I saw this thread and searched the internet for GK 800 Legacy looking for some official announcement... guess what the only thing I found was? This thread...

To be honest...I didn't ever play really the overdrive that much...I was so into the straight tone didn't dive that hard.@TonyP, Have you had the chance to find out whether the overdrive/edge/etc combination of functions on this amp provide a foot-switchable boost (with adjustable dirt) sort of like traditional GK boost channels of the RB and MB series? I'd sure like to see a picture of the back some time.
I did a little off the cuff break down...
The MB amp line is being replaced with the new fusion line.Are these replacing the MB amps or will they both stay in the GK lineup?
Not exacty, the replacement for that would be the new 500 Fusion.What are the future plans for the MB200? It's one of my favorite amps and since downsizing, it's been my go to. It seems like all the 500 watt and up amps are being upgraded.
Is there going to be a "new" MB200?
Check out the video I did with GK for the new amps earlier in this thread.So there isn’t going to be a 200 Fusion?
Get the 4 ohm version of the CX410Asked GK about how to get the classic 800rb through an Ampeg 810 stack in a smaller package via email. I was directed to the CX210 or CX410 along with an attachment for one of these Legacy amps that should begin shipping in May. Super stoked!
Don't know if you know, but asked another way - Will GK continue to manufacture any of the current MB line? ...or will 500 watts be the smallest going forward? Thx for fielding all this curiosity, @tonyp!So there isn’t going to be a 200 Fusion?
I cannot say I did not try it...But lets think about this...Its a 1200 watt amp that does down to 2 ohms..I mean how the hell can it not slam?so are the fusions all class D, like if I'm partial to the fusion 550...i'm assuming the 1200 watt guy would have comparable slam to the regular 550 amp?
