Powerful yet portable and lightweight yet roadworthy, the series comprises the Venture V3, V7, and V12 heads and the Venture VB-112, VB-115, VB-210, VB-212, and VB-410 cabs. With their easy-to-use and intuitive controls, Venture Series heads offer an extensive array of tone-shaping tools that include 3-band EQ with sweepable mids, Ultra Hi and 3-way Ultra Lo switches, and a footswitchable enhanced Super Grit Technology™ (SGT™) Overdrive circuit with SVT/B15 voicings.
