GK 800rb knob settings?

[abcdefranklin]

Just wondering what most people are using out there. What do you have your voice set to Low boost, Mid boost, or High boost? Treble, high-mid, low-mid, bass, frequency and boost also? I just want to hear how some other people play this beast :P

Sorry but I had to. Search 800RB in this forum and you'll find all the info you need and then some. Good luck.

I don't have the 800rb... but i have an early 80s 400rb. The knobs/boosts are set up almost the same (minus 2) as the 800rb though... just at a lower wattage (though i still run it through an 8x10 so volume ain't an issue) and still has 'that GK sound'.


I don't mess with any of the boost buttons, really. I need to try them out more though... at home i do mess with the mid-scoop one...

Anyways, i use it for 2 projects:

Power-pop band (w/ passive Peavey T20 or passive SX P/J):
Vol - to taste
Treb - noon
Hi-Mid - 3
Low-Mid - 2
Low - 1
Boost - 9ish
Master - 2ish

Heavy band (w/ active ATK300):
Vol - to taste
Treb - 2
Hi-Mid - 3
Low-Mid - 3
Low - 3
Boost - 12
Master - 3



I like mids

Are you sure you have an 800RB? Mine doesn't have either a Low boost or Mid boost.

depends on the cab used, but usually I always use the boost at full

SORRY its Mid Contour low cut and high boost

[danomite64]

That's an 800 then. I run mine with the Contour in (out with the fretless), the tone knobs set at 12 O'clock (which I believe is flat, thought I don't really know). Volume is at 9 O'clock, Boost at 12 O'clock, I use the Bi-amp mode, Crossover set at 11 O'clock, and the Maser Volumes to where I can hear myself.

When I had mine:

volume- noon
no contour buttons used
eq- flat to start, then adjusted to taste
boost- noonish
master also adjusted to taste

I always ran mine full range.

pre: noon
contour in
treble boost on
lo cut off
treble:2 oclock
hi mid:2 oclock
lo mid:2 oclock
bass: noon
boost max
bi amp in, turned all the way to the right, 1.0 khz I think..
master to however loud you wanna get.
I run it into an ampeg 8-10. Bass is a ric 4003 w/flats and I play pickstyle. Happy tweakin'.
