FT: GK MB500

remy26 · #1 10-30-2011, 07:55 PM

Great little, lightweight amp in excellent condition. No pics at the moment, but it looks brand new. I really like how it sounds, but I miss having an aux in for practicing. This will come with the original box, footswitch and manual. Looking for a US deal only.

Really only looking for a another micro with the aux in capability. Something like a GB Shuttle 6.0 or an Eden of some sort would fit the bill wonderfully. I have a Zvex Distortron or maybe even a tiny bit of cash that I could probably throw in to even out a deal as well. Let me know what you got!

This is the MB500, NOT an MB2500.

From the GK website:

MB 500
• 500 watts @ 4 ohms, 350 watts
@ 8 ohms
• 10dB pad
• Four-band active EQ w/variable contour
• Effects loop and tuner output with mute
• Headphone/line output
• XLR out, pre/post EQ & ground lift switch
• Boost footswitch
• Two speakon outputs
• 10.75x8.5x1.75

Thanks!

Let me know if you decide to sell outright

I have a short list of people that I'll contact in order if I decide to sell, but really looking for a trade. Anything out there?

Bump!

How about an Ampeg PF-350 plus cash? It has the aux in you are looking for and gets darn loud.

Thanks for the offer, but I've tried out the PF350 and it just didn't do anything for me so I'll have to pass. There are quite a few people who seem to love them, so I'm not sure what my problem is, but I just don't think it's for me.

In case you don't find a trade you like, a looper like a Jamman will give you access to an aux and will give you a drum machine and of course the loop function.

Cool, hadn't thought of that. I might have to try that out. Thanks for the info!

I'll leave this open to a trade for now, but definitely nice to know that there are other options.

FYI a Korg Pandora in front of any amp will give you aux in, tuner, drum beats and a gaggle of effects. You can also use it as a comprehensive headphone amp with all the same features. Under 100 used.

Lots of options in front of the amp, but i'd still love to find something with integration...

Any shuttles or Edens out there?

Friday bump!

One more bump...

How would you like an GK MB210? Nearly new. Has the aux in. 500 watts. 33 lbs.

Thanks for the offer, but I have an awesome cab that suits my needs so a combo isn't really what I'm looking for right now. I actually ran this head with a MBE 210 before I switched it out for a GB. It was a nice setup, that's for sure.

remy26 · #16 11-14-2011, 02:35 PM

Had some great offers, but that one that's just right doesn't seem to be popping up. I think I'll keep this one for now and see if some of the great ideas above will work! Thanks for everyone's interest!
