Sound Tips
The 2001RB has several unique features which, if used
properly, will obtain that sound that's in the back of your
head.
The Equalizer:
The Equalizer is used to fi ne 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 fi nd
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 fre-
quencies while boosting the highs and lows. The sound,
once again, is unique to GK and unavailable on any other
Bass amp. Lower contour settings are recommended for
midrange clarity at higher playing levels. For 800RB voic-
ing, 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 fi ve string instru-
ment 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 2001RB does just that. When
it is out, the 2001RB is voiced like the 800RB . Push it in
and the 2001RB is voiced for fi ve 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 solu-
tion 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 2001RB 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 trans-
formers. In addition, this output is calibrated for 1.0V (0
dBV) output and can be adjusted to unity gain (instru-
ment 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, -10dB Pad, and Tun-
ing 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 connect-
ing to equipment powered by a different ground system.
