I’ve got an RB-210 also and absolutely love it. Right now it’s just for basement play. When the day comes that I need to add on for rehearsal, I’ve been debating going with a 2X12 cab, so I’ll be interested to hear your opinion on how the 4X10 does. Beauty of a cab.

Including my all-time favorite “Replace cyan toner cartridge” off of the album “Printing in Black”.

Already taken out the RB210 itself to rehearsal twice, plenty loud and beautiful sound. Next time I’ll definitely test it 4Ohm 4x10 :heart:
Will report back.

TBH quick functional test (Elf into the Harthe so no big firework) showed surprisingly rich sound, but can’t really crank it up here at home… Not even the ~100W (Elf @8Ohm) :roll_eyes: Don’t even dream about 500W (RB210 @4Ohm) to 4x10 :roll_eyes:

Thought that was an XMAS present? My wife is wrapping my GX-10 right now.

It was an Xmas present … from me … to me. When there is no one but the cats here… ‘when’ Xmas happens… not as important. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ah, that’s been the case for us the past few years but one of my girls is coming to town on Sunday and my parents will be here for Christmas to see her. So we’ve got a busy one this year. My parents got us a blackstone, so I’m going to do stuffed french toast, eggs, bacon, and hash browns on it Christmas morning for brunch.

What I like with the GT1-B … it is small… and has power options… I have it running on DC at the moment… but I can slap 4 AA batts in and take it out to a quiet place… and make it not so quiet… ( I have a batt powered JBL PartyBox too that I use with my bass :stuck_out_tongue: )

My whole set up is mobile now :stuck_out_tongue:

The first time I used my GT 1b there’s no sound I must have turned every knobs and touch every buttons until accidentally press the pedal the the volume came up :joy:.

It’d have helped if I read the manual.
