User questions & answers

Question:	How does this compare to the hartke vx3500 or the ashdown combo amps
Answer:	You'll find it's easier to move, has the same punchy tone, and just about the same power. You really only get the 450 watt power by adding a extention speaker. I added a 15" Ampeg bass extention cab to get a real bottom end growl, and I got it. Great high and growling lows -- I couldn't ask more from this combo. Hope this helps.
Question:	Can the xlr line out be used for another speaker cab or does this amp have an external speaker line out
Answer:	The Ampeg BA115v2 does not have a line out for any external speakers. The xlr line out is for connection to a mixer or recording setups. The Ampeg BA210 comes with a 1/4" output jack for an external speaker.
Question:	Can you hook up a microphone
Answer:	There isn't an XLR input on this amp. There is a 1/4" input, a 1/4" aux input, and a 3.5mm phones input. You could hook up a microphone if the mike cord has a 1/4" plug in.
Question:	Is this a stand alone 450 watt amp or do you need an extension cabinet to achieve the full 450 watts and its only half that by itself
Answer:	If you want the full 450, you need to add an extention cab to get the ohms right. I highly recommend a 15" cab -- you get some great growling lows ...

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it worth the extra $300 to get the Rumble 500 head and the 410 and 115 cab, rather than the combo + the 115 extension
Answer:	I have the 210 combo and 115 extension. The 115 comes with wheels and I put the 210 on a rock and roller cart. Extremely portable and very loud, it will get louder than your ears can stand. I would say the combo and 115 are plenty. Not worth getting the head and 410, just a waste of money and more weight to carry around.
Question:	As a stand alone unit, are the 210's pushing 500 watts, or do you need to attach another cabinet at lower ohms to get your 500 watts
Answer:	As a standalone unit the two 10 inch speakers are pushing 350 Watts at 8 ohms (Internal). You need to attach an external 8 ohm speaker cabinet to get 500 Watts. Attaching the external 8 ohm speaker cabinet brings the total impedance down to 4 ohms and that is when you get the maximum 500 Watts.
Question:	I'm helping a friend pick out a bass & amp for her son. Would this amp be loud enough for a small entry-level garage band
Answer:	I remember way back when I was in my first band. I had an ampeg B-15 and it was woefully underpowered. All I got out of it was a ton of distortion. It can be very frustrating for a new player to have to deal with poor sound. I’ve known guys who have given up playing because of the frustration of dealing with noise instead of music. I would use a 25w amp for practicing by myself but for a garage band I would go with a minimum of 100w.
Question:	is this amp usable in new zealand
Answer:	I turned mine upside down and it still worked so I suppose it will be OK down there. (On mine, input power is marked 100-120V @ 50-60 HZ, 70W.)

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the cabinet rated at 8 ohm or 4 ohm
Answer:	Philossifer, Speaker 2x10" at 8 ohm .. The question should be, is it worth the money & performance? Yes Most Excellent. I do play my Fender Jazz Bass on occasion but prefer this amp over my Fender Champion 100 2X12" for playing my Telecaster & Stratocaster with pedals thru this little Ampeg. the quality of sound will blow you away, just my opinion. ziggy
Question:	all in got was the top part, is this correct? now I need to but the bottom
Answer:	You should have gotten both parts. That's what makes it a "Stack"... Did you order direct from Amazon?
Question:	Can you put foot pedals in it
Answer:	I had mine returned because the bottom speaker was blown, but from what I do remember it did not have additional input output for foot pedals. You would be better off with the Ampeg 115v2 bass amp. That is what I got to instead. It has the foot pedal in/output, and is only an extra $50 for 100 extra amps. It is a great all around amp.
Question:	bought this for my nephew but only the top part in the photo came. so I guess I need to order the bottom half now, is this correct? the bottom isn't here yet, thanks for the info!!!! disregard my other question couldn't find the answer at first...lol
Answer:	When I ordered this amp it was delivered to me with the head and cabinet (the top part and bottom part) so it's strange to me why you were only given the head (top part)This amp has a more expensive brother, the Micro AV which ships separately; but this order should be together :)

