I have never seen the point in doing things the way others have done them. I also have not been very interested in following the latest fad. I am a Stanford educated engineer who worked his way through school as a musician. Like all musicians, I have lugged amplifiers up stairways and into car trunks, always wondering why these things had to be so heavy, bulky, and hard to handle.

For more information on Bi-Amp and Normal Operation, see page 7. Do not connect the Speakon cable labeled “Bridge Mode” to the 1001RB. This may result in damage to the ampli- fier. Set all the voicing filters’ EQ controls and the Boost control to 12 o’clock.

However, the String Bass button on the 1001RB Series does just that. When it is out, the 1001RB is voiced like the 800RB (the world’s classic four string amp). Push it in and the 1001RB is voiced for five string instruments.

The Bi-Amp feature of the 1001RB series is automatically engaged when you connect an RBH series cabinet (with switch on the cabinet set to Bi-Amp) to the 1001RB with the supplied 4 conductor Speakon cable. This setup gives the 1001RB complete control of the tweeter and woofer signals sent to your rig.

When installing the unit in a rack, be sure the mounting hardware can support the amplifier’s weight. To save space in your rack, the 1001RB’s feet can be removed using a Philips head screwdriver. · Make certain that proper space is provided for ventilation.

An electronically balanced output, that you can run to your P.A. system. Selects the direct out signal from before or after the EQ. Controls the level at the direct out jack. A standard ¼” input jack and input attenuator button. The button is generally left out, except in rare cases when the clip LED flashes.

(wired in parallel for an 8 Ohm equivalent load)and one 8 Ohm horn The 1001RB combo electronics are identical to the1001RB head and are rated for the same maximum power output and speaker load (540W into 4 Ohms, and 50W into 4 Ohms).

Amp mode through a GK-RBH cabinet, for the first time allows full access to the benefits of Bi-Amp sound. This is the reason the 1001RB Series is a Bi-Amp, and it is the reason you will be able to explore an entirely new territory of Bass sound.

Push it in and the 1001RB is voiced for five string instruments. For some playing styles you may want it in, even with a four string instrument…at least now, you have a choice!

The 1001RB Series uses a “dual rail power supply” that generates about half the heat of conventional amplifiers. Low output signals run off a low voltage supply, and high level signals run off a high voltage supply. This keeps the amp running a lot cooler and makes it much more reliable.
