Ampeg SGT-DI Bass Preamp Pedal and DI | Sweetwater

The big question for me…
Can the SGT-DI displace the Tech21 VT Bass DI?

Just wait a few more days - either @John_E or @Al1885 will have one by the weekend, I am sure :joy: They can tell you all about it on Monday :grin:

Seems like a real cool pedal!

(@Paul just mentioned it in the GAS thread also!)

This one actually sounds more like an Ampeg than the SCR-DI.

Here’s a big thread over at TalkBass…

Not a lot of real information in there yet but one person has already got one after ordering the same day the SGT-DI came out. So far it’s just opinions and promises of reviews.

One cool thing about this, we can expect a flood of the previous model (SCR-DI) hitting the used market. Which will be great for anybody needing a good headphone amp.

The SCR-DI itself is fine overall but the Scrambler does indeed suck bad (IMO).

If the clean is good and if the used prices drop, why not :smiley:

Oh dear. Finally listened to this pedal. Wow.
I didn’t go for the Origin Effects BassRig vintage pedal because of no B-15N but man this one has everything and sounds great. Might just be replacing my VT-bass DI after all.

if the prices of the VT Bass DI drop, it will be interesting, at least for me :smiley:

Nate is fantastic but entire demo is invalidated by the fact that he evaluated an Ampeg preamp without once using a P-Bass.

The Spector doesn’t count :slight_smile:
