MICRO-VR Amplier, Power Cable, Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of an Ampeg MICRO-VR bass guitar
amplier. This no-compromise amplier packs 200 Watts of solid-state MOS-FET fury, a
switching power supply, and the classical good looks and features of our renowned SVT
®
Series amplier head.
The MICRO-VR amplier is designed as an ideal companion to the SVT-210AV cabinet,
available separately.
The switching power supply keeps the weight low, without sacricing power output or

using only the best of components. Each amplier is tested to conrm that it meets our
specications, and we believe that this amplier is the absolute best that it can be.
In order to get the most out of your new amplier, please read this Owner’s Manual, as
well as the Important Safety Instructions included with your MICRO VR amplier, before
you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing Ampeg!
