PREAMPS/POWER AMPS

As rack systems became more popular in the 1980s, Ampeg began offering components for their amplifiers. Most of their preamps and power amps are simply one component of a regular model, but they also offered original models such as the AP3550 and AP6500. Although some of these preamps and power amps were part of other series, they are listed in their own section to eliminate confusion. Ampeg also produced a preamp called the SVT-4 that put out 1600W and featured tubes.
