Gallien-Krueger 1001RB - 700+50 Watt Biamped Bass Amplifier

Description

GK's RB Series bass amplifiers have been setting the standard for over two decades. Inside these compact, lightweight "super structures" is the most advanced bass circuitry available. In 1972, Bob Gallien developed what he calls G.I.V.E. Technology (Gate Induced Valve Effect). This 'valve effect' is integrated into the design of all RB Series heads and is part of what gives them their distinct sound. The RB Series heads deliver a warm, punchy tone with a fast transient response that not only sounds better, it feels better. GK's renowned voicing filters and intuitive four band active EQ make it simple to dial in a great sound. Everyday thousands of players around the world in arenas, clubs and basements plug into GK heads because they love that sound.

Excellent value for pro sound. Sound as good as tube with way better response, seriously! Active eq is simple and makes a realistic tonal differances. Gain staging like tube, drive like tube with out the size and weight. Headroom to spare and good all varieties of styles. Have used with acoustic right up to Warwick and never been let down. DI out is also flexible and sounds way better than most engineers expect. The bi-amping workd great but wish the hi was a bit more powerful. Also wish the send/returns were rear mounted and final wish is why no footswitch for tuner mute or boost like oldschool RB? Otherwise I am considering buying a smaller 700 or 400 for smaller rig/practice. Posted by Rick on Jun 12, 2012
