USE

No need for manual configuration seems simple to me ... there are a few more knobs than the simplest heads but when adj test a few amps, no problems (a rest a bass amp what ...).

SONORITS

I plug a musicman sterling and my bass in it, I play a lot of different styles (song, afro, jazz, reggae, hiphop) and I am fully satisfied! 2 hp 10 inch dveloppent enough for all types of situations! And tweeter does his job (important for super bass and slap). Rglage level, well it's simple: I leave the qual dish with musicman! has made great (I play on bi-amping: volume hp and tweeter are indpendants). For bass, I cut the bass and I go back treble, nickel.



NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 6 months. I'm really pleased his level. Beautiful grain, hot (for the amplifier transistors; Pramp the lamp should do his job!). Tilt therefore very practical on many scenes where you Avoid and run after a flyghtcase surlever to your amp ...
I test a lot of stuff and I do not understand the craze for Markbass lol! Except for maybe the weight: GK, he weighs his weight, despite small dimensions. It is equipped with wheels but are fragile (breaks after a month, I will replace them one day when I will think lol).

Small problem: I had some problems with a certain amount of vibration ... rgle case by tightening all the mess (I hopes to dfinitivement!).

Of course, there are better level but you have to put 3 times more expensive, and have roadies in her closet lol!

Found 700 euros (nine) on the Net, great value qualitprix, even 1000 euros (aprsdmontage of the head, it's really super cam; hp but are peaufinables I quibble!). It lacks more than a Bonus compressor and would top!

For characteristics see the head 700RB2 (the same) and the baffle RBX210. Basically, it is the same combo that 1001RB2 / 210 but with the head 700RB2. adlivre 320W, with a monte 480 SECOND baffle.

Combo Tilt, handy for not chasing after a flight case for surlev. Wheels (some fragile) poignertractable (he carries as a large suitcase on flat, otherwise it is heavier lol!).

Connection complte (bi-amplification, with volume and DI rglage prpost equal, effects loop, etc).



USE

Simple configuration but somewhat diffrente the majority of amps, you get used in 30 seconds ... no need to manual.
I love the sound so GK yes, I easily found a good sound: musicman rings with flat rglages! For bass (instrument for which this amp served me mostly), I cut some bass and low-mid, I go a little tweeter to hear the cot "fingers rub" and is nickel.
Missing more than a small compressor, for I was a little down my notes!

SONORITS

I play the song, hip hop, jazz, funk, reggae ... a happening everywhere! I love the warmth of the sound of this amp (which is obviously not at all lamps 3 times more expensive but prampli the lamp and the great quality of the electronics do their job!). The highs are not aggressive but are prsents (useful for slap bass ...), the bass is despite the config 2 * 10 (I have not tried to him a branch 15 inches but more needs to send!)

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 9 months, I tried a few things ... there's no DIFFERENT photos: GK sounds (much better than MarkBass I find, for it is against heavier!).

The particular feature I like least is its weight (small but heavy, 36kg), what I like most is the sound that comes out!

Very good report qualitprix (1000 euros in stores, a little less on the Net), see in the hard but normally the Made in USA ... a must.

Choice I would do if I was not playing more bass than low dsormais. So I put on sale to find something more suited (a bass with the fact but we always want better is not it?).

For the characteristics, if rfrer to review the 1001RB2: this is the same but with a 700RB2 head (320W / 8ohm, 480w / 4ohms: ample power o has either!).

USE

Configuration, despite some knobs more than the simplest amps parat me quite clear and effective ... no need to manual.

It is easy to get the sound! For my part: all flat rglages with musicman, adpote! I put a little "contour" to supplement the sound (actually dig mdiums) in some cases and that's it. With the bass, I cut some serious, I back the amp tweeter (yes: it is "bi-amplified"), and has not hurt too.

SONORITS

It is suitable for music that I play, but I sell it for more bass amplification axis.

You can really go through all the styles but it's an amp's warm and dpote foremost; I compar of markbass (it to me so Vant): ben a "soft shit" the Italian brand ... and it's cold ... so that there's " growl! " I find typ between EBS and Ampeg (there worst as references lol!), This is a personal opinion ...

I play an old musicman Sterling US, an Ibanez sr 6 strings, bass ... has done with everything I find (but a bit too colorful for my characters bass needs).

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for a year bientt, I tried a lot of stuff before and others since ... I remain a fervent admirer of the Gallien-Krueger lol!
I love the sound and also his reclining cot (super convenient feedback on a scene!). on the other hand it is heavy (it's not markbass lol!).
Very good value qualitprix.
With the experience I would do this choice if bass n'tait not taking more importance to me than the lower, pushing me orient myself on something more ... but spcialis I love the sound of this combo!
