0175westwood29 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Got one of these incoming, and am pretty stoked. Ā basically wanted something that I could run both my 215 cabs if I want to, Ā but can also simply run one side.Ā Ā also Iām a big chancellor fan looking forward to plugging it into my boardĀ Quote
Guest Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 GK RB amps are the real deal! I used a 700RB II for a long time Ā 2 x 215 cabs will be awesome mate Quote
Jonesy Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Oh, that'll be loud! I used to have a 1001rb and really loved that amp. They're so well made and have tone for days. Quote
danbowskill Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Nice! I always wanted the 2001RB. I had the 1001 and new 800 legacy both could go far too loud into my 610 playing in a drop tuned sludge band. 2001 could be overkill.... But i imagine it will have a different/better kind ofĀ punch to the other GK's on lower settings? Quote

Downunderwonder Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 Why be louder than the drummer? Quote

Downunderwonder Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 49 minutes ago, 0175westwood29 said: Why notĀ There must be PA support out front for the drums to get a good mix. Since there is PA support for drums the excess bass must be cut from the PA resulting in muddy mess of FOH and stage wash bass. Ā All the extra bass on stage gets into the drum mics. More mud. Ā Everyone turns up to hear themselves, yet more mud out front. Quote

Ok I was joking, the only time Iād actually use two big cabs would be in a project I have thatās just me and a drummer, having a 300w 215 set up isnāt that excessive reallyĀ Quote
MacDaddy Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I was never impressed with Flea's tone, and I think it was that association with GK which coloured my opinion of them. Until I was at one of the SW Bass Bashes, and I played through @silverfoxnik (?) GK amp and it sounded awesome. The low mid control was especially effective.

0175westwood29 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Posted February 16, 2022 Ā well it sounded pretty bloody goodĀ 1 Quote
Delberthot Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 The best sound I ever had was with a 700RB II and 2 Ashdown ABM MAG410 cabs. Unfortunately the only time that I could use it was with a really loud rock back with 3 guitarists all trying to be louder than each other. Ā Not really the sort of thing that you need for a typical wedding gig Quote
casapete Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Another GK fan here. Started with an 800RB (which I still have), and have had a 700RB II and currently use the 1001RBII. All great amps IMHO, and am sure the big daddy 2001 will be awesome. Enjoy! 1 Quote

Yeh Iām really happy I took the leap in getting the 2001 over the 1001, now to grab a long midi cable and get that drive channel into the board soundsĀ 1 Quote
Owen Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Lots of big cabs give a kind of OOOOOMPH which small clever cabs with super efficient speakers cannot. The most exciting notes I played were through an EV1516 paired with a Warwick 6x10. All sorts of multiple speaker mismatching going on. It was just a solid wall of warmth. Not the volume, just that much air moving. 2 x 2x15 cabs in tandem would be lovely. 1 Quote
0175westwood29 Posted February 22, 2022 Author Posted February 22, 2022 Ā can confirm 2x215 sounds killer 1 Quote
