Hello all, I was wondering what advice you could give as to what can I should get for my GK mb115 combo amp.
I'm looking to get a bit louder without pushing it too hard. I want to get a GK cab obviously so they fit nicely and look good.
I believe they have a new version of my combo amp now, so I'm not sure what can will work with it best. I was looking at the GK neo series and the new line of GK mb cabs. I'm not quite sure what the difference between a powered cab and a normal cab is, or which I need in my situation.
Thanks for the advice, Ethan |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: Sioux Falls, SD | | I had heard that GK offered to mod the older versions of the MB combo amps for free to include the slave output, so you can chain into one of the new MBP powered enclosures. Here's my source: GK new MBP Powered Enclosures? (More info please!)
If this is something you'd be interested in, it would be worth a call to GK. |

| | | I use this Line 6 M5. It has two inputs and 2 outputs plus 100 effects. I got mine on sale for $110 at L and M in Canada.  
But if that is too much just get an ABY switch for around $50 and you are good to go.
I am also curious and might start a new thread about daisy chaining these two amps, so I just use the preamp on the master and the slave is just acting as a powered cab...
hmm I think I will post a new thread

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2011 Location: Santa Rosa, CA USA | | | I use to use my old Boss GT-6B to drive my two GK MB115s etc, because I already had it before I got the Lehle P-Split splitter (but I rarely use effects (like never) and the splitter is smaller and I can use it for other stuff too so I got it).
NOTE: Both the Lehle splitter and the Radial Big Shot have ground lift and phase shift switches and an "isolated out" - and I recommend this for whichever split/switch you may buy.
IMPORTANT - If you drive two amps make sure both amps are plugged into the same AC power outlet.
