eightball Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 as some of you may be aware, the LH1000 is gone. was a great, loud amp, but it just felt like i was tweaking all the time, never able to get MY sound. i was never really happy after my GK 1001RB. cue the MB; man what sound! does everything that my RB did+++++. it really is incredible that such a racket comes out of that wee box. i've done a few gigs with it, and everyone is amazed at it. had more than 1 person ask 'so you're plugging into that pre-amp? where's the power amp though?' i am pleased!

Musicman20 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Awesome! The LH is one damn loud amp...I used the 500 a few times on tour...but I always found it very 'basic' sounding...still good for the price though. Id like to hear the GK.

Bottle Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Got a GK head a few weeks back - used it in the studio last weekend (see [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59876"]this[/url] thread) Uber-impressed with it now it's been used in anger - was rather nervous for a while! Still, glad to see someone else grab a GK - good luck with it! All the best, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 There's life in my RB series yet , but if this amp proves long term reliable it's probably next on the shopping list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pal1972 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I'm considering this amp, but will be using it with an ashdown MAG15 cab so only getting the 350w at 8ohm rther than the full 500w. Ive just got rid of my ashdown LG1000 cos it felt like i just wasnt getting the volume out of it (and some research shows that could be due to it being a class D amp) wopuld the same problem arise with this GK one does anybody know?????
