- Here's a sample of the Ampeg Micro Vr! Thanks to David (Owner of the micro Vr stack). I really liked this amp. The song is From BADBADNOTGOOD/In your eyes. The mics blend was 75% Beta 52 and 25% of a crapy 8M-800 ;)

That BADBADNOTGOOD song is an excellent choice for a demo song
I came here to watch the Ampeg review and left wanting that super bassman 🤓
Captain Tsubasa 10 ....haha! Yes it’s a killer amp!
Fender cab has a 2 way crossover rolling lots of high mids and treble off out of the woofers. Ampeg cab woofers are full range. These heads played back to back in the same cab would’ve been a more useful comparison! But still, nice video notwithstanding. Makes me want that Ampeg rig, and I already have a Fender 410 Neo and Bassman 800!
Such a well done and timely video. I was thinking about buying an ampeg but your fender SB is so warm and powerful. I wonder how much the extra 100 watts makes a difference?
The difference is tube versus solid state. Those tube amps just have a tone that’s unmatched. Some hybrid class d amps come close, but man, this Super Bassman sounds F.I.N.E. FINE!
I love both the fender Bassman and the Ampeg 210 Minis
I love this track!
The fender amplifier has a fuller richer sound but you're Soulful playing makes both of those amplifiers sound fantastic good video brother keep it mellow and soulful
Yeah I just ordered the ampeg head with the cab soon to follow and my worry is that i won’t be able to go from a punk sound to a mellow buttery neo soul/funk tone. I think a lot of it is his playing but it’s great to know that the ampeg is versatile and I can get a deep sound
Your playing (and videos!) are truly amazing monsieur. Thanks for putting so much heart into these!
I have a Mesa Pulse 600 with a Mesa 1 x 15 powerhouse and a 2 x 10 Hartke. Was looking at downsizing for space but worried about losing tone...is the Micro VR too soft on low end? If not that what do you recommend in the sub 1-1.5k range given that the Bassman is too pricey but gorgeous!
Lawrence Levinson hummm have you considered The new Traynor YBA-100 or 200? They are about the same amp as Fender are. All tube and not so expensive. Way better than micro VR. (It’s my opinion)
@@jochoui You the man, merci beaucoup!
@@jochoui picked up the spanking brand new YBA-100 today and man it's amazing...night and day. Thanks again!
Lawrence Levinson WoW! Nice to hear!
Do you ever gig the micro vr? I'm looking at one for sale locally that has only been used once and the guys asking $350 for it. I'm really intrigued by these little amps.
Never giged with it since I wasn’t the owner. Lound enough for a small to medium gig but you will need 2 cabs. It’s a cool amp and affordable.
Wow, I've never seen a tweed version of a Fender Super Bassman. That's cool!
Was it a limited edition or custom run?
Paul Simmons! A custom run! DIY project! :)
Would have loved to see the heads run through dif cabs... affects your tone quite a bit I’d think.
Yes for sure!
Could you please tell me where you found the Neo 4x10 cab in the tweed tolex please? It’s killer! Seems impossible to find, thank you.
Can't find that color! I did the tweed on it! Haha
@@jochoui that is amazing mate... Ace job, I’d pay good money for that.
Damn, love that Super Bassman
does the tone change any when you add a second svt210av cab? Do you notice any bass increase by using a second cab? or is it exactly the same sound only louder? ...(I currently have 1 and I am considering whether to buy a second)..
Hi! It won’t affect tone but more speaker mean more fun! Enjoy!
I like the Fender’s mid frequency tone. The Ampeg is nice but is missing some low mids.
Not much difference to my ears but the Fender I like more. Thanks for the vid.
Very nice tone, the killer I'd say! I prefer the Ampeg, I feel it has more definition. The Fender Bassman is defnitely louder and may sound better with loud volumes because of the tubes, but in terms of microphoned recorded tone, I prefer the little ampegs as their mid/treble are the killer! Both amp sets are gorgeous though and would transform any living room both in terms of sound and aesthetics!
