This Little Half Stack Packs Quite The Wallop!

This little SVT is awesome! As a previous owner of a 350 Watt 8x10 Ampeg Rigg (that was heavy when I was 18), I was looking for something much lighter, as I am now 62. I saw this mini SVT and watched the video, and it was just so cute, I had to give it a try. It did not disappoint, in fact my band said that they can now feel the bass as well as hear it! Completely Satisfied! Special Thanx to Line6 for keeping the dream alive. Sincerely, Gordon Aaron Greer, Bass Player for the band "Yet To Be Named" Westcliffe, Colorado

Was working great for about two months before mid jam it gave out. Now it’s just super quiet. I haven’t had a chance to troubleshoot sadly, but I’m hoping it’s fixable.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who plays bass in a band that occasionally has a drummer. Without the drummer, his old amp worked fine, but he wanted something that could keep up with the loud sounds of a drummer. Now, he uses this amp for ever occasion, even practice, because it has a cleaner sound and is smaller than his old one. Don’t let the size fool you...this amp has so much power and sounds great. Soft or loud, this a must-have for those who want a better sound with better portability and that can keep up with the rest of the band.

i bought the micro CL and loved it so much i got the VR too. i have not tried the amp with the second 2x10 cab option. The CL is loud at 100 watts. this thing is a whopping 100 watts louder. im getting old lugging the larger cabs are not fun when your back goes out. this is light & small.it has all those sweet ampeg bass tones you love. u can use the head as a preamp for recording or mic the cab. both sound amazing. i have not had issues with the cooling fan motor noise like some other reviewers. nothing but Tone Sweet Tone.

This product was packaged well at the manufacturing facility. Tones are easily dialed in. I enjoy the auxiliary input. I’ve had this amp for several months now and I have used in in rehearsal and recording. The direct out is hot but I use a pad on it in my daw/interface and I get the desired results I require as an engineer. Everybody enjoys plugging into it and can match the volume of my drums in my small space.

I own an Ampeg SVT 2 pro & 4 pro. The Micro VR sounds amazing and can hold it's own against my other heads. It's so good, I take it with me to every rehearsal to use with their cabs. At home, paired with the micro 210 cab, its ridiculously powerful. I set my volume all the way up and the gain to 3 for a practice sound and the punch is incredibly tight and powerful. I've had to store my BA110 cab as it's no longer useful to me outside of using it as an Aux speaker. I recommend to anyone looking for a great head and pair cab to look no further. This is it!!! Ampeg forever!

Hello,
Ampeg SVT MicroVR Bass Amplifier Half Stack !
I like this brand ive work with it before an it sounds amazing, I dislike because it came smaller that I expected it. I just purchased it, had it for two months. I does meet my expectations, because its smaller than I thought it was,so for my place to practice perfect. I'm planning to use it for my gigs will definitely display with AMS that's where I had purchase my gear when I was in music back in the years. I have two boys 1 at 11yrs and 1 at 16yrs they are now practicing the bass with it. They love it, how it sounds for the size of the baby it sounds amzing!

Really impressed with this small amp/cab combo. Truly great, vintage tube-like warmth, punching lows and crisp highs are all accessible. The headphone output is super useful for practice.
The 2x10 cabinet this amp is paired with sounds really awesome for home recording, small gigs (50ish people) and if mic'd, can adapt well for larger gigs. Without an extra 12" or 15" paired with it, it just can't handle the lows at a high volume. I do like running it through an SVT 4x10 for larger gigs to save the trouble of carrying around an 80lb SVT head!

Cool little amp. Looks like a toy, but performs really well. Super light, adequately loud, and sounds really good. The drivers aren't quite robust enough...tend to get farty if pushed...but maybe a second cab will help. Plus I think pushing the amp up to 200 watts might just get the loudness one would need without pushing the drivers as hard.

I play in a Classic Rock and blues cover band. I was looking for a much smaller am that would be easy to carry, easy to set up and would have the Ampeg sound. This amp fills all of those requirements. It is perfect for those smaller gigs here a full size rig is just too much yet it retains that Ampeg sound. Worth every penny!

I love it- it generates that awesome Ampeg SVT sound at much lower volumes. Fit an finish looks to be good, and the visual is great. My only complaint would be the same as many others I have read. It gets pretty loud, but not loud enough, especially for 200 watts. That said, overall it's pretty grand, and if you use the direct to run through your PA, you can get all the oomph you'll likely need, and in a package that doesn't weigh as much as your fridge.

