Full Description

The Final Word on Bass Amplification

Whilst you may have never heard of Gallien Krueger you have heard one on record. The choice for serious performers and artists. The RB series has forever been at forefront of bass amp design. The amplifier for true professionals. Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Duff McKagan of Guns’n’Roses fame, a huge array of genre spanning session players and the jazz legend Dave Holland. They all use these exceptionally crafted, US built bass amplifiers.

Their popularity amongst the pros stems from their commitment to tonal quality. The RB 1001 proves this through its top-class electronics and architecture. This 1080-watt mega amp provides huge volume and some of the most in-depth tone shaping possible out of an amplifier. It all starts at the power 4-Band EQ. Shaping the foundation of your tone with pin point accuracy. Then the voicing filters, through which the signal is boosted or attenuated to taste. Push the signal through a little bit of overdrive using the in-built drive circuit or completely mangle it for that hardcore tone. It all adds to an incredible bass playing experience.

Total Tonal Power

Non-compromised tonal clarity. The RB 1001 features a unique horn bi-amp system, this gives you huge sound. This is used to send the high-end frequencies to the horn through a separate amplifier. This means that the horn level can be controlled on the front panel and keeps the amplifier from breaking from heavy usage. Make sure that every note maintains full impact every time. The two 540-watt power amps allow for a versatile bridged or dual mono operation which allows for expansive cabinet set ups.
