Thanks Jimmy, oh god I feel dumb. I only looked for the cabinet on the guitar center page under recommended accessories. You would think that a matching cabinet would be recommended and not just a guitar stand or cable. Anyways it looks super cool, I might have to get one for fun and a little practice amp for home use.

I already own one. It may look somewhat like a toy, but I'm impressed with the tone it puts out. It's an amazing practice amp but it also works great for my church gigs. I haven't had a chance to run two SVT210AV cabs with the Micro-VR but I'd imagine it would be pretty killer. I love that the cabs are 27 lbs and have a handle on top.

i just got one from a fellow tb'er and really dig it. i only have an ea wizzy 12 to pair it with but would love to try it's sister cab. while i think the 200 watt rating is fair (meaning it sounds like it's 200 watts, not 500...), the overall tone and eq flexibility is far, far better than i expected. i also have an old ampeg fliptop that weighs a ton and is like 30 watts or something, and i dialed a very similar sound quickly. i think i'll get alot of use from this thing for small gigs and rehearsals and such...

I've now put the micro-vr and two 210av cabs thru their paces, and I can say that yeah, they're "cute," but they're amazingly functional.
great tone
light weight
with two cabs it'll cover even my loud jobs.
clearly, you're not gonna compete with cretinous guitards spaking their marshalls full out, but for my needs, it's fine.

so there.

full review in bassgearmag forthcoming; complete with snakes. long story.
