Bought to replace my old GK MB-115 without even testing it... well I am thrilled!! The 2x10s are impressively precise and clear. The highs/mids are there and the bass is warm and powerful, at 1/3 of the gain! It is light, it looks good, you can add a cab, effects loop... I am delighted with my purchase:D

Powerful and light amp, simple and very effective settings, the sound is there! For me, who is a plug and play fan, it's nothing but happiness. The bass on my back and the amp in my arms (17kg) to go from the car to the stage and I'm ready, no more going back and forth to unload... to try it is to adopt it.
