The 200RB is killing it through an 8 ohm 15 with a mids driver/passive x-over. Still deciding whether to use the SansAmp Bass Fly Rig along with, but it's a great sound, I really like what it does when I hit it hard, which I tend to do. Looking into an 800RB now.
I don't think I'll gig it with the SWR G-II Jr though, a 4 ohm box. Pushing it like that into 4 ohms for a night is probably asking for trouble.

Roger, Question does the back of the 200 look like this?

 

[Count Bassie]

No, mine says "SPEAKERS 8 OHM" on the back, with two jacks.
I'm thinking it's the same head as that 115B Combo, which had a 16 ohms speaker in its enclosure. You could add another 16 ohm speaker for the 8 ohm load...

The pix are on my phone, which won't upload here.

It is inconvenient that my gig cabs are 4 ohms... Working on acquiring that 800.

Ok, because they is the back of the 200 that I have on loan.

Different model/series... ok. Yep I'm back to running at 8 ohms. Thanks for checking it out though.

That's confusing. Could you read it to mean one 8 ohm speaker in each jack?

There are two Jacks, grouped together with the graphics on the back panel. In the middle of the bracket indicating the Jacks, it says "8 OHM" (using the Greek character Ohm).
Still can't load a photo.

You know, that would make sense in consideration of the one @TonyP- posted the photo of.
But the 115B combo uses the same head and runs only down to 8 ohms, so I've read.

Ok then… sounds like 8 ohms.

I found this on Reverb from an expired listing.

There were have it.
Funny that @TonyP- has one the runs at 4 ohms.

Interesting that does not even have XLR outs.
There are 2 outputs on that and I can't imagine it was designed for 2 16ohm cabinets. Not for bass…

Here is the back of mine

Do it! The 800 is a beast. It's the only amp I will NEVER part with.

Very different from mine.
The combo, I have read in a thread here on TB, has a 16 ohm driver in its enclosure, with an extension jack for another 16 ohm enclosure. Early model, they only made a small number of them it seems. GK went through some phases.

When are we going to hear anything about the new RB series? I can't wait to see what they feature.

 

[Count Bassie]

Question for the knowing: do the MB-II combos deliver the renown GK growl like the RB series heads?
You know, that "Hitting the Rails" thing.
I must know.
Thanks for your time.

My MB115-II absolutely does. It sounds great when driven hard

I've not played an RB, but have achieved the Growl on my MB212-II.

I think you can do it with the MB210, MB212, MB115, and MB410 combos, but the others only have Gain, but no master volume, so to hit the Rails, it would be stupid loud.

 

[Modulus 96]

How do you find it best to hit the rails? Crank the boost or the woofer? (While controlling overall volume with the volume knob)

According to the GK manual if you want to "hit the rails" you lower woofer and add more boost.

Woofer?...
More Master vol for clean, more Gain for growl?
Not sure what that technically means for "hitting the rails", but... actually I just am put upon by the word "woofer"...
