GK Settings

[mynan]

I just picked up a GK 1001/212 combo. I know there are a few guys here with 1001RB-IIs and I'm curious as to what settings are being used.

I have a GK 1001RB-II

I have my Contour and Presence all the way to the right....

The rest of the EQ knobs are set to flat ( 12 O'Clock )
Then I just use the 3 Band EQ on my Ray to dial in the sound I want..

The only thing you need to know is...pull the pin and squeeze...on a fire extinguisher. Sorry Arin, just had to do it.

Is that your at home setting or do you gig like that? You are scooping your mids in a big way there. Seems like you wouldn't stand out too well on stage. I dunno........Just my 2 cents

Here ya go:

Hope it helps a little.

Countour at about 10o'clock... everything else almost dead flat (I let the Bongo eq do the work)

Hmm, Thanks for the tip slucas, I'll try backing off the Contour and see what it does..

I keep volume usually at 11 or 12:00, contour & presence set to zero, EQ all at 12:00, boost at 12:00, and woofer & tweeter set to desired volume.

I change it depending on the bass really. For my bongo I usually keep everything pretty flat and use the onboard EQ.

Contour & presence both under a quarter. EQ flat except for a small boost of low mid. Boost at about 1 AM, tweeter just after midnight and woofer at about 2 AM.

Thanks guys. I played with it a little tonight after work, but before seeing these responses. I'll definitely give these a try, but I did find that less contour seems to be better. It seems like the more contour, the more my SR5 seems to drift toward sounding like the crappy boat-oars I used to play.

I also found that it seems to sound better with the woofer at about 2 or 3 o'clock and using the input level to control the volume.

Cripes, that is EXACTLY how I set up my 1001!!! Gotta have that boost up / contour down....

[mynan]

Yeah, I heard. Sorry about that. Any word from GK on getting it replaced?

Great minds.

 

[EBMM7181]

Stanky, could you maybe get a better close up of your 1001, I could barely make it out......

 

[Dr Stankface]

I'm not sure if you're kidding or if you're being serious.
