Ease of Use
:
8
This thing is way easy to use. Not a lot of fluff here. The best easy thing is carrying it. It only weighs 28lbs. There's multiple mic inputs that run of channel 1 as well as an instrument input. You can use 'em all at the same time so it's hard to screw up your input/output.

3-band eq on channel 1 (which takes 2 mic's -xlr and 1/4" TRS plus 1 instruement), and 2 band eq on channel 2 (which has two 1/4" instrument inputs). 100 watts is easily loud enough for stage monitor for my classic rock band gigs. It also has a balanced out (XLR) to run to the PA. The bummer is that the out level changes with the volume of each channel. So if you increase your monitor volume (cause the lead guitar's stack is getting louder and louder), the sound man has to deal with the boost.
No onboard effects, or even effects loop i/o.

This thing sounds wonderful, iIs very loud and clean and two KM12's could be used as a PA (after dealing with the i/o issues). And did I say this was light weight? Lugging my old keyboard amp (all 80 lbs of it), was enough to eat into my creativity and enthousiasm before the show. The KM12 is light and small, with a big sound.

I bought it used, and it survived a pretty mediocre packing job.

Overall Rating

Overall this thing is very nice, the size and the sound quality are top notch. I'll have to live with this awhile to see if I can live with the output level changing with tweeks to the speaker volume.
I hope this review helps someone. I couldn't find a review of the KM12 anywhere, but I bought it 'cause it was small, and it was a MoSo. I may not have bought it know the bit about the output, but I'll see if I can live with it (or if the soundman can!)
I found 1 review for a MoSo KM80 which is pretty much the same thing with a tube option on one channel.
