I Now Have GAS For a Micro VR

Sign in to disble this ad
I may not buy a new amp this year but I think I want my next amp to be a Micro VR.

Listen to this:

YouTube - ‪Micro-VR & SVT-210AV Demo‬‏

Is that not some awesome, warm tone? I love it. And the price is right, too.

Anyone here have one? It's not the powerhouse to end all powerhouses in terms of wattage but I think it's gigable if you used a bigger cab... does anyone have good experiences with one?

I've used it for a few months now. It's not high volume, but it will crank pretty decently, and through the PA I'm hard pressed to tell the difference between it and my SVT or B-15. The cab really comes to life when you boost the low end a little.

That you can compare it to your SVT and B-15 says a lot about the quality of tone. I think the cab would work well in lower volume settings and the sound is just fantastic (in my opinion, anyway).

I'll put it this way....in an AB between them directly, I can tell the difference There's a certain weight to the tube amps' sound that isn't quite there in the Micro VR. Thru the PA, not as much.
