I'm doing this of sheer interest in how many of those are out there and actively used.
(Plus I took those two eerie photos last night, which have to go somewhere.

I got one. No number please.

COUNT ME IN!

I'm in. Although I'm waiting for a warranty replacement head. Mine died at about 5-6 weeks old as described in the thread below. Ampeg CS was great to deal with, but they won't have any in stock to ship me a new for for a couple more weeks. I've gone back to my old lower end tube pre and direct to the mixer for now. I really miss the Micro VR.

Ampeg Micro-VR R.I.P.

That is a cool little stack. It looks like it would be great for those people who have little room for anything else. This thing looks like it would hide behind an open door.
The only thing that would scare me is it looks like it would fall over too easy.

it's pretty stout. you definitely don't want to charge into it, but it won't fall so easily.

YEP, it's pretty cool! And sounds great too!

The stack is actualy pretty sturdy, as Jimmy said. The other day I had a gig with a boarded floor stage. It wavered a bit and it wasn't even also.
Still the stack wasn't easily pushed out of balance.

And it fitting behind an open door is another quality that comes in very handy on the smaller stages I play.
It always fits and due to the vertical stack I'm able to hear myself very well. No matter how close I'm standing to it.

That's how cool it is!

well...uhm....why not.

or you could do your own stv210av club.

moishelichtfuss · #13 03-14-2011, 10:40 AM

Very nice. I was on the verge of buying a second 210av for a couple of times. The fact that I parked my micro on that 410 always kept me from it, though the latter doesn't belong to me, I'm always welcome to use it.

Well, if you'll ever got the money, buy a second one! It realy ads much more depth, punch and power.
If you do: Don't buy it at Thomann. At least not for the Thomann price which is €345. I negotiated the cabs for €275 at Rockpalace: Ampeg Micro VR Stack

what about durability?! Do you think it's durable for tough use?? I really want to get one... damn, what a gas attack in the middle of the night...

Hnz · #20 03-15-2011, 04:41 AM

Well, can't be sure. I use it daily for practice, mostly once or twice a week for rehearsels and a few times a month for gigging.
I've been using it this way for a few months now. And uptill now it hasn't had any isues.
