| I had the combo version, the MB4410.
Very good for the price, very good head and also the cab. I sold it just because it was way too heavy (52 Kg, some 115 pounds!). Also very good for a lot more price than I paid for it (480€ brand new!). The new owner is happy gigging with it.
Pros:
-Sound (remember, when combined with the cab section inside the combo!).
-Flexibility (13 rotary knobs?). This flexibility is easy to use.
-The 3 channels. Footswitch.
-Tube pre-amp in classic.
-A lot of power.
-Low noise.
-I was overall very happy, a serious amp a bit more expensive than a toy amp.
Cons:
-In my case, weight (remember, combo version).
-Compressor in modern channel is not good (too fast attack, you hear a noise when it starts working). Don't have high expectations on it.
-Max power, 450W is @ 2 ohms load, 300W @ 4 ohms. It was very loud on the 4x10 combo, but I don't know how efficient these speakers were (no way to find this info on the net).
-Quality Control: Mine came with tweeter disconnected (both wires!). Very easy to fix, but I saw reports of other users with bigger problems related to poor QC. Mine was free of them with the exception of the connection (fixed in 5 minutes, I did not use the warranty). But it was obious the amp was not properly tested after fully assembled. I'd definitely recommend to buy it... but with a good trial period or warranty policy just in case.
-Modern channel does not have a gain control, an extremely hot active bass could saturate input stage if you bosst lows (I happened to have such a bass, a Peavey Cirrus). Even when you use the head in "active" as supposed. I guess this will not happen with most basees. In case it happens just lower your bass volume a bit. Not a serious issue, not a reason to consider a different head.
