New GK Plex Preamp

[JackANSI]

Price aside, this has my attention. Under $300? Done deal. Anything over and it's going to be riding the bottom of my list for a while, despite my curiosity.




Who am I kidding... drool

As long as it doesn't take many months or years to hit the shelves, I'll snap this up before a lot of other things. If GK dilly-dallies on it, I might have to as well.

I can't imagine with GK general price point, it would be super high priced. Although I could be wrong! Let's hope not.

Nice!! I wish the Ampeg SCRDi had a tuner!

Agreed, that's what I said in the GK thread. Their pricing is very reasonable so I cant see how they would change that model.

I'm very interested in this though affording it is another story.

can't wait

Im guessing that each knob has a switch function to toggle between the two modes, and the comp/tuner footswitch is for the display. This thing looks awesome to me, I can't imagine it going for under $300.

Wondering out loud...
It probably doesn't, but if it DID send a strong enough signal out, like the "Chain Out" feature of the MB series heads and combos, (were those +10dB?) then this could drive any of the MBP powered cabs to.
Probably pointless, just a thought exercise

PLEX has a balanced output designed to drive our MBP cabinets

Lookie there.
Sitting on an MBP powered cab at NAMM. Doesn't mean it's going INTO it though.

It is powering the MBP. The PLEX has a balanced output designed to drive our MBP powered cabinets.

Hi! Any comments on pricing? Availability? I think you guys just got yourselves a total winner!

Am I reading this wrong?
You plug the PLEX into a MBP, run your bass into the PLEX and you can play thru that? Sounds like it'd be real good for practicing when I didn't want to run the MB212 but just the MBP115.

IF this is what you mean, then I know you've sold one for sure.

Sub'ed.

That is exactly what I am saying.

So that means we can be super modular with one to three MBP cabs. Nice. Can't wait til they hit the street. Thanks RAG for continuing to push the development envelope.

 

[David Jayne]

Bob, thanks for jumping in. How would a guy like me use it? I'm just a live bass-amp-cab guy. I run into the house with di. Loving my MB500, what could this device do for me?

 

[fjadams]

RAG

Thanks. I will be having one of them.

 

[RBASS930]

Apparently it will be under $300

 

[Somnambulance]

Super interested in this. Maybe if the comp is more of a limiet I could move away from my polytune and Keeley Bassist!

Nice! I'm liking the idea behind this. So if your still running a DI signal to house and using the Pre and an MBP, I assume you take the thru (form MBP) to house? And one can always take the unbalanced line to an additional DI to feed an MBP to maintain a Pre EQ to House. I have a transformer balanced DI I built, I would take the unbalanced out to the MBP and the XLR to an MBP while using the XLR out on the Plex to FOH.

 

[Somnambulance]

Yeah it would solve a lot of things for me, the headphone out is really cool for me since I just make noise at home.

If this thing has the GK sound, a good DI, a good tuner, a good compressor, and GK build quality, under $300 is quite the bargin.
