Another family photo of mine and Stu's (Pliskin on BC) GT1s. I use mine for guitar, Stu for bass which works very well and gives a nice growly tone. Stus is for sale somewhere as he's downsizing and needs the cash but I can't seem to find the thread.

Has anyone already tried the new GT200?

I also wonder if depth and presence controls are still useful with bass/mid/treble tone stack?

I've tried it and yes they are, personally I've never liked the depth control, I never run it anything but full, the presence works better now with the mids, more how it should if that makes sense.

Overall the mid control is a fantastic edition and turns the GT200 into a do anything amp, personally I still prefer the 2 band because it's a little bit more KISS, in saying that mine is customised so I have an internal tone control so I don't touch any eq when I gig.

I'll be definitely picking up a Bass DI in November with the new 3 band eq in it, its so easy to dial the 2 band sound in and you have all that additional flexibility.

I noticed that earlier too.
Fantastic name!

Great, now I have gas for GT200... again.

I think that half power switch would be an awesome addition for smaller gigs...

[tayste_2000]

There is a volume knob for that

I find the Depth control to be very useful. When I first bought the amp it seemed that only the 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions would be any good. That was until I was playing in a small, very enclosed room that was very very boomy. The only setting that would allow the bass to cut through without it going muddy was the 2 o'clock position! Kudos to Matamp for seeing that one!

The Prescence I don't really use so can't comment, I'm afraid.

Hope this helps

Regards

Pete

Sorry for the rude question but... what does a GT200 cost nowadays?

[jetofuj]

I got the quote from Matamp few days ago and GT200 MkII goes for around 1750 pounds.
