient preamp pedal with the Ampeg SCR-DI. Plug in your electric bass guitar, use the Ampeg EQ, tone controls, and Scrambler Overdrive to conjure your ideal bass sound, then send it direct to the PA system with the balanced XLR output – a dead simple way to achieve monumental bass. You can also send a split of the signal, affected or unaffected, to your bass amp too if you choose. Considering it’s a great way to get outstanding tone in the studio too, Sweetwater can recommend the Ampeg SCR-DI to any bass player.

No matter what style of music you play, there are some sweet tones to be discovered with the SCR-DI.

Bass Scrambler Overdrive puts some hair on your soundWhen you need bass tone with aggression, kick on the Bass Scrambler Overdrive on the Ampeg SCR-DI. Drive and Blend controls let you dial in just the right amount of effect, from subtle harmonic enhancement to full-on grunge.

Smart connectivity for stage and studioAmpeg knows you need flexible options when you’re playing in different venues and studios. That’s why they packed the SCR-DI with a balanced XLR line out, an affected 1/4″ output, and an unaffected 1/4″ output. The XLR is the perfect choice for going direct to a PA or recording device, while the 1/4″ connections are ideal for connecting to a traditional bass amp too.
