Likely 1001 / 2001 owners that don’t even know the difference.

I believe there are 20 or so out there in the wild that Bob built prior to NAMM.

Wow, there are 60 5 star reviews! Yeah, I'm with "team BS" then...
Given that May has come and (mostly) gone - hopefully GK will have an update soon.
IMO/IME The dates mentioned on Sweetwater,etc are erroneous/suspect at best.
Disappointing for several reasons, of which we won't go into here....
I've had one on order since May, but won't be charged until it ships.
Hopefully I'm locked in on price.
Relative to another recent thread...
AI gave me instructions for circuitry mods. Are they accurate?AI Overview
The Gallien-Krueger 1001RB Legacy bass amplifier is not delayed; it has been released and is available for purchase.
The "Legacy" series, including the 1001RB, represents a return of the popular RB series with updated features and design.
The 1001RB just got dropped to $1,223.95 by Sweetwater. Are folks getting price adjusted to these shifts after the fact or are they one time deals?
I’ve been on the fence and close to preordering.

Can someone shed some light on how to interpret the power ratings of the 1001RB? 400w @ 4ohms just doesn't seem like... much.
I believe it has to do with the fact that it also handles a 2 ohm load and provides 600 watts. Think of it like a 700rbii that can do 2 ohm and has a burst rating of 700 watts at 4 ohms and 1000 watts burst at 2 ohm.
400 watts @ 4 ohms with a good 4 ohm-rated 2x12 or 4x10 cab is probably as much volume as most people can use. Add more cabs as needed.
Is there any news? Has anyone received their piece or is everyone interested in the new - much lighter Mesa 800D?
I'm watching *this* thread because I'm interested in the GK product.
If I wanted to talk about a different brand I could find threads that cover it.

Gk is kind of dropping the ball here. It’s almost 5 months late.
Sweetwater is saying December now. Anyone know what is causing the delay? I can imagine the tariffs and subsequent uncertainty have contributed to the issue.