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the SCR work with batteries
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Will it work with a regular guitar though? I Heard it voiced only for bass
Answer:	There is supposed to be a power cord with the amp. However, it’s a common 110v power cord. You could probably pick one up at a music shop or even a computer shop.
Question:	Does it come with a 9V adaptor?....If not , which one do you buy
Answer:	NO!!! This is a 110v plug. DO NOT try to run this at 220. As far as bass & guitar at the same time... it’s one or the other.
Question:	Is the 1/4” line out jack an unbalanced TS or balanced TRS
Answer:	There is a headphones jack, which you could record off of.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this product still have shutoff issues
Answer:	Speaker output is high power for driving speakers; it will destroy your laptop. You should be using the line out plug and don't plug it into a microphone input. Be sure the input is for line level current.
Question:	My drummer is a hard hitter. Will this be loud enough
Answer:	I don't use my amp in a rack. An old laptop padded bag works best for me. Somewhere I still have the rack mounts. Let me know if you are interested in them. swingdad@hotmail, you know the rest.
Question:	Does the pf-500 come with the necessary screws and washers to mount it on the portaflex cabinet? i didn’t find any inside as they claim
Answer:	It does work with batteries. However, many people have reported that when the batteries start to get weak, a loud, shrill squeal is produced by the pedal. This happened to me. I bought a 9V AC adapter and keep it plugged in. No problems.
Question:	Can you use it with any speaker (thats not Ampeg
Answer:	It is Bass Pre-Amp and OD.

Ampeg SVT Micro-VR Bass Head: A Compact Powerhouse

Don't be fooled by its diminutive, dare we say "cute", appearance. The Ampeg Micro VR Bass Amp Head is a compact powerhouse fully capable of pumping its 200 watts of genuine Round SoundTM into myriad live and recording situations. This portable, powerful solid-state head in traditional Ampeg drag is a pleasant surprise from the second you lay eyes on it to the moment its indisputable Ampeg tone hits your ears.



The Micro-VR head delivers 200W of pure Ampeg tone, in a package that could practically fit in your pocket. This deceptively small head provides the looks of the classic SVT-VR that made the original famous in the 1970's. A balanced direct out, -15dB pad, on-board limiter and dual speaker outs offer tremendous versatility whether on stage, or in the studios. The 1/8" stereo input and output let you easily integrate an MP3 player for practice or recording. Pair it with the companion SVT-210AV cab for a fully gigable, but super micro rig. Great sound, unmatched portability...small wonder, it's an Ampeg.

The Ampeg SVT Legacy

The SVT has become the bass amp that all rock bassists dream of, whether they're famous or completely unknown.



Former Bass Player editor Scott Malandrone put the SVT in perspective this way: "The SVT has done for the sound of electric bass what the Marshall Super Lead had done for the electric guitar--it would give the instrument an identity." We couldn't say it better ourselves.

Ampeg Amps: Built to Work Hard



Ampeg, (a division of Loud Technologies) is recognized world-wide as the premier name in bass and guitar amplification since the 1960's, when the SVT (Super Valve Tone) bass amplifier took the rock world by storm with its 300 watts, 8 x10" speaker cabinet and a tone that would go on to set the standard for rock and roll bass. Today, Ampeg continues on as the leader in professional bass gear and a cherished manufacturer of classic guitar amplifier designs with a continuing tradition of advancing bass tone through quality & innovation.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you plug this into a single 8 ohm speaker
Answer:	Absolutely. Sounds fantastic. I’ve used it with a 4x10 cabinet, and even my 8x10 cabinet. Nice with my old Sunn 2x15 as well.
Question:	Would this Amp work good in Metal music situations
Answer:	I tried to answer earlier, but couldn't post. Got nothing but adds...I'll try again. Amp head is great, but I use it with another cabinet. An old SWR Little Henry. I can switch from Guitar to bass without changing any settings. I think the cabinet that comes with it is muddy. If you want all 200 watts. you need two cabinets anyway. I suggest you get the head and take it to some music stores to find the right cabinet. I play in a punk/metal band as well as a straight rock band and use it for both. I did have the traditional SVT and I think it sounds just as good without the backbreaking weight. It's good for small and medium clubs...although even when I played my big SVT...all that ever happened was they put a microphone on one speaker anyway.
Question:	Will it work with guitar
Answer:	that is subjective...i think you mean does it sound good,right...to my ear no,but remember you might hear it differently...i play guitar thru a bugera head topping a marshal quad...my ampeg poerws a 15 inch speaker cab... bass is great but guitar sounds too bottom heavy(like my ex)if you play thru a 10 or 12 inch speaker maybe your guitar will sound ok to you..but this is a bass head so for my ear i say no..good amp head,tho andwill play whatever you plug in...choose wisely,grasshopper
Question:	can this be used with an acoustic Bass
Answer:	I use this gem for my electric basses, acoustic electric bases, and my upright bass that utilizes a Realist Pickup (under the foot of the bridge) and it is fantastic. I take the VR and the matching AV 210 cabinet to most gigs, large and small, and did the DI in the back of the head to be a sound man favorite. They love seeing this amp come in. I’ve got two of them and have used two of the 220 cabinets with one head, but found it unnecessary in big clubs with a sound man. Now I keep one set at a studio I regularly work at and use the other at home and for travel. Small, light, and great sound.
