Always Listening
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’m a Stanford
educated engineer who worked my 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 GK, our products
reflect my attitudes and life experiences. I don’t
mod el my desig ns after other ma nufacturers’
products. Instead, I believe new and old problems
are best solved with new solutions. Having taken our
own path, GK products enjoy a unique, unmatched
sound, allowing you every opportunity to make an
original statement.
If your amplifier did not come with all the items listed,
or if you encounter problems while setting up your
new equipment, please contact your local dealer or
GK as soon as possible.

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
over thirty five years ago are still telling their story,
the products we create today will be talking to us
tomorrow.
We’ll be listening,

Safety Information
700RB-II & 1001RB-II
Please read all enclosed safety precautions before
connecting or operating this product.
Verify Line Voltage and Amperage: Your new
amplifier has been factory configured for use with
the following:
120 Volt/60Hz 15 A circuit for USA/Canada.
230 Volt/50Hz 10 A circuit for UK/Australia.
240 Volt/50Hz 10 A circuit for Europe.
100 Volt/50Hz 15 A circuit for Japan.
Safety Information
220 Volt/50Hz 10 A circuit for Korea.
Verify AC Circuit Capacity Before Use: The high
power output of your amplifier may require heavy
current draw under full-load conditions. Connecting
the amplifier to a line with specifications other than
indicated above can create a safety or fire hazard and
may damage the amplifier. Connecting 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 the possibility of power variation and elec
trical start-up noise affecting your sound.
AC Power Cord: To avoid safety hazards, use only
the power cord supplied with your unit. If a replacement
cord is needed, make certain to use a standard IEC
compliant cord. Damaged power cords should be
replaced immediately. When setting up, make certain
that the AC plug is easily accessible. If you do not intend
to use the amplifier for a considerable length of time,
disconnect the plug from the AC Mains Socket.
Earth Grounding Connection: To prevent electric
shock, do not remove the grounding plug on the power
cord, or use any plug or extension cord that does not
have a grounding plug provided. Make certain that
the AC outlet is properly grounded as well. Do not
use an adapter plug with this product.
Do Not Open the Amplifier Enclosure:
are no user-serviceable parts inside this product.
Opening the amplifier enclosure may present a shock
hazard. Modification to the product will void your
warranty. If liquid enters the unit, or any metal
object such as a paper clip accidentally falls inside
the enclosure, disconnect the unit from the AC power
source immediately and consult an authorized service
station.
Setup: To insure proper operation and to avoid
potential safety hazards, place the unit on a firm, level
surface. Do not plug or unplug the instrument or
speaker cable while the amplifier power is on.
Heat & Ventilation: For proper ventilation, make
sure there is at least 8” of clearance above the unit
for combos and 1.75” (one rack space) of clearance
above the unit for heads. Avoid using in extremely
hot or cold locations and areas that are exposed to
direct sunlight or near heating equipment. Avoid using
in moist or high humidity areas.
Cleaning & Maintenance: Clean only with a dry
-
cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol, or other
volatile cleaning agents. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid
spraying inse cticides near the unit . No other
maintenance should be necessary.
Traveling: If Traveling with the unit frequently, we
recommend a road case or cover to protect it from
scratches and road wear.
Packaging: The carton and packing materials used in
shipping your new amplifier were specifically 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.
