GK Goldline 500 bundle

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys,

I'm thinking of maybe getting a new amp soon. The one I currently have I'm pretty happy with (Laney HardcoreMax30B) albeit it being a relatively cheap 50 watt thing, and I'm only practicing for the moment and I can get a good tone out of it.

But I was looking on Thomann and they offer a GK Goldline 500 bundle (GK 500 Head + 4x10 Goldline cab) (+ Sssnakee cable) for around 499 euros. I thought this looked like a good offer, my budget isn't too far away from it, but how good is this amp? I'd like something punchy with well defined clarity at the same time

I'm quite tempted by some of the stuff there. The GK and also the Kustom bundles look interesting. Then I saw the mini SVT.Oh....

The Goldline head sounds great, different from other GK amps. Thick, round, almost tubelike. LOUD! The cabs, not so much. The two don't really match up, the head is far more powerful than the cabs can handle. I've heard a LOT of reports of the speakers blowing quite easily. You'd be better off spending a little more on a Backline or MB series cab.

Also, does anybody know if it has line out or effects send and return inputs? It doesn't seem to say anywhere... (Unless its meant to be presumed of course)
