Delivering that legendary tone, the hand-built and hand-wired in the U.S. Ampeg Heritage B15 truly lives up to the iconic standard set by inventor Jess Oliver 50 years ago. The classic flip-top, double-baffle cabinet and all-tube head with two distinct channels and bias modes meticulously recreate the world's most sought-after bass tone.
The Heritage B15 features the circuit paths of both a 1964 and 1966 B15, including classic Baxandall EQ controls and premium 6SL7 octal preamp tubes along with a bias switch, recreating each years' distinctive bias methodology.
