When the SVT® debuted back in 1969, nobody predicted what the following five decades would bring. Sure, the 300-watt all-tube behemoth set a new bar for bass amps and gave birth to the modern era of bass-forward music, but who would’ve thought it would still be the go-to rig for touring pros in 2020?

To celebrate 50 years of all-tube supremacy, we recently debuted the HeritageTM 50th Anniversary SVT—a best-in-class homage to a half-century of killer tone. It’s our way of telling a sonic story with all the best features from the amp’s historic run in one amazing head. But we know you have some SVT stories of your own, and we would love to hear them! To prove it, we’re giving away a number of prizes to some lucky winners who have the best SVT tales to tell.
This month, you can win an Opto Comp Analog Optical Compressor pedal!

To enter, upload a video or image of your SVT to your Instagram account and share your SVT story. Make sure to add the #SVT50 hashtag, and that you’re following Ampeg. That’s it! Good luck!
