GK MB-212 Users I need your help

I want one of these so bad, but nobody has one to try out. Im playing with 2 guitards and a drummer and just need to know can this keep up in a band practice setting? We do play a loud rock style(think nirvana) and if this thing could cut through and still provide good lows I want it!

I'd ask around and find out how it compares to the 2x10, those are around all over to try out

Zero problems cutting through 2 guitars and a drummer here. Classic hard rock tunes.

And FWIW, GC is having a 15% off sale this weekend including GK.

Plenty loud for me

I got to use mine at rehearsal last Tuesday. We play classic rock with a drummer, one guitar and a fairly loud keyboard player. I had plenty of volume with the master volume set under 1/4 up. I used a passive L style 5 string with a VT bass pedal with it.
