Hey Indigo - is the grill cloth exactly the same on your Micro VR and on your AV? I was looking at an SVT-AV head at a GC sitting next to a Micro VR, and it looked like the Micro VR had more blue to the grill cloth. From a distance they looked pretty much the same- but up close the AV didn't have that much blue, and the weave of the cloth was a bit tighter. It wasn't the "black and silver" cloth you find on Portaflexes and Diamond Blue amps but it did look to be factory original. Just a slight difference...

Actually it seems to be the same grill cloth. Though the Micro is brand new, so it sparkles a little bit more. Maybe it's not exactly the same, I haven't looked in detail. But I was afraid it would be the grill cloth that was featured on a Vietnampeg SVT-VR rig, that was in the backline once. That grill cloth had no blue in it at all. But this sure has blue in it.

These pictures is not photographed at the same time or with the same settings, but you can see that both have blue and silver threads. First the SVT-AV, then the 210AV cabinet.
