Honestly that is my intention. I was just running my fusion through only one of my GK 410 cabs and the punch I was getting was awesome. And the tone shaping just goes on forever. Much more option wise than the Darkglass.

I'd keep the Darkglass and add a GK Head I think they sound awesome together!

I love using Darkglass gear with the GK...Just a bit of overdrive
If that's what works for you, awesome. I've found that for me, in my band setting, the Darkglass works for me. I'm not looking to "find my sound" again. I've already done that. Now I simply want to amplify that sound to keep up with the rest of my band.
The Bass centre in Melbourne changed over my nqr 700rb2 for a new one, now hopefully for some hassle free gigging
Hope it works out for you. I just ordered a new 700RBii. I was all GK at one point but had issues with 3 different amps at once (GK did take care of everything under warranty) so steered away from GK for awhile. The 700 is the amp for me. Can't find anything else that gets me that sound. So hoping for the best. Had to come back. This is probably my fourth 700. Yep, fourth.
Anyone find a graceful case solution for the RB series? Not planning to rack mount unless I have to. Was not impressed with the build quality of the GK bags I've used in the past. Thinking a mixer bag with foam is probably the way to go.
Is size the issue with a rack? I've found that some of the newer shallow molded racks, like those from SKB that I use, fit those RBs like a glove, and don't add much in terms of bulk and weight. Just curious.
You could get by with 2u, but there's nothing that can be done about the overhang. Those Revsound 210s are really skinny, even skinnier than my old Neo 112-iis. Still, at least for me, form follows function (at least back when I was using those cabs, I no longer do).
Had this image still fresh from posting in another thread... POWER T!

Nice power T! Those Neo 12's are nice cabs.
GK recommends a 3u rack so there is room for the fan top vent. I'll probably go rackless. Looks like Gator has a few cases that will work with modification.
And here it is, my first piece of GK. Can't wait to try it out at next rehearsel.
So, are numbers still a thing?
I say this more as a PSA than anything else, but that's in the manual as an oversimplification assuming you're using a flat wooden rack, or have gear above the amp - I've spoken to GK about it, and given that the amps intake through the top, and exhaust out the front, as long as there's at least 1/2" clearance above the intake, there's no issue. Those molded racks have more than enough room above the top of the amp to provide unobstructed airflow.

That would make sense. Are you sure you don't work for a molded rack manufacturer of some sort?
Oh me too, I've been worrying about it all dayHope it's big enough.

I mean, if they want to sponsor me I'm all for it... but no. It's more like I'm a member of the militant TB Rack-User Advocacy Group.
