Introduction

GK Philosophy

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.

As I am the principal innovator at G K, our products reflect my attitudes and life experiences. I don’t model my designs after other manufacturer’s products (as some of our competitors are proud of reciting). Instead, I believe new and old problems are best solved with new solutions. Having taken our own path, G K products enjoy a unique, unmatched sound, allowing the artist using them every opportunity to make an original statement.

Having supported my products for over thirty years, I have learned from the story they tell. Gallien-Krueger is a reflection of that story, and has a commitment to support that legacy. Just as the products I created thirty years ago are still telling their story, the products we create today will be talking to us tomorrow.

Safety Information

Verify Line, Voltage and Amperage Before

Use:

Your new 1001RB-II/700RB-II Series Bass Amp has
been factory configured for use with:
.·	120 Volt/60Hz 20 Amp circuit for USA & Canada.
.·	230 Volt/50Hz 10	Amp circuit for Europe
.·	& Australia.
	100 Volt/50Hz 20	Amp circuit for Japan.
.·	Proper AC circuit for all other countries.

Connecting the amplifier to a line with specifications other than indicated above can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the amplifier. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Verify AC Circuit Capacity Before Use:

The high power output of your amplifier may require heavy current draw under Full-Load conditions. To insure proper performance and avoid potential safety hazards, we recommend connection to line circuits with Amperage specified “as above”. Connecting multiple amplifiers to the same circuit, or connecting the amplifier to the same circuit used by other heavy-power devices, such as high-wattage lights, may cause circuit breakers to trip. It is always a good idea to avoid using any audio equipment on the same AC circuit as equipment with motors, such as air conditioners or refrigerators. This will lessen to possibility of power variation and electrical start-up noise affecting your sound.

Warning: Do not disconnect or plug in the instrument/speaker cable with the amplifier power on. Be sure the amplifier unit is turned off before connecting to the speaker.

Do Not Use Extension Cords:

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied with your unit. If a replacement cord is used, make certain that it is of consistent quality and gauge as the original. We do not recommend using extension cords with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately with cords meeting factory specifications.

Handle The AC Power Cord Gently:

When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the amplifier for a considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.

Mains Disconnect:

If the AC mains has to be completely disconnected, the plug/power cord is used as the mains disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.

Do Not Open TheAmplifier Enclosure:

There are no user-serviceable components inside this product. Opening the amplifier enclosure may present a shock hazard, and modification to the product will void your warranty. If liquid enters the unit, or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire, or staple accidentally falls inside the enclosure, disconnect the unit from the AC power source immediately and consult an authorized service station.

Unpacking:

The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new amplifier were specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibration that occur during transport. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping, in the event you move, or the amplifier needs repair.
