Weird. I've been mulling over the idea of ditching my 212 to get a pair of 115s. Not at all sure I'm going to try to do that, but... the 212 is still pretty heavy and I'd like to have at least one light cab option. But i'm not sure how loud a pair of the 115s can get if push comes to shove.

Looking to approximate my 700RB and Neo410 sound in a practice rig. Any suggestions? I'm trying to keep it about $300, and used is great. I'm wanting something to mess with effects on, as currently my practice and big rigs sound too different to keep any knobs the same when I find a good effect setting.

8 ohms per, 4 ohm total load for the pair

In case anyone is in the Philly area, I'm moving mine as well for a pair of 112's (on the way.) I just don't ever need this much volume anymore.

Love the look of the black grills on the GK cabs!

Neo212-II with a Neo112-II works pretty darned well (despite the fact that you are pushing the top 12" driver twice as hard as the two in the 212 - Bob says it's okay to do this, and I've done it several times, even at outdoor gigs, and it worked fine).

**Chef** · #**770** 02-01-2013, 01:16 PM

I've done 112 over 212 as well, and it works fine.

Yeah, you guys got me thinking about that one. Which is why one of my short listed options is to get a 115 to go atop the 212. It's a little more closely matched in power than a 112. And by itself it's still large enough to be useful to me but appreciably smaller than the 212.

Good points, all around. Although I have not tried this matchup, myself, so I'm not sure how well they pair up, sonically.

I like the black grills wish my new cab had that!

So any of you ever thinking about putting a tube pedal into the tube preamp of the mbfusion dont bother! I tried a tubeworks bluetube pedal and when you turn it on all it does is EQ or make the same fuzzy tube distortion the mbfusion already makes. I wanted to see if it added some more fullness to the clear sound and it actually made it less full sounding! It sounded better off and just the fusion running!

I see a lot of Pro GK gear talk.

I almost feel bad and out of place to add this post.
But what the heck maybe you guys can enjoy it.

I have a GK Backline 600 with a Backline BLX-II 410 cab.

Like some or most of you might know, this cab has no horn.
So my plan is to add it dead in the center and swap out the connection plate.

This is what i got from Thomann.de

Fostex Horn (Ampeg 8 ohms replacement horn for the SVT Models)
Warwick backplate with attenuator and crossover, 2x jack 2x Speakon

I'm gonna start tomorrow and i will add pictures of the process if you guys don't mind

2 Question,

I noticed that my neo 212 no longer rolls. Looks like the ball bearings blew out of one of the casters. Is this common ? Should I buy 1 replacement or bite the bullet and replace the entire set with something better ?

Second question. My cab is a series 1. How bug is the size difference between series 1 cabs and series IIs ? I want to add a 112 cab on top but finding matching series 1 cabs isnt easy.

15's are staring to make a comeback. Not that it was obsolete. Just that the popularity increased.

I have a MB 112-II and am going to get the 112MBP but have been wondering if the 115 would be better.

I was a diehard 15's only guy for the last 30 years. went down to 10's and didnt like it. I find the 112 to be very pleasing and not as "thick" (which I like) but still wonder about the 15 in the mix at louder volumes....

I got the catalog in the mail the other day and its in there.

I was going to call them to see whats up.

I'd be paying clse to 400 if purchased locally and just 300 if I waited for MF to ship one out....its not like I "need" it Tomorrow...

The casters on my series 1 212 are still going strong.... I would just get 1 replacement.

I don't know the dimensions on the series 2's (check the gk site for the manual... should be in there), but they are definitely wider. I would just keep my eye out for a series 1 112.... they come up in the classifieds every now and again...... but they won't be either of mine! I love them!

Well there ya go, I still don't see em on their site. If you can wait getting it from them will be the cheapest.
