GK Neo 212 - who knew?

[BaileyMan]

Never really looked at GK gear, not back in the 90s, not now, but there's a neo 212 at my shared rehearsal studio, and man, I'm loving that cabinet with my Mesa D800+ head! It handles the volume and power well. It's punchy and articulate with some nice full lows. The price is right on them too, not spendy like the boutique cabs.

It's high on my list of cabs to add to my arsenal.

If you like punchy, then yes, it's a good cab. Some say it's too mid-heavy though.
I played 2x 112 GK Neos for quite some time, and it's amazing how well they
cut through in rock-/heavy-rock type bands. Great cabs!

They have been a TB fave for years.

 

[Downunderwonder]

They are loud enough until they aren't. Mind you don't blow it up.

 

[bigtone23]

Oh, I knew!
I plugged into the 2x12 and 4x10 and landed on the 2x12". It's a killer cab.

After all the love I've seen for this cab, I think I'm gonna just bite the bullet and order one with the intention of eventually adding another. The main reason that I've ignored the GK Neo cabs is that I don't like the silver grills. I'll just get them painted black (or red if I feel silly).

I like silver...

 

[mmbongo]

Great cabs! I used them for a long time before I got my Mesa Subway cabs.

I don't have any experience with the 212, but I own a GK NEO412 and it has been a TROOPER, I have thrown everything I have at that cab, and all it did was smile.

Gig after gig, rehearsal after rehearsal, it's the best cab I've owned, period.

Got 2 112’s. Great cabs. If a 212 is not loud enough, your band is too loud. You’d have to double up or buy a frikkin PA. This on stage volume thing is way out of hand. Get a grip.

You may very well be right!

I agree if you like punchy....that has become my sound as I am a GK guy now, with head and cabs....played through an Ampeg last night and my lows were awesome, but I missed the mid PUNCH in the face that is my sound. I agree, you have to like the punch, but the punch is me....lol

If you like the Neo 212, you’ll like two even more.

 

[Paulabass]

2x Neo112 here. Love them, and can carry one in each hand.

 

[bass40hz]

Wish they made a 4 ohm version.

the 412 is 4ohm and if you are a 410 guy, you can get he NEO 410 in 4 ohm...but it aint a 212 ;-)

^^^ +1 My outdoor rig is 2 x 212 Neo. Indoors is either a single 212 or 2 x 115 Neo. Loud and clear, and easy on the back.
