Both this idea and the victor technically wouldn't limit the actual voltage, just the duty cycle of the signal.

I'm pretty sure that the Spike cannot operate at high frequencies like a Victor. If I remember right, the max cycling is like 20hz for just a few seconds. The Victors are solid state, but the spikes are actually a mechanical relay- thats the clicking noise. This limits the frequency as well as the life cycles that the unit can handle. Otherwise, I think your idea is right, just not with our hardware.
