Origin Effects Bassrig Fifteen

The BASSRIG Fifteen is an all-analogue amp simulator and DI pedal that provides bassists with authentic Ampeg B15 Portaflex tones, all in a compact package. The original Ampeg B-15 is a small, low-powered 1x15 valve combo, known for its warm and punchy sound. It’s revered as the sound of ‘60s soul music and considered to be the holy grail of recorded bass tones. A real favourite in the studio.

This pedal is the latest incarnation of our Amp Recreation circuitry – also seen in the RevivalDRIVE, DELUXE55 and other BASSRIG models – which uses carefully designed analogue circuitry to recreate the entire circuit of a vintage valve amp. This includes a simulated preamp, phase inverter, push-pull output stage, reactive load, rectifier sag and an all-analogue cabinet simulator. All this adds up to capture not only the sounds but also the feel of the B-15 amplifier, in the context of a modern DI rig.

The BASSRIG Fifteen also features our AMP OUT EQ circuit. This tweaks the sound from the ¼” output, getting you the unique response of the B-15’s ported cab, even with the most modern full-range bass amps. With premium quality components and a brushed stainless-steel enclosure, the BASSRIG Fifteen is built to the high standard you expect from Origin Effects.
