I've heard that Fender makes people take the Rumble stuff in order to be a dealer. Plus if you notice the brands who's heads are now approaching $1000 aren't in GC showrooms (the ones I go to) any longer. .
With guitar center sure, but lots of manufacters require that dealers keep certain amounts of certain products in stock to maintain a dealership or dealership level.I'll betcha it's the other way around. GC prolly dictates to Fender what they will supply them with AND how much they will buy them for. Just speculating. GC is HUGE! ---------------$2.14 BILLION -------------------------------Guitar Center - Wikipedia
Hope Santa brings me 1200w for ChristmasLooks pretty cool.
Price points are 899, 1049, 1199
On board compressors are a nice feature. My Mesa M9 Carbine has one and it always gets used!I'm thinking that the pre-amp and power amp design are similar and that the biggest attraction for me is the built in compressor. OTOH, I'm pretty happy with my MBF 800 and wonder if there are bigger differences than my speculation.
Could this set the stage for a new group of 1200 watt micro heads?
1200 watts into 2ohms, great for all those stadium gigs.....Hope Santa brings me 1200w for Christmas

Well, no stadiums, but I have some friends that beat on drums and like to play loud guitars and I can't tell you how much I enjoy listening to them complain when I crank the svt or the gk1200 watts into 2ohms, great for all those stadium gigs.....![]()
I wonder if they'll have new cab offerings too.
whoever approved of that awful ugly logo from the CX cabs needs to be shot,
So no news yet? I'm kinda worried about gk.Wow - it was a year a go that the first product/proto photo was released.
I love me some GK - but - compare that to the wd-800 and new subway cabs - where we all (well, most of us) found out DAYS before they hit stores. No teasers.
Now, I'm about to drop quite a bit of money on a NICE GK rig, but I think they could learn a little bit from some (not all lol) of their competitors.
They are a great company, great people, great innovators. But just actually have an actual product READY to go.
The GK amp might be outdated/outdone by the time it even hits shelves. I wouldn't be surprised it they went back to the design stage again.
