Gallien Krueger LEGACY500H Bass Amplifier Head

Bob Gallien's five decades of relentless innovation in the lab has culminated in the Legacy Series, representing the pinnacle of Gallien-Krueger's bass amplification expertise. This series shares the same DNA as the legendary 800RB that established GK as a solid-state bass amp leader in 1980, but with a more advanced feature set and construction philosophy that builds upon that foundation.

The original 800RB's signature growl, clarity and forward-thinking features cemented Gallien-Krueger's reputation in professional bass circles. The Legacy Series captures that same aesthetic whilst adding its own character, spanning the full spectrum from pristine, biting clean tones through to rich saturated overdrive.

Reliability and performance receive significant attention through a unique interconnection system that addresses the common issues caused by constant vibration and temperature fluctuations in professional use. Gold-plated circuit board connectors replace traditional tin cable connections, ensuring purer, more dependable sound reproduction over time.

The comprehensive feature set includes GK's classic 4-band EQ, overdrive with dedicated tone shaping, additional voicing filters including "Bump", "Contour", and "Presence", balanced DI with pre and post EQ options, effects loop, auxiliary and headphone connections, plus load capacity selection for optimal power output across 2, 2.7, 4 and 8-ohm cabinet configurations.
