Ampeg SVT 7 PRO ............ Micro Amp?
- Thread starter RBASS930

Wow!
Would have never guessed that Ampeg had any new products to offer this year.
And to think the only new amp (that I don't need) but wanted was the Orange Terror amp; until now.

It's 1/2 of an 8PRO
Naw I don't think so guys... That AMS site also shows the 8PRO and those things were discontinued before they even were released in mass quantities. I know I had one on order for a year. I'm only like number 28 on the list at the Ford dealer for a Shelby GT-500 too, I expect that call any minute also.

Interesting. Although, at 15 lbs., it hardly qualifies as a micro amp. 
It's also interesting that Ampeg takes the pains to say (on the back of the unit) that while the country of manufacture is China, the amp is designed in the USA. I wonder if that's supposed to mean anything--as far as I recall, they never made such qualifications on the Viet Nam-produced amps.
I'm intrigued, but skeptical. We'll see, I guess.

From the picture, it appears that the 7 Pro rack ears are flat metal like the B series, and possibly added to the sides of the chassis. On the 6-pro and all of the other Pro series, the rack screws go through a thicker one piece aluminum panel which extends across the front of the amp in front of the main box.
funny this thing is not listed on the web page. Have we gotten so spoiled that we can't consider 1KW, out of a 15 lbs. box, a micro amp?
Well, I'm going to hold judgment until I actually get my hands on one, but I'm very interested. The micro-vr stack was a home run, hopefully this is more of the same.
Ampeg kinda has had a "micro" head for some time. Granted they are discontinued and were not light but they were small. Anyone remember the porta bass line
