Yamaha Australia is now the official distributor and importer or Ampeg.

Yamaha Guitar Group, Japan, acquired the Ampeg brand on the 10th May 2018.
Ampeg is one of the most recognised bass amplification brands worldwide and was one of the first manufacturers of bass amplifiers and joins Line 6 in the Yamaha brand group.
Ampeg built the first bass combo and was the first to include reverb in a guitar amp.

Co-president of Ymaha Guitar Groups Marcus Ryle said “Ampeg is arguably the most recognised bass amp brand in the world. They can even be credited with having invented the first bass amp. We are honoured to take the baton in continuance of that legacy.”
And so it is a natural progression for Yamaha Music Australia to take on the local Ampeg agency.
