- The perfect Ampeg bass stack for private practice and more
Why sacrifice your tone when you need to practice in relative silence? Ampeg designed their Micro-CL Stack bass amplifier combo so that bass players like you can get the tone you need, no matter how quiet you need to be. They engineered its 100-watt solid-state head to sound as close to its tube-based big brothers as possible, so you get epic bass tone without epic volume. And thanks to its punchy 2 x 10" cabinet, the Micro-CL Stack gives you enough output that you can easily use it for rehearsals and small gigs when you want to.

Cool! Thanks for the review. I'll probably have to put this in my hit list.
its a LOT louder than I thought it would be. Playing in my den with volume on 1 is more than enough
It's a tempting little amp. I hope you do a side by side with VR when it arrives. I've been considering one or the other to pair up with a Squier Bass VI.
I've had mine for...at least 3 yrs? Great little amp. Hmm, ok, I just went and checked my Sweetwater purchase history, my mistake, I ordered mine 1/10/2013! Wow, time goes by fast!
Well I can attest to the fact I've used it nearly every single day, most the time multiple times, and never had a problems with it:)
how do you forget that it was 8 years ago 💀💀
this is a good amp for practicing by yourself but if your in a punk or heavy metal band don't buy it step up and get the big daddy amp 300 watt amp more power won't blow up like this thing I was told by another musician friend never buy these little amps if your playing heavy music they don't last very long
It's November 2023 as of this reply, I just bought mine,and I have 5 different Ampeg model amps, and I use this Micro CL more than the others and I just bought it a month ago. It's worth every penny.
@@markos968 Just very, very busy and time keeps on slipping:) See, and just like that…there goes another year since you replied:). Lol
These things are also great amps for jazz guitarists, they sit great in a mix with a big band.
That's cool to get a different perspective on the use of the amp.
I like the fact that you can rotate the logo to use the cabinet sideways. Unfortunately if you crank it, the cabinet rattles because I guess it isn't as sturdily constructed as the head.
I recently got a new bass for recording with but then have found I bloody love playing it, told myself I don't need an amp I can just use the UAD SVT that has worked great so far, but then I saw these and now I want one just because it looks cool
They are cool little amps, the head has a line out on it so you can DI record with it.
cool. perfect review
Thank you
really works there with the 'P' I think. For solid-state and the size of these babies, I am really impressed with the tone and punch from them...'Nice!!' , A nice wee compact effects unit will go well with these wee guys as well I think
I have found that the Boss GT-1B does the trick.
@@alansamsmusic are you using it here mate or is this just the straight thru/Amp sound? Nice anyways. I have a ZoomB3 thingy which is useful but I will remember that thanks!! :)
@@paddymacIV no that’s just the amp on it’s own live in the room. I didn’t even run a line out, just turned it up and filmed it with my iPhone.
@@alansamsmusic thought that, you can just tell. I used to have an Ampeg solid state head, one of the 450's but tone-wise I actually think that this one sounds much more like the real tone. Would be nice to hear the 200 one with an extension Cab too..Thanks mate / nice job!! :)
I want to pair the head with the svt 15 cabinet!
many say that it is a bit loud while only ON,without playing.Is it true ?
Is it enough good for home recording studio needs?
I had the big one. That was loud!
Love it ! but am I the only one that thinks the ventilation sound is way too loud ? any advice on how to reduce it ?
Some of that may be coming from the background noise in the room. Also the Pbass and Ric are both a little noisy on their own. I know the fan on the 200 watt head is loud.
@@alansamsmusic Isn't the 100 Watt CL a fanless amp head?
I just bought one of these from Sweetwater and haven’t opened it yet 👍
Do you know if it's good gor a live rock concert with loud drums and all? On a medium or small venue
it is possible to connect the ampeg 1x15 cabinet of 200 watts at 8 ohms to that head??
Not this one I don't think, the silver one yes
I am looking for a bigger amp right now and I have heard few complaints about these, how is yours? Besides I am worried that most of these smaller solid-state amps can sound too clean but I guess that isn't the case with this one. I'd be happy if it has its own color with its pre-set eq curve and harmonic distortion and the cab with some character from its bigger brother.
This is a great practice amp, but if you're looking for something that's going to have some oomph behind it you might want to look at something bigger. This is great for practice and maybe a small venue. Thanks for checking out the video
@@alansamsmusicI still need a bigger amp for practicing purposes but I'd really like some character with extended lows to fill the room.
@@Cake_Doge you might want to check out the Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-115 1x15. 200 watts with a 15. That would give you plenty of low end. Plus those amps have the over drive circuit. The Fender Rumble amps also offer some great practice amps.
@@alansamsmusic I will, there was one B100R for sale the previous gen of rocket basses but people always told it was great for vintage tones, so I didn’t make a move
Did you ever get the VR Micro for comparison???
Actually I did not. I started playing in a band again and needed to put my money into a setup that I could gig out with.
I'm looking for this type of amp to play in my small living room. Is the power not too strong so as not to disturb the neighbors? I'm hesitating with a Vox Super Beetle Bass
I've actually been using this amp at band practice and its actually louder than what I first thought. It's a powerful little amp and depending on how much you push it you may get a knock on the door from the neighbors. Thank you for watching the video
I’m thinking of buying this bass amp. I’m still on the fence
Do you know if it's good for a live rock concert with drums and all? On a medium venue
Can you do a demo using a 5 string please
Is this enough to play with a drummer and two guitars ?
This would probably be good for a small gig or practice. There is a 200 watt version that would be better in a band situation.
Can i play guitar with this amp
Sure you could play a guitar through this... you just don't have the built in reverb or overdrive channel.
So probably not great for on stage performances huh?
Why not? I suppose if you want to feel it for the presence then probably not but a couple of good mics if nothing else and it will punch through just fine I would imagine, hell I would rather load in with the mini over it’s big brother anyday
Just noticed there’s the VR which is 200watt, that’s extremely tempting
