100 Watts of Classic Ampeg Power

The RB-112 delivers 100 watts of solid-state power through a custom 12-inch Lavoce speaker, producing full-bodied lows, punchy mids, and articulate highs.

Its responsive design makes it equally suitable for home practice, studio recording, and smaller performance environments. Despite its powerful sound, the RB-112 weighs just 25.9 pounds, making it easy to transport between rehearsals and gigs.

Ampeg Legacy Preamp – Signature Bass Tone

At the heart of the RB-112 is Ampeg's Legacy preamp, designed to deliver the warmth, depth, and character associated with the company's legendary bass amplifiers.

A traditional three-band EQ provides independent Bass, Midrange, and Treble controls, allowing players to shape their sound with precision.

Dedicated Ultra Hi and Ultra Lo switches offer additional tonal flexibility. Engage Ultra Lo for deeper bass response or Ultra Hi for added brightness and definition.

From vintage-inspired grooves to modern, aggressive bass tones, the RB-112 provides exceptional control over your sound.

Super Grit Technology – Built-In Ampeg Overdrive

The RB-112 features Ampeg's exclusive Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive circuit, delivering the rich harmonic character and gritty distortion associated with classic overdriven Ampeg amplifiers.

Dedicated Grit and Level controls allow players to dial in everything from subtle tube-inspired warmth to aggressive, saturated bass overdrive.

The SGT circuit is also footswitchable with a compatible optional footswitch, making it easy to switch between clean and driven tones during live performances.

Versatile Connectivity for Practice, Recording, and Performance

The Ampeg RB-112 includes a variety of practical connections designed to accommodate modern bass players.

An auxiliary input allows you to connect an external audio source and play along with your favorite tracks, while the headphone output provides a convenient solution for private practice.

An integrated effects loop makes it easy to incorporate external pedals and effects into your signal chain.

For live performances and studio applications, the balanced XLR direct output provides a professional connection to a mixing console, PA system, or recording interface.

Vintage Ampeg Styling in a Portable Package

The Rocket Bass RB-112 combines classic Ampeg visual styling with a durable, lightweight cabinet designed for everyday use.

Its vintage-inspired appearance pays tribute to Ampeg's rich history, while its modern construction and practical features make it a dependable amplifier for today's bassists.

With its combination of powerful tone, intuitive controls, built-in overdrive, and convenient connectivity, the Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-112 is an outstanding choice for players seeking authentic Ampeg sound in an affordable, portable combo amplifier.
