• Not too shabby...

  
  As reviewed by Royce Vick on 12/9/2010

  Running the 4 ohm model on a GK Goldline 500. It has excellent tone. Tone is the reason i've stuck with GK for a few years. I have literally owned every major brand, from Peavey, to Ampeg, to Markbass, to Behringer; and have tested out the others (like Acoustic, and SWR) in the shops. For my sound, which needs to be both low and punchy with good sounding mids and highs (since i slap quite a bit), GK pulls through for the price.... This is a replacement cab for my GLX 410 which blew out after about 8 months of solid use. Guitar Center Pro Coverage got me credit which i put toward the two 12's. I went with 212MBE because of the 600W handling, and the 12's give me more of a well rounded tone vs. 10's or 15's. My favorite thing about it is that it only weighs 34 lbs, unlike the 100 lb 4x10 that i had to drag up to my 2nd floor apartment and ended up leaving in my car most of the time. I like the sound of this cab a lot, BUT I had to turn off the switch for the horn. And thank god it had a switch because that horn sucks major a**. Crackled and fizzled and crapped all over the nice tone of the 12's. Also, I couldn't crank it as much as I thought I would be able to. Still pretty loud, but for 600W handling I thought I would be able to turn up more than 1/3 on the gain. Anyway, for the price bucks it sounds pretty nice.

• Lighter weight is big advantage

  
  As reviewed by Neil on 1/13/2011

  I purchased this for a young person who is just taking off on playing. It only weights about 35 pounds vs. the 60 lbs or so for many other brands of comparable sound and power. The difference means this young player can easily take it to friends houses and other places she plays. I did not test it a lot, but based on my tests at the store, it sounded as good or better than the other, much heavier, amps of this same class of specs and price range.

• Not sure it's 600 watts

  
  As reviewed by basser from Orlando on 2/10/2011

  The GK website and the manual that comes with this combo says it is 500 watts. Of course this may have changed. Going from 500 to 600 isn't much of an increase, but if you really need 600 watts you should just check with the GK people before you spend the money.
