Loud amp MB 800 or RB 1001

Recommended Posts

As my Hartke Kilo died again during yesterday's gig I'm looking to find a warrant replacement unit that will keep working.
This will be a warranty job through GAK,the kilo cost me £629 so I'm looking at amps of a similar price.
My initial thought was the RB 1001
Tom on here recommended the MB 800
Any thoughts or suggestions,bearing it must come from Gak.

I play pretty loud rockabilly & run into a Barefaced Big Baby 2 @8ohm

* I used to have a GB Shuttle 600 that just didn't have enough power for what I need.
Cheers

I use an RB1001 - no complaints here. I've not played through an MB800 so cant offer a comparison, but they both get good comments. Depends if you want to use the Bi-amping feature of the RB series, I guess, or prefer the lighter weight of the MB

Hi thanks for replying.
I'm not bothered about the bi-amping tbh I just want reliable power + it would be way lighter than my Kilo.
I found the shuttle to be pretty weak so that put me off class D but I'm open to suggestions.
RB 1001 is what i favour atm.

Neil. I have a GK MB Fusion. Not looking to sell but if you want to try it to see about GK cabs you're welcome to borrow it for a practice. Martin.
