Chaining Two Ampeg SVT Micro-VR Stacks

Sign in to disble this ad
So I am in love with the new SVT Micro-VR stack but I can't imagine it could hang in with a full band playing, even with the extension cab. To compensate, I'm thinking about buying 2. =) That would be two heads and two cabs. Before I do this, I gots me some questions. Riddle me this:

1) Would two SVT Micro-VR Stacks hold up with an average funk/r&b band on stage?

2) How the heck would I chain these cabs together? The rear schematic from Ampeg looks like this:



How would I chain off of this?

3) Should I buy 3? =) Once I'm up to 4, I'll just bring out my '73 Blackline and 810 cab.

Just get a 4x10 to go with it and it'll be plenty loud.

I was thinking the same thing, basically to have enough juice (and I've had some bad experience with class d - so I'm avoiding the portaflex stuff, as tempting as it is!)

class d is a solid technology at this point. it's been around close to 30 years. and any amp can break.
