ML 200-210T Review

This model has been designed to deliver the popular 2x10" and bullet tweeter tone that many bassists prefer but in a compact and affordable package. The ML 200-210T produces a tight, punchy response with plenty of mid definition and clarity. Our "Edge-Lift" handles make this an easy combo to transport.

Features: I've had this amp for about 5 years now. The amp is very versatile. I play rock and metal music. The amp has only one channel but the controls from left to right are as follows: input jack, passive/active EQ switch, preamp volume, shape switches (low boost, mid scoop, signal attack), active EQ control knobs (low, mid, mid freq, and high), master volume, a tuner output jack, and the master power Switch. This amp also has an extension cab output jack on the back and a Switch that allows you to Switch from bridged mode (just using the combo) or use the two outputs when using an extension cab. This combo is pretty loud by itself, but I picked up a 4x10 cab off ebay really cheap and it pushes it just fine with the 300watts. It also has a ground lift Switch on the rear. // 10

Sound: I have a variety of basses..ranging from a Dean ML to a Cort 6-string w/ a Bartolini pickup and they all sound great through this amp. This amp will handle whatever you can throw at it. I mainly play rock music, but I'm sure this amp could be used for just about any music under the sun. // 10

Reliability & Durability: I have never had a problem with this amp and like I said; I've had it for over 5 years now and have played it just about everyday. I've never had to have it serviced or anything. Overall, it's just a great amp and I have no major complaints with it although if I have/had the money at the time, I would have bought an Ampeg head and cab because nothing compares to them. // 10

Impression: I play rock and metal music, and this amp is perfect. I've been playing for 7 years now and I own many basses but only this amp. I have no complaints about this amp, other than the power. 300 watts is a lot for a guitar amp, but most bass amps use a lot more but the times I've used it live (other than just jamming with friends) it's been great. // 10

Features: I've owned this amp for a number of years now, and I can say that it's been well worth the money. I've been in many different bands with this amp, playing punk to hard rock to metal and it will do all of them with no problems. It comes equipped with a single channel, effects loop, and an active EQ section. This amp has always given me the volume I've needed, it also has an extension cab output (and a Switch to go from bridged to mono) so you can add a cabinet to get a fuller sound. The amp also has a tuner output on the front of the amp, which comes in handy quite often. // 9

Sound: I have many basses that I've used with this amp; LTD, Cort, Dean, Ibanez, Rogue, I've owned a few. Like I said above, it fits just about any musical style. This amp rarely distorts, unless the gain is pegged and you start working the master volume up. I usually play with the gain on 6 so I don't have to worry about this. Very versatile amp with the active EQ, if you bypass the active EQ (via the button on the front) the amp is a little louder, but you lose the versatility of the EQ. // 10

Reliability & Durability: I have depended on this amp many times without a backup and it has yet to fail me. After owning it for over 5 years now, I think it's finally about to blow a speaker. It makes a subtle squeaking noise at high volumes. But for what I paid, and all the use I've gotten out of it, I'd say if it died today I would be happy with it overall. // 10

Impression: Perfect for rock, punk, metal; but this amp is very versatile and I see no reason why it wouldn't work for just about anything. I've been playing bass for 10 years and this is the only amp I currently own. If it were lost or stolen, I would definitely consider buying another since I'm so used to it. I compared it to a couple of GK and Ampeg combos that were a little more pricey than this one. It would be nice if this thing had a better handle... or casters. it's fairly heavy, and since it's shaped like a monitor (so you can kick it back and aim it up at your face), it's a little awkward to carry sometimes. // 10
