It's here... This thing is friggin' loud! Amps like this should require a permit. It's a different beast than my TH350. Not as muffled, very "quick"sounding, snappy highs and a whole lot of oomph. Comes across as a boat anchor, weighs as much as one too. :D Only could fire it up for about 15 minutes, no amplified bass playing past 8:00 pm (self-imposed house rule) but it's a keeper.

I have a question and i am hoping you guys can give me some advice. I will be getting a brand new 1001 rb II on Friday. I have some effects i would like to run with it. The signal path i am thinking of using will be this. Spector Euro bass into a line 6 g30 wireless into a korg pitchblack tuner into the input on the amp. From the effects send into a microtubes b3k into a mxr 6 band eq into an f deck high pass filter into the effects return. Does anyone see any issues with this setup, or would you recommend changing the placement on some of the pedals. I will be running into a neo 412. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Remove all but the FDeck from the FX loop. My B3K (and many other pedals) don't like FX loops. Or at least try it both ways and see which you like better!

I will definitely give this a try. I am still kind of a newbie with effects but my thinking with adding the eq to the effects loop was it would give me more versatility with the eq ing of the amp. If i run it directly into the input,wouldn't i just be essentially only eq ing the bass ? Again please forgive my ignorance.

Effects loop is more for rack-type effects than pedal effects. Many pedals will work fine in an effects loop but they are generally better matched to the input impedance.

I don't find any contact information about a engineering team at the GK website.
But I've been in contact with someone at tech support.

I'm just trying to find out what it will cost me to replace all them fancy moving-around-knobs-of-horror.

The only thing I can find online is the whole PCB preamp board.
