From Ampeg:

The All-In-One Bass Box
The SGT-DI preamp and DI gives modern bassists an entire rig in a single stompbox. It delivers an enhanced Super Grit Technology overdrive circuit featuring iconic Ampeg SVT and B15 voices, versatile 3-band EQ now with sweepable mids, Ultra-Hi and 3-way Ultra-Lo switches, a variable compressor, and an Aux/Headphone section. Plus, the first IR Loader/Cab Simulator from Ampeg — choose from three classic factory cabs or up to three of your own using the free Ampeg IR Loader application.

What is an IR and why should I care?
A speaker cabinet impulse response (“IR”) is a digital audio snapshot of a cabinet that captures its acoustic characteristics, the signal chain used to record it (microphones, preamps, cable), and the room. IRs let you virtually switch between different cab sounds the way you would swap physical cabs.

The first physical Ampeg product featuring IRs and IR loading.
SGT-DI comes with six preloaded Ampeg factory cab IRs, three of which may be replaced with your own:

• CAB MODE: Ampeg Heritage B-15, Heritage SVT-410HLF, and SVT-810 Squareback IRs
• USER MODE: overwritable Ampeg SVT-112AV, SVT-210AV, and SVT-212AV IRs
• CAB LEVEL control adjusts and saves the amount of cab IR sound in your signal
• IR OFF MODE bypasses the IR circuitry altogether
