Origin Effects BassRIG Super Vintage Overdrive & Preamp Pedal

Full Description

Authentic SVT amp tone in a compact format

The Origin Effects BassRIG Super Vintage Overdrive & Preamp Pedal brings the unmistakable character of the iconic Ampeg SVT amp into a compact and portable stompbox. Using a full analogue signal path, this pedal recreates the SVT’s class-A preamp and push-pull output stage with exceptional detail, delivering all the valve-like warmth, depth and punch that defined bass tones on countless records and stadium stages. You can dial in anything from clean articulation to rich overdrive, with the full tonal range of a classic amp rig, all in a format that fits neatly on your pedalboard.

Studio-ready DI with cab simulation

At the heart of the BassRIG Super Vintage is a powerful balanced XLR DI output equipped with a meticulously designed analogue cabinet simulator. Modelled after the classic 8x10 SVT cab, this simulation provides a full, authentic speaker-voiced tone straight to front of house or a recording interface. The cab sim can be set to run at all times or only when the pedal is active, giving you extra flexibility in more complex setups. This makes the BassRIG an ideal tool for live performances and recording sessions, delivering consistent tone without the need for a mic’d cabinet.

Customisable output with Amp Out EQ

One of the standout features of the BassRIG Super Vintage is its proprietary Amp Out EQ section, allowing you to fine-tune the signal going to your on-stage amp without affecting the DI tone. With separate LF and HF trimmers and a HORN CUT switch, it compensates for everything from small combo amps to large, tweeter-equipped cabinets. You can easily adapt to different backline setups or stage environments and get the same rich, well-balanced sound every time. This flexibility means you’ll always sound your best, no matter what gear you’re plugged into.

Road-tough design built in England

Constructed for life on the road, the BassRIG Super Vintage is housed in a hand-polished, brushed stainless steel enclosure with aluminium knobs, Neutrik® jack sockets and a heavy-duty footswitch. Its high-impedance buffered bypass ensures silent, reliable switching with minimal signal loss. Designed and built in England, it reflects Origin Effects’ commitment to quality and precision engineering. Every detail is crafted with care, from its robust construction to its sleek finish, offering a professional pedal companion for live and studio use.
