  • Does it ever make sense to combine a 112 with a powered 115 extension cabinet? Or is there a rough rule of thumb to match speaker size? Thx.

  • The very first Gallien Krueger amp that I bought was the MB-115 combo amp. I needed something to use around the house, in the studio and at church. That amp made a believer out of me with Gallien Krueger. I was blessed to sign an endorsement deal with them in February of 2017 and with that deal I got the Gallien Krueger MB 800 Fusion Head and NEO 410 Cab. By far it is the most versatile, best sound amp and cab that I have ever owned. What seems like endless power and the amp and cab produce a very clean and clear sound. I can even down tune my 5 string basses and playing the low B string and not have a bit of distortion, unless I switch over the channel B, that is set up to hit the tubes a little harder for an intentional, slightly distorted sound. I will soon be adding the Gallien Krueger PLEX pre-amp to everything for even more added versatility.

  • I have a question that I haven't had time to ask so here I go. I've just traded gear for a GK MB210 and I will need more than 350 watts for the style/volume I play. So i have a Peavey Tour 450 head powering a 4ohm 400wart Warwick 4:10 cab. I was told I could buy some kind of "power splitter box" pedal and hook the GK210 to power the 400 watt, 4ohm Warrwiick can and then I'd have more wattage (yes I know if I got 500watts I'd blow the Warwick. Anyways I play Doom/Sludge metal and I don't know much about pedals, preamps, etc. because all I use on pedalboard is fuzz, overdrive, optional multi effects and a tuner. So honestly I want to keep this GKmb210 and sell other stuff off and pair this 2×10 up with high wattage 1×15 and then i should get the best non tube amp bass sound to show up in the mix with my guitar player:s rig which is so loud it's like an industrial machine. He has the Matt Pike(guitarist for SLEEP) sound. So thanks for reading and j appreciate any replies.

  • I don't see how you can say that adding a separate powered cab will double your wattage. Poor GK, trying to monopolize the extension speaker world, when in actuality their approach is questionable at best. How could it give you double the wattage, headroom, or double anything? They will not add to each other in separate power amps. It will still be the same wattage and headroom just 2 different sources. You will be pushing more air with more speakers and fill a room better, maybe put them several feel from each other and notice a difference that way. But you can do this with literally any 2 amps of similar wattage when you need your sound to fill a room better. Run the effects loop send from amp 1 into the effects loop return of amp 2. Now you have the tone from amp 1 using just the power on amp 2. It's the same sound, from two different sources, if the wattage is the same then the headroom is the same. The only way you can make this claim is if you obviously get a powered cab that puts out more watts than your amp. Or in my example amp 2 could be more powerful than amp 1 and give you additional wattage and headroom that way when needed

  • I call GK recently to get direction on which rig would be best for my needs. I was fortunate to be connected with Jason. He is by far the most knowledgeable sales tech I've ever talked to. He explains specs. in a way that anyone can understand. Great job Jason. Thank you GK.   R.Garrison
