Wow, this thing is so light! It weighs less than most companies 50W amps. It has a nice full sound due to the 15" speaker. The controls are simple, but effective. The push buttons on the Contour, Limiter and Horn On/Off are a great idea. It's not as flexible as a 100RB, but I think they were going for a more simplified "Practice Amp" motif. The AUX in is a great idea as is the headphone jack. I tried a few active and passive basses through it just to see what kind of tones I could get. I was able to get high quality sounds out of each bass I tried. For only 200W it is very loud and blows away other more expensive amps that I won't name that, supposedly, have more power. It actually kind of shocked me A/B'ing a few amps. GK must have a louder watt measurement than brand X, Y and Z. Bravo to GK for using real poplar plywood for the box instead of the cheaper and heavier particleboard. Only one beef, the grill rattled a little bit, but it just needed about half a turn on a screwdriver to fix it. No biggie. If I ever get in the market for a new combo amp, it will be this guy for sure.
I played a lot of amps before buying the MB 115. There?s nothing on the market that compares to this amp for sound. It is unlike any other. I traded in a bahringer 180 watt amp that was total trash. No lows and a lot of distortion in the sound. GK makes the best amp on the market. I can?t say enough about them. If you are looking for clarity, deep lows and a all round quality sound, GK is what you?re looking for.
I walked into Guitar Center with every intention of buying an Acoustic B200 combo, until I played through this one. No comparison. This amp has much better bass, louder and cleaner than the Acoustic, at about 1/3 the weight. Since it cost only $50 more, it was a no-brainer. If it turns out to be reliable, this is the best deal out there for small combo amps.