Big sound from a small package

I love everything about the Micro VR / SVT210AV combination - the sound, the size, and the retro appearance. As is (the Micro VR and one cabinet) you're looking at 150 watts so it is the perfect practice / small gig setup. Add a second cabinet to get the full 200 watts and you'll be able to play somewhat larger gigs.
The electronics and build quality appear to be excellent. The sound is tight and full and there is no rattling. I've read some complaints about the fan noise (the Micro VR is a fan cooled MOSFET amplifier) but when I'm playing, I don't hear it, so it is a non-issue for me.
The Micro VR is perfect. No effect frills (thankfully) but it has everything you need with regards to controls and input output jacks.
The sound is warm, clean, and amazing. Both highs and lows are reproduced accurately. I'm looking forward to adding a second cabinet to get the most from it.
The controls are well laid out, easy to read, and functional. There is a definite difference between the low position and mid and from mid to high. Start out flat than adjust from there.
While not as warm sounding as a tube amp, the Micro VR has a warmer sound than any other solid state amp I've heard and is as true sounding as they come. What you put in comes out... louder.
You may find more power for the same amount of money, but not with this tone or portability. Quit playing around with cheap practice amps and get this instead.

Big sound from a little Amp
By: Dan E. "Doc" from Tacoma, WA, USA
Submitted: 9/8/2011
This little guy saved the day last weekend. Half way through a gig, my big amp (not an Ampeg) Blew out, pretty disappointing for a amp less than a year old. I went back and got my Ampeg Micro with 2 of the speaker stacks and played the rest of the shows for the weekend without a hitch. I pushed it hard and it came back with what I wanted!
Nice features, line out, speaker jacks, effects. Plus the tone knobs allow one to dial in the sound you want.
Good adjustable tone.
The controls are right there, easy to adjust. The crowd looks at it and says oh how cute that little thing is, then they find out what a big sound it has! HA!
You want a variety of tone you got it. Paired with a good bass guitar you have no worries. You may have to use the direct line out to a big PA system if you are playing a big venue.
Pretty classic looking Ampeg. It's just small.
The Amp was great out the box.

seeing on how it's made by ampeg quality is very good smooth and non scratchy control pots make a diffrence
has many speaker routing hook ups
it has very good sound
it's not to heavy and it doesn't take up much space.
nice thick and punchy tone and though my Zoom B2.1u I get more eq volume and gain very cool
the outer covering is what you would expect from an amp
set up was quick and easy

Splendid Ampeg Tone!
By: fourforty on Facebook from Minnesota
Submitted: 5/12/2011
Great after the first few months.
Tone.
This thing sounds incredible. Bought it with a matching cabinet and it sounds great. The only thing that sounds cooler is 2 of the cabinets so I got another one. I've also run it thru a Hartke VX410 (paper cones) and it thundered.
Light as a feather. Switched and knobs feel good.
Very fat, growly and punchy. Tone controls are super powerful. Lots of character.
Fine

Lil Brute Big Punch

Seems rock solid - all tabs, feet etc... line up - no wobbles or wiggles. Ampeg dependability is definately built in.
Best feature by far is the weight. VERY PORTABLE and so easy on the hands. A possible addition could be a "tone shaping" switch w/ variable pot along w/ 3-tone controls for added sound tweaking.
Crisp, fat, great midrange - very controlable. The limiter crunches just enough when overdriving so there is no loss of the instruments characteristics. Another great thing is that you can add a second cabinet to boost the output to 200 watts (as if 150 watts is'nt enough)
I currently use a 2009 Ric C64, 1966 Hofner Beatle bass, reissue '64 Jazz & a reissue '58 P-Bass. Everyone of these basses sound pure and natural as they should. Of course each bass requires a tad bit of tweaking on the amp head tone controls but once dialed in there is no constant fiddling or adjustments needed. This lil' mighty might of an amp is perfect for studio gigs and nite clubs thanks to the direct out XLR jack for access to large mixing / sound boards. You have to like the headphone jack too - keeps your cat from flipping out!
Vintage Ampeg look, gill and all yet the tolex wrap is not as heavy duty as larger amps
