Ampeg microSVT-VR?

[MingusBass]

Can you daisey chain the cabs together to use 2 with a mono bass head running at 4 ohms?

Yes.

 

[Bjazzman]

i'd be interested in how this thing compares to the vt bass pedal

 

[MingusBass]

It's much bigger.

 

[lorenk]

It's much bigger.

lol

so does this bad boy sound tubey? or solid statey? cuz it would be pretty rad to have this as a practice amp...

 

[KarateKid25]

Is that little red thing on the back a voltage selection switch? Looks like it says 230 or something on it, so Im guessing it is?

I can't find these anywhere in Australia. If the voltage can be changed with the flick of a switch, id be interested in importing one

 

[oyvind2305]

Yes it is a 115/230V slide selector.

 

[KarateKid25]

cool thanks.

I also own a real SVT-VR and although the Micro is completely solid state it does have a tube like warmth. It's a great practice amp. It has a headphone jack and a line in for your iPod.

Admit it you gear queers; if it didn't say Ampeg and look cool there would be no reason to talk about or consider this overpriced, under powered amp for anything other than a door stop....

And yes, I want one too.

If the amp had 500 watts like all of the other micro heads I'd be on it.

For now looks like the cabs will be in my future.

I recently had the chance to play one of these. We will be reviewing it in the mag very soon, so I don't want to spoil anything, but I have to say, I'm quite impressed.

[Chef]

I'm thinking that lil head, and two of the matching cabs would be really sweeeeeet.

Ampeg moved manufacturing to Korea.

 

[RTL]

I wonder how overpriced it is...

EDIT: Okay, a search revealed that the head can be had for $299. I can dig it

 

[whoatherechunk]

Jimmy....have you partaken in a thread that comments on this move. Please PM me if so. Thanks.

Ampeg moved manufacturing to Korea.

 

[tombowlus]

Actually, it's made in China.

 

[JimmyM]

Actually, it's made in China.

Odd...is it just this particular amp? And yeah, Chunk, I think I did participate in that thread, but I have no opinion on it yet.

 

[whoatherechunk]

USA, Vietnam, Korea, now China.....what's next? Gahhhh.
