New amp and 2x10 cabinet

Sign in to disble this ad
I have got a GK MB210 and love the little beast, I have one `HUGE` gripe though, I bought it because at the time it would very soon have a little brother called the GK MBE210, or so the shops and GK said, well many months have passed (over 6 months in fact) and still no sign of little MBE, this is really peeing me off now, to the extent that I am thinking of selling my amp and buying another make that is available to get me to the 500 Watt minimum level that I originally wanted, I feel dissapointed that it was advertised so long ago, I looked at Thomann (online music store) and they mention November 26th as a date expected for this cab, I will give it till xmas then decide .
In the meantime, what set up would you guys recommend, my requirements are now as follows;

Separate amp head not combo
Minimum 500 Watts
2x10 cab/cabs (one if possible)
Must all be as lightweight as possible
Must not put me in the position of having to rob a bank !

I welcome your suggestions

If you are gigging, a pair of 2x10s or a 4x10 would be a minimum in my mind. The due date for the GK cabinet is only a few weeks away.

I welcome your suggestions
Since your already familiar with and like the G.K. sound I'd suggest your looking at a G.K. MB-500 head.
350 watts at 8 ohms.
500 watts at 4 ohms.
3.8 lbs.
Pair that head with a 8 ohm, 210, Neo cabinet that's available to you in the U.K. that you like, add another matching 8 ohm 210 down the road when funds permit.
I'm running a G.K. MB-500 head into two, 8 ohm, Avatar Neo 210 cabinets that are stacked as a vertical 410...love this rig!
Use one 210 for rehearsals/small low-volume gigs, both cabinets when more bottom, volume and coverage is needed.

Thanks for the replies, I did look at the Orange Terror amp and the 4x10 SP isobaric cab, I am intrigued by these cabs but cant help thinking they wont be any louder than a 2x10, they have the same surface area ?
I also looked at the Genz Benz below;

http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitar-...589/p7532.aspx

They only sell it with the 8 0hm cab I believe so it wont give the full 600 watts as it stands .
Oh well, maybe santa will be kind to me
