Sound Tips

The 1001RB-II/700RB-II Series has several unique

features which, if used properly, will obtain that

sound you have been searching for.

The Equalizer:

The Equalizer is used to fine tune your sound. When

adjusting it, do it just a little at a time. These are active

circuits, and small changes can make a big difference in

your sound. With a little experimentation you will find

that this equalizer is very easy to use, never sounds weird

and provides you with a large variety of great sounds,

unique to GK.

Contour:

Increasing the Contour level will scoop out mid-

range frequencies while boosting the highs and lows.

The sound, once again, is unique to GK and unavail-

able on any other Bass amp. Lower contour settings

are recommended for midrange clarity at higher

playing levels. For 800RB voicing, set the contour

control either on 0 or 10 (Off, On on 800RB).

String Bass:

The way a Bass amp deals with the instrument low

string is a critical part of its sound. In fact, a five

string instrument requires an entirely different low

end response than a four string instrument. No

equalizer can make the necessary adjustments to

accommodate both. However, the String Bass button

on the 1001RB-II/700RB-II Series does just that.

When it is out, the 1001RB-II/700RB-II is voiced like

the 800RB. Push it in and the 1001RB-II/700RB-II is

voiced for five string instruments. For some playing

styles you may want it in, even with a four string

instrument.

Boost/Master:

Turning up the Boost control, will add a little growl to

your tone. This is an unmistakable GK trade mark

sound, that you will grow to appreciate. Raising the

Boost while lowering the Master will add more growl

while keeping the sound level the same. Growl is

actually a small amount of even order harmonic

distortion, that sounds great through a woofer, but

horrible through a horn (see Bi-Amp solution below).

For most playing situations, the Master is set between

12 & 3 o'clock. The cleanest sound is obtained by

setting the Master above 12 o'clock, and going above

3 o'clock for maximum power situations.

Direct Out:

The 1001RB-II/700RB-II provides a low noise, high

quality balanced direct out for connection to PA and

recording consoles. With the Pre/Post EQ switch set to

"Pre" (Out), the direct output signal is fed directly

from our low noise, high headroom, FET input stage

providing a low noise output superior to external

direct boxes and impedance transformers. In addi-

tion, this output is calibrated for 1.0V (0 dBV) output

and can be adjusted to unity gain (instrument level)

by adjusting the Level control to -15 dB (U) . With the

switch in the Pre position, the Direct Output signal is

only effected by the Level, -14dB Pad, and Tuning

Mute controls. This allows you to adjust your tone

and volume on stage without changing the Direct

Output signal level and confusing your sound man.

Changing the Pre/Post EQ switch to "Post" ( In),

sends the "GK sound" and preamp response to the

Direct Out jack. This gives you complete control over

the Direct Out's tone and volume. In addition, a

Ground (Gnd) Lift switch is included to remove hum

and buzz when connecting to equipment powered by

a different ground system.
