GK Fusion 550 NEO 212-ii phots

Sign in to disble this ad
Ive been seriously thinking about trading into a gk fusion 550 amp with a gk neo 212 cab. I know they make one in 4x10 and im just not sure which one to pickup. I like deep clear lows, some nice growly mids, clear highs. I usually only play 80's hard rock, some 90's metal..and for grins a little old style country...merle haggard and waylon j...nice beer drinkin songs. haha

Which one of the cabs listed above will come closer to providing what I want in prior listed terms. I'm more of a low end with some nice mid growl to it.

I have an original USA GK Neo 212 and it sounds fantastic. It would be great for what you describe. It has more low end than you would expect.

I can't comment on the 410 since I have an Ampeg.

I have both of these cabinets and the Fusion 550. One of these days I am going to do a side by side. They are both great cabinets. The 410 might be a little brighter and the 212 is a lot lighter. Single cab situations the 212 wins the day.

FWIW - I have been thinking about going to 2-212s. I just like those cabs.

It would definitely be a single cab situation. haha don't think my neighbors or wife would be too excited about me having a full stack. I get enough complaints as is from my mb115 combo, from the wife that is. I just love the tone on the 550, at least the few clips I've heard, that and I was thinking the 2x12 weight wouldnt be so bad and probably not a whole lot bigger than my mb115. The grit on the 550 just sounds awesome. Either way I'm sure its way more than what I need, but it still doesn't hurt to reeaally want it. It's either this or a G&L SB2 /Ibby SRT900dx. Decisions Decisions.

I have a Fusion 550 and two NEO 2x12 cabinets. Live I only use one 2x12 cabinet on 1/4 volume with it max directed to the PA. Sounds great and don't need anything more than that!!
