Solid Gold FX

SOLID GOLD FX Beta V


The BETA-V from SolidGoldFX is a Bass Preamp pedal that kicks! This latest incarnation of SGFX’s top selling Beta Series is designed to capture the warmth and grit of favorite vintage tube amps. You know, that distinctive drive and tone that seems to be lacking from much of today’s modern bass amplification. 

Yes, we all know the convenience of a lightweight “sub 10 lbs” bass head that pumps out 500 watts and a neo cab that doesn’t require a roadie crew or chiropractor is great, but there is something extremely satisfying in the way that big, old Ampeg-style tube setups compress, clip and round out your signal. However, With the BETA-V you can finally have the best of both worlds - bone-shaking mojo-packed dirt, all wrapped up in modern and easy to use convenience.

Main Features:

  • Bass Preamp and Overdrive effects pedal
  • Designed to capture the warmth and grit of vintage tube amps
  • Low-Pass filter with 2 settings
    • 0 - no low pass filter
    • 1 - mid bump
    • 2 - mid scoop
  • Drive control, from mild grit to warm overdrive
  • Active 2-band post-Gain EQ
  • True-Bypass switching
  • Hand-made in Montreal, Canada
  • Powered by a regular 9-18 V DC PSU
    (center -, 2,1 mm, 13 mA current draw at 9 V)

Our classic Beta bass architecture has been reworked and expanded, delivering a wider range of tones. The low-pass filter now has 2 settings for bumped or scooped-mids as well as a center bypass setting for a more transparent experience. Plus, the Drive control has been reworked for lower gain applications or hotter basses.

Most importantly, the BETA-V sports an active 2-band post gain EQ allowing you to boost or cut your highs and lows with a flat response in the center. Dialing in anything from punchy overdriven Lemmy tones to the fattest, deepest soul shaking dub is only a few knob twists away. Complete with top-mounted jacks, soft touch true bypass switching and 9-18 V DC operations, the BETA-V is a true thump machine, ready to rock your world.

Subtle, but Effective

Really like what the BetaV brings to my rig. I currently am using a Mesa tt800, driving Bergantino NXV cabs. What more could I possibly need? , the Solid gold fx BetaV! It is subtle, but very nuanced, dialed in, the overall sound is sublime! I didn't think I would like it, as much as I do. I can highly recommend for mesa subway series amps.

Solid pedal.

File under 'always on'
A lovely low gain sound, completely different approach from the Finnish sound which is what I was after.
