Japhet Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'd take a good look at the MB 500 Fusion. 2 channels (foot-switchable) is a big plus It's also tiny, loud and very versatile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairychris Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I run a GK MB800 into a Gen 2 BF Compact. Amp is like the 500, except that it has a preamp circuit built a bit closer to that of the larger heads. Using middling gain and EQing with a slight bump on the low mids it's fairly pristine as opposed to warm, takes pedals well, 2nd channel is quite nice (although I haven't been using it), decent DI and is [b]terrifyingly[/b]* loud. 500w at 8 ohms into a 1x15 that can take that power is quite a weapon, especially as the whole rig can be lifted with one finger. * As someone who's into their metal, sludge, doom, etc I don't say that lightly!

iamtheelvy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hoping to go try both of these out (maybe some others too) side by side this weekend. Out of interest, anyone use the Tonehammer with Markbass cabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opticaleye Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If you're looking for an alternative to the Tonehammer try one of the Markbass TTE heads. Less "features" but excellent tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheelvy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Don't really know yet. Tried the LMIII and quite liked that, but want to give the Aguilar a go too. Already own a nice Markbass 1x15 cab though, so wondered how they worked together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
