Bottomgottem Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 One of the most reliable heads out there. It's a real work horse. You made a good buy. My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front.

Rowbee Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I think your opinion of it is probably the most important. Now theres three of you in a band, youre like a proper band. Youre like the policemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuma Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I just rehearsed at a studio that had one of these. It's a very punchy unit. I liked it. It has a definite sound to it as well. I always think of Duff McKagan on that first Guns'n'Roses album. Does that one have the built in chorus? The one I played did and I thought it sounded pretty cool. I couldn't tell you much about what year it is and so on. Just play it man! It's a good head. Off you go! , Zuma http://zumaz.com http://myspace.com/zumazmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soretro80s Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 thanks for all the comments guys. I figured it was a pretty good head. Its very loud, very powerful. and very easy to get the EXACT sound you want out of it. it doesnt have a built in chorus. atleast...i dont think..lol..I havent honestly messed with it too too much. Ive just been so busy working and playing with my band..that i havent really taken the time to go through it thouroughly. Im actually going to do that probably tonite. come to think of it. if i have some extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster6550 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 FWIW, the GK with the built-in Chorus is the 1200-SEB. (There was also a combo version, 1200-SEL, IIRC.) I have the SEB -- hard to find, but a great little amp. Built-in compressor and limiter, too, in additioin to the chorus, in addition to the normal GK features. I wish it was 100 watts more powerful, but. . . Also had an 800-RB, the big brother of the 400-RB. What a great amp for the time -- my first "real" big amp. . .And, yes, that Duff McKagan tone. . .He's the man. . . Overall, nice score on the amp. . . They're a real work-horse. . .You can hammer nails with 'em. . .

rooster6550 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 BTW, Your amp looks to be from the mid-80's to very early-90's. The older ones have a horizontally-mounted rocker switch for the AC on/off. . .The newer ones have the same switch, only mounted vertically. . .
