Members Deacon_blue Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 Now all I have to do is wait...and wait.I will be running it through my Yorkville cabinets for a while. I went to GC yesterday and played through the 1001 and 700 RB's.Even the 700 has a lot of meat and potatoes. I would have bought the 1001 RBII on the spot but the store manager wouldn't budge on price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deacon_blue Posted January 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 give a thurough review please. For sure.I got the 550 on the strength of a few reviews, like Willsellout's and the fact that I get a nervous twitch when I think about buying an amp without at least one tube.

Members willsellout Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 Did you check Musicians Advocate for a quote as well? They beat RMC's price when I bought mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willsellout Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 actually it looks like the one at TB is still available and could save you some cash. I know he just got it a few weeks ago. here is the link. It might save you some cash? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, but I wasn't as comfortable with MA as a reseller. Got free shipping with RMC; all is good, and 20 bucks won't change my lifestyle much. As far as GK goes, I think I will be happy. I can't believe what 2 clicks on a dial can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh OK, yeah I hit up MA and they beat everyone's price handily. I'm guessing that because of the popularity and good reviews it has gotten that they don't need to discount it:idk: Anyway, just to warn you, the Fusion is fairly different from the 700, and very different from the 1001RB IMO. It's an amazing head but it's got a lot more going for it than either of the other GK heads. I really hope you like it! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as somewhere in the tweaking It has the GK sound, I'm good. the RB series, with the exception of the 400 (which is based more on the 800RB circuit), all sound about the same. i played my 1001 and the 2001 and they sounded just the same.... the 2001 just has more power and a nice drive channel.
