Gallien Krueger · amplifier
The Gallien-Krueger MB115 MK2 is a bass combo amplifier with a single 15-inch speaker, part of GK's long-running MB series that pioneered lightweight, high-power bass amplifier design. The MK2 revision reflects Gallien-Krueger's continued refinement of the platform, pairing the punchy, articulate tone the brand is known for with a larger 15-inch driver for fuller low-end extension.
