Ampeg sound without the broken back
I bought one of these to match my Ampeg micro VR head, with turned out to be a great rig for smaller situations. The tone of this cab is really great, and very close to the big brother, Ampeg 810 "fridge" cabinet. It does not have huge low end, although that isnΒ΄t what I expected from a sealed 210 cabinet. It does, however, have very nice low mids and makes for a great cab for recording, bar gigs, practicing, or quenching your thirst for vintage ampeg sound, especially with the matching head.
I eventually got another one, and stacking them vertically made them into a great 410 without too much hassle to move around. I sold them to fund another ported cab, since I found the lack of deep low end didnΒ΄t suit my needs at the time. I miss these cabs now.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants a lightweight cab with a classic ampeg sound.
I would not recommend it to anyone who plans on using it on bigger shows without PA-support.

Great for rehearsals and recording
OK, so Ampeg needs no introduction, and this is their baby brother to the legendary SVT 8x10 cab. I put it to the test by playing against my 4x12 Orange cab, and it held quite nicely in terms of volume and sound quality. The overall build is very good. I like that the cab itself is very light and that you can remove the front panel to see where exactly the speakers are positioned. I use it almost exclusively for recording, but it could be well used in rehearsals and for small clubs and stages. I'm not sure if it could be enough against two guitarists with half stacks and a very loud drummer. I don't have the matching head, so I use it with my Orange AD200 MKII amp, and it sounds very good. The speakers are clear and punchy. For mobility its great - light and compact. You can easily put it in the trunk of a car. Also, I've seen it used many times by professional musicians.

great souding pocket rocket
for the weight and size of this thing it sounds massive. You should pair it to the Ampeg Micro VR, not the Micro CL.
Great product, add some nice pedals and save up on your chiropractor bills. Lovely.

Nice and light
I don't have a larger SVT cab to compare the sound directly to, but it sounds nice in and of itself anyway. I was pleasantly surprised by how light it actually is as well. Some feet on the side might have useful for stacking.

Good sounding cab
Been running it with Ampeg micro vr mostly,
but lately two of these with Hartke 3500.
Suprising how much such a small cab can produce that low end boom when needed. These are keeper cabs. The best part is that its a LOT easier to move around than a full size Ampeg fridge.
