Ampeg Micro-VR reliabilty

I've been toying around with the idea of getting one of these, and this discussion has been pretty helpful. I was looking for a decent little combo amp, instead of having to haul the stack around all the time, but this seems to be a good alternative. I wonder if they plan on releasing a smaller lightweight 12 or 15 for this setup.

~r~
 
just wondering about the limiter on this amp.
why is there an option to have it on/off?
if it protects your speakers, isn't it good to have it always on?
if your peak led is not lighting, is there no point in engaging the limiter?
thanks!

Our Technical Editor, Tom Lees, spends a bit of time discussing the Micro-VR's limiter in his technical review (in issue #4). He has a graph, and everything! :D

Thx for the reminder Tom.

Funny how things doesn't stick in your mind when you're not interested. As I was reading it again, I remembered reading it but since I wasn't interested in Ampeg and didn't own the rig at the time, my mind discarded the info lol

Anyhow... yep very clear and explanatory analysis.
