HP 12 "GK Paragon
4band + EQ contours (filters)
Connectivity ultra complte (!!!)
...
See the manufacturer's website for technical dtails
UTILIZATION
The configuration is a good amp rglages offering complete ... Less simple than SVT Classic, but not require a specially training either ...
Do you get a good sound easy? Faith, for fun I did the following test when I reu: I took my jazz bass I put all the rglages flat and sounded very dja s good. Same with my Warwick fretless. Finally, I plugged my bass in the same condition and also sounded a lot (too much slamming, piezo sensor requires) ... APRS when you want to sculpt the sound to find the one you are looking for might take some time: 4-band corrections HI, HiMid, Hilo, LO (a formidable efficiency, be it said in passing) + acute filters and low balance.
SOUNDS
With regard to the sound a word: it is a versatile amp with a copy of his grace EQ remarkable. The sound remains GK namoins very modern, extremely well prcis Dfine across the spectrum (a happiness in a serious bass), default trs equilibrated (the test above proves dcris in part). Some will find it sounds cold, it's a remark that holds up when compared with an Ampeg, Trace Elliot or a Fender. It is probably not the amp for RV's roots reggae and blues ... Yet the sound GK maintains a rather special grain that allows it to return or even to magnify, and it is notable particulirement with a bass, the identity and the heat of the intrument used upstream.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this amp for a little less than a year, but I rvais for 7 or 8 years ...
I had then tried in a store and I t won in 15 minutes. I jou on many amps and since no one ever gave me as much effect from the TRS can be upscale in SWR but prices are not the same, and SWR Workingman SERIES, whose prices concurencent MBS, is really not the height.
I see no particular default: connection, sound, transportabilit report quality price.
Go to a potential default when same: the quality production of GK would be relatively erratic and he would arrive some smack after 2 or 3 years. A friend bass player had this problem with the 60 watt The series of economic GK (backline) and you can read testimonials of guys on the internet that have experienced the same dboires with MB. On the other ct there are also those who turn with them for 10 years and have never had any worries. In my case all okay until l.
If c'tait again I will take the head of this amp and an SWR speaker (the speaker GK is excellent but I have a preferences for SWR). When I ordered mine over the head n'tait REFERENCE, it is again for some months. Otherwise, if I were to buy a combo and even though I had twice as much dosh I repeat the same!
Late EDIT:
I take this post a few years to highlight the chapter APRS reliability of this amp. In less than two years: Tage prampli HS, power problem ...
Problem also at a friend's bass player who had the version 2 body.
To avoid like the plague in DPIT superb sound.
