The 2001RB Amplifier Head is Gallien-Krueger's big gun with 2 - 500W woofer amps bridgeable to 1000W and 2 - 50W horn amps. It is capable of getting the deep, floor-shaking, warm sound that powers reggae bands. For rock players it features a special design distortion circuit that lets you quickly dial in the perfect growl and drive, and which automatically mutes the horns when the high-gain channel is activated. For funk players, its voicing filters and biamp controls let you scoop the mids and add the perfect high-end edge needed for popping. For any style of music performed on arena stages, the 2001RB is the amp of choice for top professionals.

I used this sweet baby at a guitar shop and it was amazing. They had this thing hooked up to 2 8x10 gk neo cabs. However Duff Mckagan uses only one of these for concerts and he uses 4 8x10 neo cabs. And his sound kicks but

This thing will melt your kidneys!

First off, I am a professional musician who has played huge shows with thousands of people in attendance. I know how important having great tone is. This thing can easily fill a stadium with it's underrated 1000 watts. The tone and versitility of this amp are unmatched by any other brand. G-K stands behind their products, too.

When my contract it done with a certain other major amp brand, I'll be using this, along with 4 G-K 4x10 cabs as my main stage rig.

Metal Must

I have been wanting this amp since I read the description and reviews 4 months ago. I was directed to this product after reading an interview with Justin Chancellor (Tool) and he uses it with Mesa cabs. I plan on buying it and putting it through SWR cabs (I like the 18" cab sound)

I played a used one to get a good idea of the amp before unloading a lot of clams on a new one...and it's all I've been dreaming of since. I was half tempted to buy the used one just because I didn't want to not play the amp. If you have the money to invest in a damn near perfect sound...buy this amp!

Nice Amp

This is a nice amp. Its good quality and its sound is great too. I play rock music and somtimes the distortion circuit comes in handy. It definitely has enough balls to handle any gig is not to heavy. Nice amp buy it if you need it and you have the money. Another famous player who uses this is Duff, he's the bass player for Velvet Revolver, Guns n Roses, and a guitar player for Alice in Chains.
