GK2001RB

John Webb · #1 08-28-2011, 10:41 AM

2 Channel 1080W bridged. Going back to my 800RB. This is more amp than I need right now.
Footswitch, handles, rack mounts and 4u case included.
$600 + shipping.
Thanks,
johnnywebb

Wow, that is a killer deal on a monster head! I've put my 2001RB up against a number of "big bad bass heads" of similar size and rated power, and I have to say, it leaves most of them in its dust. This is a seriously loud, seriously good head at a seriously great price!

Thanks Tombowlus
It's a great amp, specially if you have a roadie!!

Hi, any chance that you would ship to me in beautiful Canada ???

John - this amp's output config cornfuses me - I'm not a bi-amper - will it output a mono (bridged?) 2-ohm signal?

John Webb · #6 09-04-2011, 01:08 PM

I don't use it Bi-amped. I just use 540W from the clean channel. I use it at 2 Ohms (2-4 Ohm boxes) no problem. I have never used it bridged to 1080W (have no need to kill anyone).

Check with GK and others on this board about bridged 2 Ohm operation. You can download the manual at the GK website.

Had the pleasure of playing one of these for a short tour. No your guitarist will not bend happy! Yes you can hear to tune while your drummer noodles! Kick ass amp!

thanks

stingray4life12 · #11 09-07-2011, 07:15 PM

also, what condition cosmetically is it in and does everything work? does it come with the gk biamp speakon cable?

thanks

John Webb · #12 09-08-2011, 05:09 AM

No GK Speakon cable..I don;t use it biamped.
Cosmetically good.........a few scratches on the face plate.
I will check shipping to CHI.
Please send me your ZIP.

thanks for the reply but i actually think i might go with a 700 rbii because the 2001 is way more than i need.

thanks anyway!

Any interest in a like new 1001RBII? I'm in Charleston and could meet you face to face.

Is it 2 Ohm Stable?

Here's my concern. I have a 4 Ohm DRB 2460 and a 8 Ohm 1260. I can run both cabs at 540W watts with the 2100RB. I can run both cabs at 300 and 100 Watts respectively with the 800RB...sounds great. But I would have to run the 1260 @ 50W with the 1001RB...I don't know if 50W is adequate to powere it? The 1260 is a slant that I put on top of the 2460 and really acts as a food stage monitor for me...........that's why I wanted to run the both together at 2 Ohms.
The BX 1500 will do that and is a light weight to boot.

Any comments on similar situations ok.

Probably for a few minutes. :-/

Well, if there is anything bass related or otherwise that you would be willing to trade for, let me know.
