Ampeg Micro VR issues poll with new video

[GaryLC]

I just got on to see all the hoopla after Ampeg chimed in! I agree, kudos to Ampeg!! I am extremely impressed that a company that large took the time to address our "little" forum....I haven't experienced too many companies doing that.
It put me in a very good mood this morning, just great!

Happy 4th of July, TBers!!

Same to you Gary.

 

[GaryLC]

Thanks especially to Hutz. And thanks to Ryan at Ampeg for keeping us posted and taking care of the folks who love these little badasses called the Micro VR. You, sir, are not at all lacking for awesomeness!

Yes, thanks especially to Hutz.......he was persistent and wouldn't backoff....like a pitbull!

 

[fenderhutz]

Gary thanks, hopefully we all have a fix soon enough.

you get what you pay for.

Harry can hate all he wants to. Meanwhile, the Micro VR stack is being used to record hit songs. Who is the winner today? Not Big Ol' Harry!

Also 900 bucks isn't exactly cheap for what is basically a 200 watt vertical 410 combo. But if Ampeg fixes this, worth it's weight in gold.

Why would hatters hate?

Touche...

I wonder how Ashdown would handle this same issue.

Does their support reside in a call center outside of the US that reads off scripts or like Ampeg have a call center in the US staffed by knowledgeable players?

That's your answer, because I don't know Ashdown support.

 

[JimmyM]

Well if Ashdown's smart, they'll have great CS. The internet has made this world incredibly small, and bad news travels fast. It really behooves a company to have great CS these days because so many other companies that do that are willing to take your money.

Not saying this as a reflection on Ashdown...I have no clue about their CS.

 

[fenderhutz]

Taking any bets on a fix tomorrow?

 

[B-string]

What other companies? Genz Benz, QSC, Peavey, G-K just to name a couple that chime in here. Some by the company owners.

 

[ShowKing]

on the video, you didn't plug it into the 200watts @ 4ohms when you added the 2nd cab..

Nah, it was a holiday today. I'd say later in the week or maybe even next. They're working on it...no need to bust balls

I don't even know where and how to address this. There isn't a 200 watts a 4 ohms jack. There are two jacks that do the same thing. The amp runs at 4 ohms. You can achieve this two ways with that setup.

Running a cab from each jack, or running one to a single cab, then from the output of that cab to the input of the other.

Either way doesn't matter. Still does it.

Ryan hinted last week they knew what the issue was.

And they have a fix...

And they have a fix...

We were joking over the holiday (another TB'er and myself) that the fix was placing a piece of tape over the other speaker out jack and/or putting an 8ohm only sticker on the head lol.
