Detail 01
200W at 4 ohms, cab is 8 ohms
The single 8-ohm cab won't pull the head's full 200W. Adding a second cab gets you there.

AmpegMicro-VR Bass Amp Head and SVT210AV Bass Speaker Cabinet Stack
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A compact 200W solid-state Ampeg bass head with a matching 2x10 cab. For players wanting the Ampeg voice in a rig one person can carry.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small club gigs where a full stack is too much to move
- Studio bass tracking with a DI and a mic'd cab
- Rehearsal rigs that need real volume without a fridge cab
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Loud drummers or large stages — a 2x10 runs out of air
- Players chasing tube power amp warmth and sag
- Anyone wanting deep sub-lows below 40Hz
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
MOSFET power amp, solid state preamp
Stays clean and consistent at volume. No tube maintenance, no warm-up, no sag.
Detail 03
Balanced line out with pre/post and pad
Feeds the board directly. Pre-EQ gives the engineer a raw signal, post sends your tone as set.
Detail 04
Ultra Mid control
Shifts the midrange voicing rather than just cutting or boosting one fixed frequency. This is where the Ampeg growl lives.
Detail 05
2x10 Eminence drivers
Tens are faster and punchier than fifteens. Better note definition, less low-end weight.
Detail 06
25.9 lb, 13 x 24 x 11 inches
One-trip portable. The whole stack weighs less than many single 4x10 cabs.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Speaker cable not stated as included — check before your first gig
- 02One 8-ohm cab leaves headroom on the table; a second cab unlocks full power
- 03Frequency response starts at 58Hz, so 5-string low B loses fundamental
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this loud enough to gig with?
For small clubs and rehearsals, yes. Against a loud drummer on a bigger stage, a 2x10 at partial power will struggle.
02Is the Micro-VR a tube amp?
No. Solid state preamp with a MOSFET power amp. The tube-style voicing comes from the EQ and Ultra Mid circuit, not from tubes.
03Can I add another cabinet?
The head is rated 200W at 4 ohms and the included cab is 8 ohms, so a second 8-ohm cab brings the load to 4 ohms and the full output.
04Does it work for a 5-string bass?
It'll play, but response is rated to 58Hz and usable low frequency to 40Hz, so the low B's fundamental thins out.
