I have owned this amp for 3 years, practiced and played shows with it, it's great for whatever you want to use it for ... I matched it with 2 4x10 GK RBX cabs w/ 1" horns, and it sounds amazing at any volume (although I have never even had to turn it up more than half way) it's got some major power!!! I plug a 5 sring Traben Array Premium into it, and that combination has gotten me so many compliments on my gear ... I'm sure whatever you match this up with, will make you as happy as any musician can be. You can not be disappointed with this head. If you have the money, and looking for an amp head, this is a must buy!!! I'd give it a 6 out of 5 if I could...

Transparent Power

An Ampeg SVT3Pro served me kindly for a number of years. However, with the current project even with a 4x10 and 1x15 cab, and the SVT3 maxed out, I was often “pulling the strings harder” in a vain attempt to be heard. I bought the 1001RB based on price, power rating, and the desire to play something different, and it has turned out to be one of the best gear purchases that I've ever made. It sounds great at low practice volume in my apartment. It sounds spectacular with the band. In short, apparently GK knows what they are doing. BUY THIS AMP. Your ears and fingers will thank you.

GK For Life

Reviewer's Background: Lots of stuff

Reviewer's Play Style: Whatever Calls Me

I've abused this amp, dropped it, gotten it drenched in rain to where the red "no power up" light came on, and treated it pretty roughly, and it still keeps kickin out the sound. Great tone, versatility, and most of all, durability. If you're lookin at a cab to go with it go for a GK artist series cab so you can use the bi-amping feature. Great product GK.

Holy moses! I was using a BBE pre-amp with a CS-800 for raw power for years. I have other "head" style amps before that. I can honestly say that this the BEST head that I've ever owned. Incredible head room, clarity, power, and ease use. You can dial in a great sound in seconds, no lie. I'm using mine with a 410 Hartke, and a Peavey 18" sub, full range.......no crossover. BOOM! I can play large rooms with both cabinets or choose one or the other, depending on the size of the room. The only drawback, is that the patch panel is on the front, instead of the rear. It would make for a cleaner rack if it were on the rear of the unit. If this is my only gripe in life...I'm livin' good! BUY this head! I swear you won't be disappointed. I USE my gear and expect it to be powerful, and perform, night after night. No disappointments here. I should have gone with GK years ago. Now I now...and so should you.

What a machine!

This head makes all my basses sound incredible. It allows them to still have their own unique sound but makes them shine! I went out and bought a new bass when I didn't like my tone before, I wish I'd have just played it though this GK beforehand and I would have loved my tone! Its great, what a beast!
