The Ampeg Micro-VR is the answer to a question every bass player has asked at some point: how do I get real Ampeg tone without hauling a refrigerator to the gig? Two hundred watts, classic SVT voicing, and the whole thing weighs under seven pounds. It fits in a backpack. It sounds like Ampeg. That is the whole pitch and it delivers.

The preamp section is voiced after the SVT, which means you get that warm, thick, authoritative low end that Ampeg has been known for since the 1960s. The three band EQ with the mid frequency selector gives you real control over your tone, not just a bass and treble knob. The ultra hi and ultra lo switches let you add presence and low end extension the same way you would on a full size SVT. If you have played through a big Ampeg rig and loved it, this is that sound in a box you can carry with one hand.

The built in DI output with a ground lift is a genuine working musician feature. Plug straight into the board at any venue, run the DI post or pre EQ depending on what the sound person needs, and you are covered. The headphone output with a built in cabinet simulator lets you practice silently with a realistic cab sound in your ears rather than a thin direct signal.

The Micro-VR pairs perfectly with the matching SVT-210AV cabinet, which is sized to match the head and stacks into a classic mini SVT rig. But it will drive any 4 or 8 ohm cabinet you already own. This is a serious amp for working bass players who need to travel light without giving up their tone.
