<div class="bbWrapper">What can anyone tell me about the tone of GK cabs vs say SWR and Ampeg? I live in Chicago but the closest place to me that has any GK cabs in stock is Milwaukee. I don't want to make the drive unless there is a good possibility that they might fit.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Tone is a truly subjective thing.<br />

I'd say that GK has a very agressive tone. Meaning, they tend to be very "rock-like", if that's a term... I had a GK cab for a while. It was a good quality cab. It was just a tad sterile for me. I would definately shop and compare before purchasing if you can.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I just picked up a Neo212 and am going to be doing my first gig with it this week-end, I'll try to let you know how it goes.THe main reason I got it,aside from a few friends raving, is because my main live gig is a Rock-ish band and I need some mids to cut through the Orange and Bassman onslaught <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue :p" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> but so far the cab seems great at lower levels and is nice and light.<br />
all the best.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The SBX cabs are good cabs. More affordable than the RBH cabs, and dont feature the ports. <br />

The GK cabs, I have found to be very versatile. They excel at rock, and other music where cutting through is a must. They are pretty sterile sounding, which I like. If you play a GK head, you can also use the bi-amp feature. I like it because it gives you seperate control of the woofers and the horn.</div>
