Join Dino "Mr. Ampeg" Monoxelos as he walks you through the tones and features of the Ampeg Micro-CL Stack bass head and cabinet

The Ampeg Micro-CL Stack delivers 100 watts of Ampeg tone into any situation. It features a tough, 2x10″ cab and tools like a stereo input and output for silent practice, effects loop and direct out for recording. It's everything you want in a full stack, micro-sized to fit perfectly into your life.

I love this amp. I haven't even used past level 3. It rocks my entire apartment!

“ and as always, play more bass.”
What a legend

[ouroborosexperiment]

It really is a great all-around little amp. It sounds great at bedroom levels and more than keeps up when I'm jamming with my buds. I love the shit out of my Micro-CL

that's generally for people using active basses. active basses have a higher output and can drive the amp a little hard, so they would use the -15db input. however, there is no harm in plugging in a passive or active bass into either input.

I think it's the best Bass amp out there

What was the thought process behind eliminating the gain control?  That's the most important feature of an Ampeg bass amp, IMO.  Seems like there's plenty of room above the Aux In to put a level control there and put gain back in the control section.

Happy Holidays Dino. Love your vids and your bass playing

[Audiodiver]

its an option that has to do with the type of bass you are using,
i.e. for an Active bass -15Db, 0db for passive ones

I just got this one from a pawn shop today. I wanted something smaller but still has a lot of wattage, and it certainly does! The highest I've had it was level 4, and can't go beyond that, it might damage my hearing!!! I also have a 450 watt Eden bass amp, then a 50 watt Marshall with effects. On this Ampeg I'm using a RP100a effects box with a Wawa pedal. This little amp sure can put out the sound!!!

Gigged one of these a few days ago. Pretty good audibility but starts overdriving right off the bat.

I liked the video. Missing though - the back panel. What are the connections on the back? The still shots (pics) I’ve seen - when zoomed in are so fuzzy it’s hard to figure out without going to the internet to pull up a user’s guide. Wondering if adding a single 15 cabinet to the set would provide a bit more bottom in, when playing a small venue that the PA doesn’t afford an input for bass. Thanks for a clean & straight video.👍🏻

This guy has "MONO" in his name! Works at the right place. 😂

even though i am primarily a guitarist, i really like bass amps for their clarity and true tonality. would the micro cl be a good choice for jazz/progressive jazz guitar with single coils? i also use baritone tuning and sometimes Bass IV tuning.

I play 5 string bass and play primarily on the low B 5th string. I want to get this as a bedroom practice amp not for live. If I had this amp on 12 o'clock can/ will it support the low B? Or am I better off getting the micro VR?

[Arcade]

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

Great review, it is possible to connect the ampeg 1x15 cabinet of 200 watts at 8 ohms to that head??

[Teapotbouy]

I bought one of these and I DO love it but the first time I drove the "custom design drivers" hard for a decent practice they blew. I replaced them for non standard less "ampeg custom design" drivers and it is much better.

[cobinfire]

Hey, I´m just getting into Ampeg and I was just wondering which micro should I get, which one is better VR or CL... for now I´m just looking for something for practice and maybe a small gig... what do you suggest? thank you

What's causing the popping sound at 2:07????

[wayne]

Will it keep up with a string quartet with six oboe players? I NEED TO KNOW
