Omni12 +GK MB500 good idea?

#1 Post by katu_lp »

Hi!
i have an Omni12 with 2 BP102 (4ohm) and i was looking for a nice bass head...
Will the Mb500 be ok for this cab? Is it too much power? BP102 are ranked at 200w each...

• 500 watts @ 4 ohms, 350 watts @ 8 ohms
• 10dB pad
• Four-band active EQ w/variable contour
• Effects loop and tuner output with mute
• Headphone/line output
• XLR out, pre/post EQ & ground lift switch
• Boost footswitch
• Two speakon outputs
• 10.75x8.5x1.75

No harm in trying it out. You should be able to hear the bp102 getting stressed if you push too hard, turn down and don't do that again.
BAT10, Bad Auto Tuba. Reverse folded TAT to fit JBL 1014D, 350W driver, voltage limit unknown.

I have the MB500 squared. I use it at home (I don't gig) and love it with my single J112. Makes more noise than I'll ever need. Should be a perfect match with an Omni 12x210.

Does it have a volume control?
