Product Detail
Gallien-Krueger has been a pioneer in amplifier design and U.S. manufacturing for over half a century. Their Microbass and MB Series combos set the bar for performance and portability, still influencing the industry today. Building on this rich heritage of innovation and in-house manufacturing, the new Legacy Series combos from GK bring together great tone, high power, professional features, and portability, making them the ideal choice for gigging musicians. The heart of every Legacy Series combo is the Legacy preamp, which shares the DNA of the legendary 800RB. It's the ultimate evolution of a highly respected bass amplifier preamp. The Legacy preamp offers GK's classic 4-band EQ, foot-switchable overdrive with tone control, additional voicing filters like 'Bump', 'Contour', and 'Presence', balanced DI with Pre and Post EQ, an effects loop, and aux in and headphone output connections. These features are perfect for modern players and give GK its distinct tone. The Legacy Combos come in various speaker configurations including 1x12, 1x15, 2x10, 2x12, and 4x10, all equipped with Neodymium speakers made in GK's California factory. This allows players to choose the performance and portability they need. All Legacy combos are powered by the latest 800-watt switch mode power amp, capable of filling large stages and outdoor venues. They also have universal power for seamless operation from 100 to 240 volts, making them suitable for everything from local jams to major tours.
Using your Gallien - Krueger Legacy 115 Bass Combo Amplifier is easy. First, connect your bass guitar to the input jack. You can use the 4 - band active EQ to adjust the sound according to your preference. If you want some extra distortion, use the foot - switchable overdrive and adjust the 'Drive', 'Level', and 'Edge' controls. For additional sound shaping, play around with the 'Bump', 'Contour', and 'Presence' voicing filters. You can also connect external devices like effects pedals using the unbalanced 1/4” send and return or use the aux input for other audio sources. The headphone output is great for silent practice. When it comes to power, just plug it into a suitable power outlet as it supports 100 - 240 volts. Make sure to place the amplifier on a stable surface. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. After each use, turn off the amplifier properly. Periodically, check the connections and clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. The circuit boards have gold - plated connectors, so be gentle when handling them. If you're not using the amplifier for a long time, store it in a safe place, away from dust and potential damage.