I would like to know how you have connected the 2 cabinets to the head
plis video
2x1/4 câble speakers from the cab to the head.
What do you think about the Ampeg SVT 210 cab? Looking for a good portable cab.
They are cool / light / affordable. But not so « bassy » you have to cheat on your amp and boost the bass. Nice living-room cab, but for me, it’s a nah. I love my Aguilar 210 4 ohms. Expensive but what I’ve learn from my GAS is the more $ you invest for a cab, better the chance you will keep it afterwards:)
@@jochoui Sure. Totally get it. Share the same experience. Hence my question. Thx for the feedback. Ever tried an Eden D210XLT? Or should I go to an good old Ampeg 410 for live?
Can Ampeg have more bass in sound, or this is its maximum?
Hi! Yes! Bass was at 3 o’clock. It can be push further. Note that those small cabs are not the most « bassy «
I hope you checked the phase on those two mics
Hi, I’m considering getting an ampeg tube amp. What do you recommend? Something that gives me that tone but can is also portable
Also, if you can only have 1 amp what would you buy? My budget is around $1000
Getting the classic Ampeg tube tone will not be extremely portable. I’m not an Ampeg geek but the V4B might be an option. PF-50T will be more B-15 tone oriented. Yet portable but a bit short on power for medium venues. If I had the choice of only one amp, that would be the Demeter VTBP-MJ-800D. But it’s 2k USD. And it’s more Fender Bassman oriented.
@@jochoui thank you sir, I appreciate your advice as always.
@@jochoui hey I realized that the tube amp is just super heavy and not portable. Is there any other way to get that Ampeg warm tube tone in a portable way, what do you recommend in order to get a tube amp sound in a portable way? An Arkham oracle perhaps?
Hi, was wondering if the strings on the P are flats or rounds?
Hi! They were rounds (Ernie Balls-110-55)
@@jochoui Great, thanks!
Tone wise I don’t hear much difference. However, the baseman has much more power. But those Ampeg micros are dope in a pinch.
Alguien sabe el titulo de la cancion??
BADBADNOTGOOD/In your eyes ..ahi lo menciona
The fender sounds sweet. Tubes ftw
Se pueden conectar 2 cabinas al micro vr?
Si! Dos cabinas! Dos 8 ohms.
Very close to a tube amp for sure.
The ampeg doesn't sound bad by any means...but damn that fender is awesome. Like the ampeg sounds really good, then he plays the fender and goes back to the ampeg and you can hear the difference...no comparison..but if I had to have the ampeg I wouldn't complain.
Whats the Name If the Song ?
In your eyes Badbadnotgood
There is a difference in cabs and eq, i believe if you added more bass on an Ampeg and played through the same cab most people here would be surprised to see how well micro compares to an all tube
Yes you are right! I’ve tweeked the micro to get as close as possible to the SB. Don’t be fooled :) Tube amp FTW!
Vim pra ver o ampeg e pirei na música!
Just throw an ART Tube MP preamp in front of Micro VR and you will smirk alot since that moment 😉
Yeah for sure! But, that was not the point and an unfair match. (Matter of taste) I do build my own tube preamps. No need for a starved plate design preamp like the Art MP. I’m sure it enhances solid state amp tho….
Cheers!
@@jochoui thats true! But with that addition its a great really warm SVT machine
@@jochoui Hi, have you tried any tube preamp in FX loop of that Micro VR? Or does it work better plugged into amp input? Thanks
@@richardk1708 No I don't! I wasn't the owner of the Micro Vr kit, so I did not try all functions. I don't know if the return(effect loop) bypass the internal preamp of the VR? If so, a real tube preamp will sound better in the return jack. Most of tube preamp with starved plate design (wall alimentation power pack with 9-12-18vdc)will do fine in the front of the amp. Tube preamp with 280/+ vdc(B+) will have too much gain in the front input or will be useless since you still use the solid state amplifier's preamp.(most of the time)IMHO
Fender is way better 👍🏻
