But not sure when its coming out. I will sell something first but not the Fusion 500. Its very powerful for 500 watts. At this point it pretty much fits my needs. Rattling my house. Enough power for the TCw15AF. Wanted a micro amp and was tossing between this and the TH500. I think I made a good choice.

Which is it?

Have not had something like this in a while. I really love this amp. I like it better than I thought I would. My first GK. Very happy. I feel bad as i got it and played it a while i heard about what happened in connecticut. Im kind of bumed out by it and hard to get the playing feeling. I have a small child and I just can't believe what is happening so close to home. Whats going on in this world. Artist like everyone on this site Im sure are sensitive to it.

The fusion MB500 is good for now. I think it has plenty of power. But playing this I have no doubt I will get the Fusion MB800 also. This amp is above my expectations. Therefore the 800 will have all the power i will ever need. But at this point the 500 is enough with the cab I have. I appreciate listening to everyone on this thread. What I was hearing it just seemed like something that was a good fit with me. Playing it now. Looking foward to tomorrows gig. Gig got canceled tonight. Double booking. Hate Club Owners.

It's loud enough to get you thrown out from a bar. Maybe if you do large stage shows and then it's better to get in-ear monitoring or something similar.
Now, the MB800 Fusion has some control changes that are nice, though. |

Also its taking a long time for it to come out. What I understand it was supposed to be out last june. Must be something going on. But when it does it may be something to check out. But right now I am really happy with the Fusion MB500.
