Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.54% — moderately similar

The Ampeg Classic Analog Bass Preamp pedal (CABP, model F17-1) is an all-analog circuit bringing vintage Ampeg SVT preamp character to a compact bass pedal. The preamp section provides up to +18 dB of gain feeding a 3-band EQ: Bass +7/-20 dB at 40 Hz, Mid +5/-11 dB at 500 Hz, Treble +10/-10 dB at 4 kHz. Ultra-Hi and Ultra-Lo passive switches add a high-frequency shelf or a simultaneous bass boost with mid cut for classic SVT fat low-end tone. True bypass, 9V DC at 20mA, internal -15 dB input pad for active basses. Housed in a matte black all-metal enclosure at approximately street price.
