Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? So far so good. The tolex isn't peeling on mine, so maybe they've got that solved. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? The extreme lightweight of this amp is fabulous. It is a rather anemic 150 watts though. I get way more volume out of a 60 watt Vox and a 100 watt Fender Rumble. Sound How is the tone? Tone is very Ampeg. Thru the Av210 cabinet, the low end distorts a bit too much. This amp sure doesn't feel like 150watts into 8 ohms. General Your general opinion of this product. Cute, easy to move, quite under powered though. Won't cut it for most gigs. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Signature Ampeg tone. What more can be said.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Nope. I bought it new, I used two compatible 2-10" ampeg cabinets with it at 8 ohms each. Two weeks later I could smell a burning wire odor while I was practicing even while my volume was low, gain was at 4 o'clock and volume was at 3 o'clock. Then suddenly it lost its volume drastically with a distorted sound. Returned it to the seller(not AMS)and got my refund. I bought the Ampeg Portaflex PF500 Bass Head from AMS instead. I did some research on AMPEG products, they are now made in China not USA, but only the SVT Heritage is made in the USA. This is a common problem with the Micro VR bass amp head,it can conk out(burn out)on you and lose power. Ampeg Quality is not the same as in the past when the Ampeg products were made in the USA. I wish I kept my SVT with 8 10" speakers cabinet when I bought it in the early 70's. Had to sell it because it was too heavy to lug around to the gigs. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? Has that SVT sound and very light weight compared to my old SVT head back in the 70's. Sound How is the tone? Good classic SVT sound. A little too much midrange on the sound. General Your general opinion of this product. It's good if it lasts and does not burn out in the middle of a gig. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? mid range to bassy type sound.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? First, let me just say that I REALLY love the tonal quality and sound that the Micro-VR Head & SVT210AV cabinet combine to put out. Second, for my application – home studio recording – it’s absolutely perfect in terms of the sound quality, portability, weight, and ease of use with its very basic features. And both seem well-made despite manufacturing in China. It’s a keeper! My biggest disappointment is with the stated power rating of 150W into 8?, 200W into 4?. The head plus one cabinet didn’t seem to put out more sound than my old standby Brit-made Marshall Bass Sate 30, rated at 30W. I got a second SVT210AV but I am not convinced that I’m really getting 200W. Fortunately, there is a post-EQ XLR out so the front-of-house engineer can run with your signal if the SVT210AV’s don’t deliver on the volume you need. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? Gigging musicians may find the Spartan features lacking for their needs on stage. But, there’s an effects loop to insert whatever one might need to fill that gap. Sound How is the tone? Fantastic! Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Flexibility to shape a wide tonal palatte.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Wish it had a metal jacks. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? Really like the built-in limiter. I haven't found a use for the -15 pad, though. Sound How is the tone? My love affair started so innocently, I was merely looking for a small, lightweight "lunchbox" bass head to use for practicing and small gigs. I quickly found the *everywhere* I took this thing, people would make a *point* of telling me how great my bass tone sounded. Everyone from road-hardened pro musicians to casual listeners make a point of telling me how great I sound (the secret is the amp - I'm tellin' ya!) Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? If you agree that The Ampeg (SVT) Round Sound is the holy grail of bass guitar amplification, you will NOT be disappointed. Somehow they actually engineered in "That Sound". Buy a cover for it at bscovers.com, and you're all set. And I think you'll find that the 200W's will be loud enough for almost anything you gig. I've powered a wall of speakers with it, no sweat.
