Ampeg 808 Kit - Sample Journal

Processing an 808 Through an Ampeg Bass Amp

{See video at top of page}

We have this sweet, vintage Ampeg tube bass amp that adds a lot of character to anything you run through it. It's especially great on drums, so we thought it'd be cool to run the 808 through it and grab some one-hits.

We ran the 808 directly into the normal and bright channels, and took the line out of the Ampeg into a DI, and into our API console.

The output volume of the drum machine determines the overall amount of distortion (from subtle to extreme!), and we further processed everything with the onboard EQs and normal / bright channels.

The results ranged from subtle coloration to extreme degradation. Download the hits for free here: https://samplesfrommars.com/blogs/the-sample-journal/processing-drums-through-an-ampeg-bass-amp
