Ampeg and IK Team Up for Bass Amp Modeling Plug-In (Click for a close-up) January 23, 2005 IK Multimedia has teamed up with Ampeg, the legendary brand of bass amplifiers, to develop a virtual studio solution for bass amp modeling and effects: Ampeg SVX. Ampeg SVX will be the first product of this cooperation, making 20 bass-amps instantly available to computer musicians. Ampeg SVX allows you to mix and match between amps and cabinets of the most sought-after Ampeg bass amps including SVT Classic, the SVT 5 PRO, the BA500 and the B15R. All of the amps are modeled "component by component" after the original by IK, and ear-tuned by Ampeg engineers.
