MB110 Combo

The MB110 is one of the more compact amps in Gallien-Krueger’s MB Series, but trust us — its a portable powerhouse! With a 100-watt power amp and ceramic 10″ speaker, the MB110 can still pack a hefty punch for practice sessions and even small, intimate gigs.

Key Features

• 4-Band Active EQ — Derives from GK’s legendary 800RB amp. Provides extensive tone-shaping potential so that you can find the sonic sweet-spot, especially with the ‘Hi Mid’ and ‘Lo Mid’ knobs.
• Contour Control — Completely re-voices the amplifier by tuning between two different shaping circuits, with greatly different responses. When the the control is engaged, the low-end is slightly boosted, the mids are scooped, and the high-end is pushed up; great for slap!
• Variable Q — Another feature inherited from the 800RB. This unique design varies the EQ bandwidth to retain a musical response even at extreme settings. In other words, it’s hard to make the MB110 sound bad!
• USA-Designed Speaker — The special ceramic driver with 2″ edge wound aluminium voice coil, designed just for this cabinet, is manufactured in the GK USA factory.
• Lightweight Design — Aluminium chassis, switch mode power supply and power amp deliver 100W performance in a rugged 21lb (9.5kg) package.
• Contemporary Connectivity — Balanced DI with pre/post switch, aux in and headphone output for silent practice, plus “chain out” to drive GK’s MBP powered enclosures.
• Switch Mode Power — Extremely lightweight switch mode power supply and power amp deliver 100W into the speaker with very little wasted heat dissipation.
• Critically Damped — The amp’s port is specifically tuned for optimum performance, coupled with a particular jute blend of damping material that provides the right amount of damping at certain frequencies.
• Protection Circuitry — Internal circuitry is always on the alert to problems, indicated at the power switch ring.
