Please feel free to post your insights.

I will check the Ampeg website for press releases Saturday morning. (9am Saturday here being 2pm Friday in the US) and watch for anyone's updates.

Well the main thing I was hoping for is a European Heritage B15. It seems like that might be on the cards so I'm happy with that. I just hope the price isn't too crazy. I'm also on the lookout for a gigging amp and can't decide between the 7 or 8 Pro (and can't easily try them especially the elusive 8 Pro) so something along those lines might get me interested too.

The European Heritage B-15 is a definite.

Oh boy, am I in trouble.

I was looking at the new GVT guitar amps, and think the existing GVT52-212 would make a good platform to market a new low wattage bass tube head from. It's got 12AX7 preamp tubes and 6L6 power tubes, and is swithcable between 25 & 50 watts. Even the existing EQ points (80hz, 800hz, 5khz) are all usable frequencies for bass. Just drop the reverb and put it in a head case.

Did anyone see Ampeg's FB page today...there's a teaser of one of their new amps for NAMM on there, and if I were a betting man, I'd say it's a 100w tube head.

I didn't until you just made me look ...

Is it sitting on a Micro VR210? Could be a 100 watter, looking forward to seeing for myself on Friday.

 

[JimmyM]

Looks more like it's sitting on a 410HLF.

 

[Mastermold]

Looked again, I can't tell ...

Looks like that to me, maybe a V4B. It is too small to be a Heritage STV-VR.

 

[fuzzy beard]

I cant stand it! Please some one just spill the beans!

 

[stiles72]

I don't think that cab is an HLF. It's got a straight back - and appears to be rectangualar. Possibly a new 2x12? And just for shitzengrinz, I'm going to say it's a 50/25 "B25" tube head similar to a B25.

Looks like it's a Micro CL:

Ampeg: Classic Series - MICRO-CL Stack

 

[JimmyM]

The only other new product on their website is the Heritage Reverborocket.

Looks like they added covers, too.

 

[shwashwa]

so what would be the difference between the micro vr and the micro cl?

 

[beans-on-toast]

Maybe $100.

 

[bigbottomend]

so what would be the difference between the micro vr and the micro cl?

Micro VR - 200w @ 4 ohm
Micro CL - 100w @ 8 ohm

 

[JimmyM]

Ya, looks like a more light duty/non-expandable version of the Micro VR. Looks cool, but I'm hoping that's not all there is. Not that I'm complaining about their current line of stuff, but I was really hoping for a 100w tube amp
