Ampeg Micro CL Stack
Ampeg · amplifier
The Ampeg Micro-CL Stack is a compact 100-watt solid-state bass amplifier stack modeled visually and tonally on the iconic SVT rig but scaled to a 2x10-inch mini-stack configuration. Designed for practice, bedroom use, and smaller venues, it delivers warm, punchy Ampeg character at accessible volumes with a simple 3-band EQ layout mirroring the classic SVT control scheme. At 14 pounds for the head and 33 pounds for the matching cabinet, the rig is significantly more portable than a full-size SVT setup. The head includes a headphone output and auxiliary input for silent practice, making it a self-contained bass practice solution with vintage Ampeg aesthetics and tone.

“The combination of authentic Ampeg aesthetics and surprisingly three-dimensional tone at low volumes is the most praised quality”
— from the community notes
“Best suited for bedroom practice, direct recording, and small gigs; exceeding the volume sweet spot on the matching 2x10 cabinet produces audible speaker distortion”
