Gallien Krueger MB150E/112

Combo amp transistors, small size and low weight, power 90W, expandable to 140 W with enclosure available as an option.
Very well equipped with useful effects such as:
- Direct outputs, line and headphones
- Limiter, chorus,
- 4-band parametric equalizer
- Circuits boost bass and treble and midrange for a very hard sound.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use.
The sound is very nice when the equalizer settings are all 0db, so you just have to "add" the frequencies that you want to highlight.
Leave the limiter service virtually eliminates snagging minimum volume if you get a lot of strings.
One drawback: the knobs are very small and difficult to read, which makes it difficult to control in real-time scene: it is better to be familiar with the position and effect of each setting before turning knobs!

SOUNDS

Very versatile amp, EQ and built-in effects are very effective
Used on bass and bass makes it very warm sound, if we find the right setting suitable for the cell used.
The reinforcing effect of mediums is very effective if you want a lot of attack on some bass lines.
The return frequency is very accurate, even at high level.

OVERALL OPINION

The running with this amp for over 5 years.
It was very tough and I did not notice any performance degradation.
Its most significant feature is its weight, which makes it easily transportable. The additional speaker is significant on stage arranged at a distance from the amp it increases the depth of the bass.

Value / fair price, despite a high price.

Small in size, big in ingniosit Indeed, this amp rput now offers CHARACTERISTICS intrressantes such as size and weight (15 KLG)
blind of connectors it has everything it takes to sduire Stereo DI, line out, phone jack, effects loop, speaker output ...
dowry of 70 watts of power, it is suitable for home and personal use.
A speaker coupled suplmentaire and we get 150 watts for RPTES see concert.
He benefitted more, limiters, a chorus, a pad, semi parametric prcis of passbas and boost treble and bass ... enough to do anything ...
The only snag is the use of rglage its complexity is increased.
Another small ESG rpartition the weight (the Tagus amp is heavy for the car) which causes a lack of stability (in the car trunk during transit) or for high vibration power.

UTILIZATION

In use, the sound is quite cold and prcis rglages with the center. These are indeed quite ffective and 9-band equalizer paramtrique served would nothing. All the options are a luxury that helps the musician ambroullier do they have vritables intrrets. However, it gives a margin of possibility and versatility for applications SPECIFICATIONS.
The use of connectors by against, on the contrary, trs many pens does it and the quality of recent use (sound, but also touch on the practicality, solids)
The sound must be working for pleasure, but the versatility of the amp allows APRS some time to find all types of sound. The power is to go despite its small size.

SOUNDS

The sound at first is plutt is modern and quite cold, but the legalization offsets that.
the legalization semi paramtrique is enjoyable and it simplifies rglages brings color to the sound.
Only, this amp lacks his little chest with 10 or 12 inch (avrifier) ​​for a 5 string prvoir supplmentaire pregnant.
The audio sounds lgrement mdium because of its small size which can also have its charm.
The range of possibilities is by trs against large and fits all styles. What seems normal in this price range ...
I prfre on this stuff, is the precision of sound and rapid rponse small membrane notament for slapper.
What makes default is the round limit saturated and use that does not sound natural. (One can not saturate the Ampeg bte as example)

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for over a year and has replaced my old ampeg B3 Manir good.
This amp is a compromise: instead of using an amp at all, it will excel in some areas and lose in others. But this compromise makes sense me.
I had the opportunity to compare a lot of amp before this one and I think the ide of size, versatility volutivit its super beneficial.
I also think there are better but its Contents brands, too, see prstigieuses again.
The report qualitprix is ​​good enough despite its price lev there is little or no competition for this type of concept. ex: SWR, EBS (price ranges are the same see leves)
I would recommend this choice for bassists who are tired of lugging the big stuff even when not ncssaire for studioistes, personal use, teachers ...
