What's in the Box
Rocket Bass® RB-108, RB-110, RB-112, RB-115, or RB-210 Amplifier, Power Cable, Quick Start Guide.
Introduction
Designed from the ground up, with Ampeg's industry standard tone and styling in mind, the all-new Rocket Bass combos feature the legacy Ampeg preamp and tone stack circuits with the widest range of classic Ampeg tones any Ampeg combo has ever offered. The new SGTTM (Super Grit Technology) overdrive circuit gives you the warmth and grit of a monster SVT® stack, packed into a lightweight combo that you can easily carry to any practice or performance.
Iconic black diamond vinyl, reminiscent of the most recorded bass amp of all time, the Ampeg B15, wraps the most lightweight cabinets Ampeg has ever built, without sacrificing ground shaking lows and classic Ampeg tone. Integrated DIs, effect loops, and aux in/phones out circuits provide the ultimate tools for any rehearsal or gigging situation.
Like all Ampeg products, your Rocket Bass combo is designed by musicians and built using only the best of components. Each combo is tested to confirm that it meets our specifications, and we believe that each amp is the best that it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new combo, please fully read this Owner's Manual, as well as the Important Safety Instructions included with your Rocket Bass series amp, before you begin playing.
Best of luck in all of your musical endeavors!
- And THANK YOU for choosing Ampeg! -
