Ampeg

The brands' baptism of fire came in the late '60s - a time where rock and roll dominated the music scene. Bands were getting louder and louder, and were searching high and low for gear that would withstand the most rigorous touring cycles and simultaneously blow the heads of their audiences. 

Enter the SVT amps; these beasts came complete with a health warning, as they were known for damaging the hearing of paying punters at shows. Of course, this is exactly what acts like The Rolling Stones were after. They immediately took them on tour as part of their setup. 

Fast forward to the present day, and Ampeg are still going strong. Their range encompasses not only an updated SVT, but valve combos and heads, solid state amps and even pedals too!
