Description
The Venture V12 delivers 1,200 watts via its Class-D power section—more than enough power to drive any of the Venture Series speaker cabinets or practically any other cab bassists may encounter on their travels. Featuring easy-to-use and intuitive controls, the Venture V12 offers an extensive array of tone-shaping tools, including a legacy preamp, 3-band EQ with sweepable Mids, Ultra Hi and 3-way Ultra Lo switches, a Super Grit Technology (SGT) Overdrive circuit with SVT and B15 voicings, and a highly musical variable compressor. An effects loop with Mix control, an XLR direct output, an Aux input, and a Phones output enhance connectivity, as do the Neutrik speakON outputs. All circuitry is analog except for the solid-state Class D amplifier.
Add an optional AFS2 footswitch (sold separately) for remote control of the SGT overdrive and other functions.

I'm really surprised that a tubeless amp sounds this good.
Close, but still needs refinement!

Unless you're ok with throwing your head on top of your cabinet like an 80s cable box, this head and series needs some serious help in the design arena. No handles. Terrible feet. No capabilities for anything "rack mount". Lacking in overall protection. And a gig bag that is equally lacking in forethought is absolutely useless. This head looks good sitting in your ad, but that's it. Not practical at all! Whoever designed this series, and the bosses who approved it should do the company a favor and retire. Feel free to contact me as I'm working to re-engineer this head for the real world. You're welcome!
