| | | | I've got one coming, should be here by Friday.
Plan on using it with an SL900.
But, believe me, I'm the last guy on here you want a review from.... this will be my first separate cab/amp rig so I will be all wide eyed and awe struck as it is ....I'll try though.

| | | | OK, been messing with my newly acquired GB Focus 410 for a couple days now... here's what I have discovered:
I have a lot of objects that vibrate in my family room, even stuff you would not think could vibrate.
Small nails do not make for good picture hooks.
It is hard to see broken glass in a thick rug.
I have to learn how to mute strings better.
Gain, volume and master all do the same thing...yet different things.
I think I'm going to get Hearos.
Hal Leonard exercises now sound awesome.... even if I still can't get past the 5th position.
My wife and son think my elevator has stopped a few stories short of the top.
I believe this rig will improve my playing in a very deep, spiritual way..... and I can't wait.

Your GAS is stinky...especially in a hot wood shop. | Not to hijack the thread, but Hapa, is the Grant Fergusen you play with Scottish and used to live in Jacksonville by any chance?
Thanks,

I love the low end being tight and controlled. The B string has good definition.
Maybe, maybe, a tad dark/scooped (high mids) sounding (keep in mind I've been using NEOX exclusively for the last 9/10 months)….
plenty of gigs on the calendar... will have a better idea…
Later

BTW, even my band mates liked it! it was balanced and not overwhelming on stage and still being able to project far into the crowd.... |

I will be playing a walkabout and jazz through them and will post my opinion later but am very excited at the weight/price/reputation factor. |
