Ampeg RB-110

Ampeg · amplifier

The Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-110 is a 50-watt, 1x10-inch bass combo amplifier featuring Ampeg's Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive circuit and an SVT-inspired preamp voicing. Its three-band EQ and SGT drive deliver recognizable Ampeg warmth and slight midrange scoop in an entry-level portable format. A headphone output, aux input, and XLR DI make it useful for home practice, silent recording, and small-room rehearsal. It is the most accessible entry point into authentic Ampeg tonal character and suits students, home players, and bassists who need a lightweight practice-to-rehearsal amp.
