Hi Michael, I'm no expert in GK sound but this one only has a GAIN control with no master volume so no real way to overdrive. It has a very distinct sound tho but its pretty clean and sharp in comparison to my Genz. I know Karlfer on here uses a MB500 and he swears by it. Might be better putting the question on the general page and get more feedback from the forum. I've only ever used this one at home as a bi-amp with my genz. It gives me the clean sharp edge with GK and the warm tube sound with the genz. Dave

Great little amp. Not much bigger than a CD. Very sharp clean sound. Good luck with the Ampeg sale Dave

SOLD pending usual.

Price reduction £150 incl postage to UK type of bump. Dave

I used to set mine up with the GB into my Neo cabs and a Warwick amp into my ceramic cab and that gave me the perfect overall range of tones but a little on the heavy side for me tho. Worth experimenting if you can. My GB into my ceramic Berg cab gave me a typical classic rock sound similar to Rainbow Rising sound which was exactly what I was looking for. The Neo cabs I found were a bit more modern and suited jazz style better. Little less bottom end thud and more a lo-mid punch if that helps. Few GK Neo cabs for sale on here worth a look. Dave

Good to hear Garry. they are impressive amps and i'm still in 2 minds as to whether or not I should just keep it as a back up. All the very best with it. I tended to run mine almost flat with mid boosted on mid select frequency up to 2 o'clock. Seemed to give me that mid sound that cut the mix. I have found that different cabs make a huge difference too. My ceramic Berg cab has a more rounded low end whereas my Neo Berg cabs have a much more defined mid sound. Dave

No probs Martthebass. If things change let me know. Good to see you are keeping busy. Dave

No interest ? One just sold last night on ebay for £175 + postage ?? Great back up amp. Fits in the pocket of my Genz Benz streamliner gig bag its that small and lightweight. Nice clean sharp tone with contour switch. Dave

No interest ? great little amp with warm tube pre-amp and lots of power. Read the reviews on BC to see what you are missing. Dave

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1379231348' post='2209965'] Tempted even if I really don't need it! :-) [/quote] Great little amp but I have serious GAS for a GK 2001RB and for some odd reason my wife wants me to cut down on my gear levels. Huh some people - she has loads of ornaments in the house - I don't ask her to get rid of something when she buys a new ornament. LOL Dave

Come on Garry. Time to wake up mate. You should know me by now. We spoke about Parcelforce last week and discussed Hartke Kilo delivery at same time you were waiting on delivery of your GB. Just to refresh your ageing memory I use mine with 2 types of Bergantino cabs depending on gig or style of music. I have a ceramic Bergantino HT322 cab (4ohm) with 1x12, 2x10's & horn and is a bit of a heavyweight with a deep rich bottom end sound to it and more a traditional sound or I have 2off Berg Neo AE112 cabs (8ohm each) with horns which are very lightweight and have a more mid to hi end clarity with a very clear range. Both sound great with the GB 600 but produce very different sounds. Had a listen to your soundcloud tracks and 2 quite different sounding songs. In my opinion the Neo lightweight cabs wont have the bottom end feel you'll need for your sound and might be better looking at traditional ceramic type cabs like your imaginary 8x10 cabs altho they are extremely heavy to cart around and might be better with 2off 4x10's. I did try an Ampeg 4x10HLF in a studio last year and was very impressed by the roundness of its tone. Very full bodied yet clear. I was using it with a Warwick amp at the time so not sure what the GB sounded like thru it. Some great cabs out there. The HT322 I bought from Karlfer on BC couple yrs ago. The AE112 cabs from Mark at Bass Direct. One new the other almost new. Good deal from both Karlfer and Mark. Hope you are getting along well with your GB now that you've had week or so to experiment. All the best Dave
