0175westwood29 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Got one of these incoming, and am pretty stoked. basically wanted something that I could run both my 215 cabs if I want to, but can also simply run one side. also I’m a big chancellor fan looking forward to plugging it into my board 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAS Bass Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 GK RB amps are the real deal! I used a 700RB II for a long time 2 x 215 cabs will be awesome mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted February 11, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbowskill Posted February 13, 2022 Share 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 of punch to the other GK's on lower settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. All the extra bass on stage gets into the drum mics. More mud. Everyone turns up to hear themselves, yet more mud out front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I was joking, the only time I’d actually use two big cabs would be in a project I have that’s just me and a drummer, having a 300w 215 set up isn’t that excessive really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted February 16, 2022 Share 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.

Delberthot Posted February 16, 2022 Share 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. Not really the sort of thing that you need for a typical wedding gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted February 16, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I’m 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 sounds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 16, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
