Product Rating Product Review I bought this bass amp primarily to use as a home practice amp with studio headphones. It provides that Ampeg tone and growling gain I wanted without having to break the bank for an SVT or add more pedals to my rig. It’s light, looks great, has an aux input to play with anything you choose and a headphone jack - everything I needed for home practice without waking up the neighbors. A great addition to my collection!

Product Review I love useing this as a stage amp and thebuilt in dI allows me to use the pa for more power if and when I need it. And the effect loop makes it everything I need the 200watts is usually plenty for the places I play. Again the di is there whenever I need it

Product Review So I originally bought this as a practice amp and possibly small gigs. I hooked it up to my Ampeg SVT 410HLF. Wow. Pushes it well. It’s not a SVT-CL of course but for the price and size it’s a very usable amp. Only reason I didn’t give it 4 stars is I think Ampeg should allow the AUX input to come through the amp to the cab. As it is you have to use headphones. But I jam to studio monitors so this isn’t a huge deal for my uses. Want that SVT sound in a small package? Buy it!

Product Review I’m currently working with this amp in the studio. Very clean sound and full of tone!

Product Review I love it it’s 100 percent worth the money. Great tone/sound.

Product Review This portable ampeg has a warm great tone, I am playing a fender p bass, with a hartke hydrive 112 cab, and I cannot believe the great quality, affordable, lightweight compact head with a big sound, this will be perfect FOR anybody who wants to gig or even at a church, thanks ampeg!

Product Review with 300w with 1x15 & VST2x10 lets you feel the backbone of the music !! LOVE this RIG !!!

Product Review Small and powerful and light weigh perfec for small gigs

Product Review It really is a great deal for what it is and how it sounds and performs. So glad I finally got it, have looked at it for a few years and never did it but wow it is worth it.

Product Review This product is wonderful for the gigging musician who doesn’t want to lug crazy heavy equipment around. It can plug into any cab and deliver an earth rumbling sound. Also can be quiet enough to use inside the bedroom. It is a "best of both worlds" type bass amp, and I recommend it to any musician.

It,s put together fine the only snagg is the black paint on the speaker cab, who ever painted it could have used a roller. Paint strokes every way.Quailty Control???????? Light weight and can move it around, get it in a Bug!!!Did upgrade the speaker cable to Monster,will get covers!!! Now the SOUND is Ampeg and yes if pushed it will brakk alittle but thats were E.Q. comes in.I use the Tech 21 VT box and E.Q. her dial in and out the bass freq and get a nice full fat sound, and don,t 4get the limiter U can get some nice sounds just got to dail her in. Your general opinion of this product. I do own a July 1969 Linden New Jeresy SVT and also getting the new AV Model.But she,ll be on stage when I play out just keep in mind she does have a limit so have funn and Good Hunting!!! Yours to go find. just like my 69 Nova.

So far so good. The tolex isn't peeling on mine, so maybe they've got that solved. 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. 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. Your general opinion of this product. Cute, easy to move, quite under powered though. Won't cut it for most gigs. Feels chunky and round. Very Ampeg in character. Not very solid on the lowest notes though. Signature Ampeg tone. What more can be said. Good Good

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. Has that SVT sound and very light weight compared to my old SVT head back in the 70's. Good classic SVT sound. A little too much midrange on the sound. Your general opinion of this product. It's good if it lasts and does not burn out in the middle of a gig. Light weight mid range to bassy type sound.

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. 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. Fantastic! N/A Flexibility to shape a wide tonal palatte. N/A N/A

Wish it had a metal jacks. Really like the built-in limiter. I haven't found a use for the -15 pad, though. 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!) Light as a feather! I love pulling a gag on my fellow musicians by handing them the amp and saying "here, carry my heavy Ampeg head for me?". They brace themselves, they grab the amp, then they are astonished! The look on their face is priceless. 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. wonderful great

It's a mini-me SVT.. Simple, but brutal punch and power..Single channel..Simply adjust the midrange or gain...You have 3 different sounds...effect loop..Headphones jack.. input for mp3..XLR out..CAN RUN 2 SVT 210's.. Sound w/ the SVT-210 Cabinet. It is a very solid sounding combo. As mentioned above a V4B paired w/ 2 15" Cab. Old vs. new, loved it in its day, but, smaller is better. No problem w/ Low B. and above all its sounds like 1/4" of an SVT. It has bada boom and very shiny bada bing in the midrange. It can growl! All you would expect....for Ampeg sound Feels good @ 11 lbs. Amp that is.. Tone is mentioned above in sound. This combo w/ a SansAmp Bass driver.. it will shock you. BY NO WAY, on its own, lack in its sound and tone dept. But w/ the addition of the Tech 21 you'll wonder where the other 3/4" of Big Brother is at.... Built like an Ampeg....Wish they'd put the right picture of it onsite..its confusing..Oh well.. Had an Ampeg V4B in the 80's. It was 400w and tube. 40lbs. Action for the Micro VR was 11 lbs. and Solid state Mosfet 200w. Looks REAL good so far.....
