guyl Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've just rackmounted my 1001RB. The fan is on the top, so I've not put anything for 1 rack space above. I have a half-space wireless unit with rackmounting kit. The kit puts the half unit to one side and would fit above the GK without blocking the fan. However, the kit would blank out the front of the rackspace and would restrict the flow of air around the GK. Has anyone got any experience of this, or know how temperamental the GK can be about "fresh air"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguyhomer Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 guyl, I had a 1001RBII - it was rackmounted in a shallow 3U SKB case with a Korg tuner immediately above it. The tuner was right up to the fan but didn't cover it. I gigged with it every week for about 8 months with no problems at all and it never got warm.

I'm really pleased with it - sounds great in every musical situation (although it suits electric bass better than upright). You remember that "scratchy" pot? It actually needed replacing and that is a bugger of a job on these heads. I figured I'd better take really good care of it so I don't need to replace any others - hence the flightcase. Thanks also Russ - it's the AKG that I'll be fitting - sound's like it won't be a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Aha! ...it's you!! Sorry about the scratchy pot. Hope the head gives you as much good service as I got from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I used to rackmount mine in a 2U rack case, but I drilled some holes in the top where the fan is. It was a flat panel ABS case, not the SKB style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
