Gallien-Krueger MB500 - Sold £320

[Graham]

If it wasn't for the fact that our singer has upgraded his monitors, so it's now feasable to just DI with a pre-amp, then I'd keep this little cracker, but you know - GAS

It weighs virtually nothing, it's got buckets of power, has a 4 band EQ; a built in, footswitchable overdrive circuit and all the inputs and outputs you could want.

The sound is much warmer than I was expecting from a GK head, it can certainly do the clear, driven sound GK are famous for, but is much more versatile than I thought it would be - the 4 band EQ, enhance and drive circuits see to that.

Did I mention it was light? It's like, silly light; I've had a Genz Streamliner before and it'a much lighter than that. Also it can even fit in the pocket of a gig bag if you're really pushed for space. I got a quote for shipping it to Ireland and the Post Office scales had the entire thing (amp, footswitch, cables, packaging) at less than 3kg.

I put a Tim Commorford inspired warning label on the footswitch; I think it's cool so I've left it on, but I can remove it should you feel differently.

The price includes UK mainland shipping and I have the original box to send it in. The only trade I'd be interested in would be for an EBS Microbass II with cash my way.

Interesting... I have one of these but mine doesnt have the switch that yours does on top. What does that do?

According to the manual, it's a...

Hope this helps.

As Dad says, it's a limiter; I've always left it switched on.
