Ampeg MicroVR Bass Guitar Amplifier Head

Ampeg Micro VR MOSFET Bass Guitar Amplifier Head 200 Watts

Don't be fooled by its diminutive — dare we say, cute — appearance. This portable, powerful solid-state head is a pleasant surprise from the moment you lay eyes on it to the second its indisputable Ampeg tone hits your ears. The Ampeg Micro VR is a compact powerhouse fully capable of pumping its 200 watts of genuine Round Sound™ into countless live and recording situations.

This mighty micro amp may look like a miniature version of the legendary SVT-VR, but it packs a tonal punch that is anything but small. It's the perfect partner for any bassist who needs that classic Ampeg sound without hauling a refrigerator-sized rig.

Big Tone, Small Footprint

The magic of the Micro VR lies in its ability to deliver authentic Ampeg tone in an unbelievably small package. It’s built for bassists who refuse to compromise on sound, no matter the venue size.

200 Watts of Solid-State Power: The robust MOSFET preamp and power amp deliver 200 watts of pure, articulate bass tone. This amp has more than enough headroom to cut through the mix, giving you that signature Ampeg growl and punch.
Classic Ampeg Tone Stack: With 3-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble) and dedicated Volume and Gain controls, you can dial in anything from warm, vintage thump to modern, aggressive bite. It’s the sound you know and love, right at your fingertips.
Onboard Limiter and -15dB Pad: The defeatable onboard limiter keeps your signal clean and tight, preventing unwanted distortion when you dig in. The -15dB pad is perfect for accommodating active basses with hot pickups, ensuring your tone stays smooth and controlled.

Ready for the Studio and the Stage

This little head is packed with professional features that make it a versatile tool for any gig or session. It’s designed to integrate seamlessly into your setup, whether you're plugging into a cabinet or going straight to the board.

Balanced XLR Direct Out: Send your pristine Ampeg tone directly to the front-of-house or your recording interface with the balanced XLR DI output. The pre/post EQ and ground lift switches give you total control over your signal.
FX Loop: Integrate your favorite pedals and effects with the dedicated send and return jacks. The FX loop ensures your time-based effects and modulations sound their best without coloring your core tone.
Headphone Out / Line In: Practice silently any time of day with the 1/8" headphone output. You can also jam along with your favorite tracks by connecting your phone or media player to the 1/8" stereo line input.

The Perfect Match

While the Micro VR sounds great with a variety of cabinets, it was born to be paired with the Ampeg SVT-210AV. Together, they create a mini-stack that not only looks incredible but delivers a surprisingly massive sound that will leave audiences stunned.

You can even purchase them together as a bundle.
