Classic Gallien-Krueger Bass Tone!

Standard-setting bass amplifier! For more than two decades, Gallien-Krueger's RB series has been wowing bassists who know tone. And right here, the 1001RB-II is a head honcho of sorts, giving you premium-grade warm and punchy tone at a reasonable price. Despite its compact and lightweight design, which is perfect for gigging (weighs just 22 lbs!), the 1001RB-II is packed with great features, including a handy effects loop and a direct XLR output. In fact, the Gallien-Krueger 1001RB-II even incorporates Bob Gallien's famous G.I.V.E. Technology (Gate Induced Valve Effect) for that classic GK sound. Plus, with Gallien-Krueger's respected voicing filters and a 4-band active EQ, it's easy to get great tone from your 1001RB-II - wherever and whenever you're playing!

Gallien-Krueger 1001RB-II 700W Bass Amplifier Head Features at a Glance:
  • 700 watts (4 ohms) plus 50-watt horn bi-amp system
  • 4-band active EQ
  • Adjustable contour, presence, and 4/5 string voicing
  • Boost (valve effect) - separate tweeter and woofer volume control

GK 1001-RB-II

I just picked this head up to go along with my GK 4x10 Neo I purchased last fall. The combined units brough out a clarity and brightness to my sound that I was lacking.

Expect everything,...but drive

by Evan Wantland from Missouri

Music Background: 15 years of bass playing
I have this head coupled with the 410 Neo cabinet, and there is no lack of power and volume. Using an Ibanez SR600, the tonal possabilities are crazy. Any tone is attainable. Multi-effects sound great... read more [+] through it, but don't expect to get any kind of usable drive or distortion. This has the G.I.V.E. technology, which is the boost knob, however, it acts like a volume before the master instead a growling Gate Induced Valve Effect. No distortion, snort, buzz or fuzz, even using higher input levels. This is to be expected with solid-state amplifiers. A trade of tone for price that can be fixed with an OD pedal. No regrets, just sterilizing power and face melting tone. close [-]
