We are very proud of the 1000RB, G-K's most pow-
erful bass amplifier to date, and in many ways, the
culmination of 27 years in the amplification busi-
ness. The 1000RB was designed with you in mind -
to be your personal creative tool, to give you the ulti-
mate bass response and tone. We've learned many
things by talking to bass players like you for almost
three decades. We know you want lots of headroom
and raw power, yet you want your amp to be dead
quiet and free of noise. Your need fast response and
clarity. And perhaps most of all, you want all that
great performance night after night, year after year,
from an amp that will never let you down.
The 1000RB is definitely not just another high power
bass amp. Its High Current Capacity output stages-
capable of delivering instantaneous power of 5,000
watts - are revolutionary. Its relay-activated Fault
Detection Circuitry is state - of - the art. All the
design parameters for the 1000RB are optimized for
response, headroom, and reliability.
Like all G-K bass amps, the 1000RB is user friendly.
It's easy to get the sound you're looking for - in fact,
it is hard to get a bad sound. We took all the same
responsive bass tone G-K amps are known for, and
made it even better. We think you will be very
pleased with your new 1000RB. We are.

Introduction
Power
: 500 watts RMS into 4 ohms
High Current Capacity
: 60 amps peak current
(5,000 watts of instantaneous power) gives the
1000RB unparalleled transient response with
complete control over the movement of your
speakers.
Low Noise Operation
: Both preamp and power
amp stages have increased headroom so that
noise ( hiss ) is barely perceptible.
Fault Detection Circuitry
: Relays automatically
disconnect the amplifier from your speakers
during power up/down, or if any unsafe
operating conditions occur.
Fan Cooling
: Temperature controlled, continuously
variable fan speed.
Tuner output with footswitchable mute.
Tunable Voicing Filters
Four Band Active Equalization
Boost 1 (Normal) & Boost 2 (High Gain)
:
Footswitching between these two sections.
GIVE Technology
: Gate Induced Valve Effect,
used throughout for warm, "punchy" response.
Parallel effects loop with Stereo Aux In and Aux
Return Level
Direct/balanced output
: Electronically balanced,
low impedance output with variable level,
pre/post & ground lift switches.
Speakon
connectors
: For reliable connection of
high power / high current outputs to speaker
cabinets.
