Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The RB-112 is a solid, affordable option for gigging bassists or practice. It nails that classic Ampeg growl, especially with the SGT overdrive engaged, and the DI output is a real bonus. It's a great all-rounder for rock, blues, and even some funk – just be mindful of its limited headroom when pushing it hard.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's a decent approximation, but lacks the flexibility of a dedicated pedal; good for quick grit, but not nuanced tone sculpting.
It's surprisingly clean and well-balanced, making it suitable for both live DI and basic recording applications.
It offers a more authentic Ampeg character than many competitors, but its EQ is simpler than some more modern designs.
