The Limited Edition Celebrates 75 Years of Legendary Ampeg Tone

Ampeg today introduced the SGT-DIยฎ Blue Line Anniversary Edition bass preamp and DI. It is functionally identical to the standard silver SGT-DI, but features graphics that spotlight a pivotal period in the companyโ€™s storied history.

“We’re proud to be celebrating Ampegโ€™s 75-year legacy of innovation and dedication to offering the highest quality bass amplification possible,โ€ said Dominic Liberati, Ampeg Product Manager. โ€œTo highlight that celebration, we created the SGT-DI Blue Line Anniversary Edition, inspired by the iconic โ€˜Blue Lineโ€™ look of our original 1969 SVTยฎ amplifier. It provides that classic flare without the weight!โ€

The SGT-DI is an โ€œall-in-one bass boxโ€ that gives modern bassists an entire rig in a single pedal. It delivers an enhanced foot-switchable Super Grit Technologyโ„ข overdrive circuit featuring sweepable mids, Ultra-Hi and 3-way Ultra-Lo switches, a variable 10:1 compressor, and an Aux /Headphone section.

The SGT-DI also features an IR Loader/Cab Simulator that lets bassists choose from three classic factory cabs or up to three cabs of their own by using the free Ampeg IR Loader application. Plus! The 75th Anniversary Free IR Pack, which includes the SVT-610HLF, SVT-810AV, and SVT-15E cabs, is available to owners who register their SGT-DI or SGT-DI Blue Line Anniversary devices. 

The SGT-DI demonstrates Ampegโ€™s commitment to honoring its legacy while also serving the needs of contemporary playersโ€”and the SGT-DI Blue Line Anniversary Edition celebrates that legacy!
