The Ampeg Micro‑VR Bass Amp Head and SVT‑210AV Bass Speaker Cabinet together form a compact yet powerful bass amplification stack designed to deliver the classic Ampeg tone in a portable format. The Micro‑VR head is a solid‑state amplifier that captures the sound and feel of traditional tube‑based Ampeg gear through Ampeg’s Variable Reactive (VR) preamp technology, giving players access to rich lows, punchy mids, and articulate highs. Its control panel includes Gain, Bass, Midrange, Treble, Ultra‑Hi, Ultra‑Lo, Master Volume, and a 3‑position Voicing switch, allowing versatile tone shaping from warm, vintage cleans to aggressive modern growl.
The matching SVT‑210AV Cabinet houses two 10″ Ampeg‑voiced speakers in a sealed enclosure engineered to complement the Micro‑VR head’s frequency response. The compact 2×10″ configuration provides focused low end with tight punch and precise transient response, making it suitable for small to medium rehearsal spaces, studios, or intimate gig environments. Its enclosure design balances weight, projection, and tonal depth while maintaining the rugged construction Ampeg rigs are known for.
Together, the Micro‑VR head and SVT‑210AV cabinet deliver a unified bass tone that blends traditional Ampeg character with modern flexibility. The stack’s connectivity includes standard 1/4″ speaker outputs, a DI out with ground lift for direct PA or recording feeds, and headphone output for silent practice. The combination of dynamic EQ control, voicing options, and responsive speaker cabinet makes this setup capable of handling a wide range of styles—from classic rock and blues to slap, funk, and contemporary bass performance.
