Get Stadium Firepower From the GK MB800

Just when you thought bass heads couldn't get any smaller and more powerful - along comes the Gallien-Krueger MB800. GK's really done it this time - packing massive firepower and full pro functionality into an affordable micro-sized, featherweight head. Wielding its massive 800 watts, the MB800 handily deals with stadium gigs - and at 4.9 pounds, no one will believe you don't have a ginormous amp hidden in the wings.

About that pro functionality: GK's fitted this little beast with everything you need. The MB800's controls are illuminated to indicate operating status: input clip, tuning mute, Gain A, Gain B/Level-B, power amp clipping, limiter enable and EQ/Contour settings. Every stage of the MB800's discrete FET driven preamp features the same FET technology used to create the proprietary Boost circuit found in all GK amps. (That's GK's Gate Induced Valve Effect - G.I.V.E. for short.) Driving the MB800's 4-band active EQ, Contour, and Gain with FET devices allows the MB800 to migrate seamlessly from warm and clean, to a full-on growl with major attitude.

So for tonight's gig, give your roadies the night off - you've got this covered. With the GK MB800.

Gallien-Krueger MB800 Bass Head Features at a Glance:

  • Beefy 800 watts gives you stadium firepower from a compact package
  • Discrete FET preamp seamlessly takes you from warm, clean tone to full-on growl
  • 4-band active EQ with variable contour lets you sculpt your signature sound
  • Effects loop gives you sonic versatility
  • Stay in tune effortlessly with the MB800's mutable tuner
  • Go straight into the board (pre or post EQ) from MB800's XLR DI out
  • Defeatable limiter keeps your dynamics in check

It's a BEAST

by Wayne Johnson from Jefferson City MO
November 5, 2012
Music Background: Semi pro muscian, Live Sound Engineer.
After much hand ringing and head rubbing I ordered my MB800 compact bass head. I have been amazed, gidy, and left speehless with my purchase. First let me say that the weight on this unit is stunning,... read more [+] after 40 years of playing bass I have lived long enough to take advantage of technology. At 4.5 pounds, 800 watts it gives me everything I need, very easy to use on a dark stage with the lightup controls, Plus all the tone you need for Rock, Country, Blues. Just a great little workhorse. Can't wait to get the matching 410 cabinets. Do yourself and all the muscles you have strained over the years moving SVT heads. It's a BEAST. close [-]
