"totally unnecessary" was before I knew you wanted to run more than two cabs AND before I understood you wanted to be able to push it to overdrive at lower volumes. All is clear now.

GK mb200 ultra light head?

Actually in the "bad ol' days" I commonly would run a 4 ohm vertical 2x15 on my side of the drummer and an 8 ohm 1x15 on the other side from a sub-200-watt 4 ohm rated SS amp no prob - dunno if that would cook one of these little guys or not

I'm just looking forward to trying an MB200 through my Berg HT112/EX112 stack.... Have a good feeling about this combo...

I believe that the MB200 requires a minimum 4Ω load (one 4Ω cab or two 8Ω cabs).

Yah, that's what they "say" - wonder what it will "do".
Lol... the fact that it will do 200watts in an amp that small is impressive.
I have a Micro-VR also and they both have their own style of "cool"
. The size of the MB200 makes it the perfect backup amp but it is quite capable of being your primary too.

I'm pulling the trigger on one now as we speak.
It will be interesting to see if this little gem will replace my Mesa Walkabout............

Hey: Is it doable/wise to run out of *both* the Line out and the Direct Out at the same time? I would like to sometimes drive a power amp with my MB200, and Im thinking about different ways to drive both channels of the power amp. I mean, its easy to see how that could happen, using both outs; just making sure I dont blow the little guy up.

I think I have a 20% off coupon from them as well and I am just about to pull the trigger.
So I pulled the trigger yesterday. So they are on backorder till around the middle of December.
Yep, mine is delayed as well.
Honestly, I consider this to be a good sign. So far, I can't really remember reading a notably bad post about them, I was pretty darn impressed with the one I played in a store, and they've already had some trouble "keeping them on the shelves". I have a feeling this amp fills a market nitch very nicely that's not well serviced by other products. I'm betting GK will do VERY well with it!

Hopefully this will motivate the other companies (like GB ) to come out with a kickarse entry in the <$300 category
