Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. I've had my MB115 for a few months, and I love it, but in trying to compete with my guitarist's 100w amp at full throttle, I have to crank the gain and master to an uncomfortable level in order to hear myself (and, of course, I can't talk him into turning...

+1 to that. She's actually got a good voice. Sure it goes off here and there, but part of that could be the crap mic in the camera and part could be vocal strain or a sore throat or almost anything. Like the man says, don't dismiss her melody writing. It doesn't matter how solid the band is...

I have the 115. Love it, but would have bought the 210 if I could afford it because of the ability to add an ext. cab. I'd stay away from the 112 simply because it does not have separate volume and gain - just one gain knob that controls both. Personally (and no offense to the guys at GK!), I...

I had the exact same problem with my first one. Even posted a thread here asking for opinions. It definitely wasn't loose-grill rattle - more of a background buzz on the low notes. Had GC order me a replacement, and it's better, but I still notice it sometimes. Seems to happen more when...

Wow... Talk about short scale! It's amazing that it sounds that clear!! With strings that short I'd expect it to be super muddy, but it's actually got great definition. I want one now!

I'm also in the market for an OD pedal, and had pretty much decided on the Big Muff, but then I discovered the Phat Hed - I checked some youtube demos and I think I actually like the sound of the PH more (and it's cheaper!). But watching demos and using first-hand, every day, are very different...

I should add one thing - I did actually think I got another bad unit the next day after I picked up the replacement amp, because I had speaker buzz again (though not as bad as the first). I was pretty upset about it, and posted on this forum, asking for opinions - one guy responded and...

I picked up a floor model MB115 at GC about a month ago. Loved the tone and features, but the speaker started buzzing horribly after a couple of days. I didn't really push it hard, so it wasn't user error. Took it back in and they arranged to order a replacement for me. Picked up the new one...

Funny... I just A/B'd this amp with the GK MB210 a week ago and I thought the GK beat it hands down. I don't think this amp had a bad sound (apart from some horrible intermittent crackling, but that was probably just that particular unit), but it didn't seem to have the tonal options of the...

I'll second the suggestion that you go somewhere and A/B them. It sounds like money isn't too much of a problem, so let the tone be the deciding factor. Tone is king.

+1 on Geezer's 'Warpigs' tone. That's funny because I was thinking about this thread at work today and decided I'd finally post a reply, and I planned on mentioning that very song! My other nominations go to Jeff Ament on 'Go' from the Vs. record (one of the best intros ever!) and most of...

Okay? If that was your last post I won't bother to address it other than to say... Have a good one, dude. And thanks again.

Thank you!! Finally! I was starting to feel like I'd taken crazy pills or something... But you have validated my sanity. May you have a long life filled with whatever it is that you dig. Peace.

You make some valid points, but the problem is your assumption that I don't know what I'm doing in the first place, dude! As I said, I've left the limiter on. Also, there is NOT a clip indicator, unless the light on the power button doubles as one, in which case I never clipped. Lastly, I...

Holy cow... Take it easy guys! You sound like your taking personal offense to my expectations of this amp, and unless you work for GK, I can't understand that. If I had a super hot active, or if I was "redlining" with my single humbucker passive, you'd have a point. But when a knob goes all...
