Gallien-Krueger Legacy 1200 1,200W Bass Amp Head Black


Description
The introduction of the 800RB, in 1980, cemented Gallien-Krueger as a leader in solid-state bass amplification, with its signature growl, clarity, power and features that were ahead of its time. The Legacy Series of heads captures that same aesthetic while adding something all its own. From clean, clear, biting tones, to saturated overdrive, the Legacy series has it all. Coming in 500, 800 and 1,200W Class D models, the Legacy heads are ready for the biggest stages, the smallest living rooms, and everything in between.
To improve performance and reliability, the Legacy Series uses a unique interconnection system that eliminates problems that can develop over time from constant vibration and temperature extremes that gear is subjected to with heavy use. Using circuit boards with gold-plated connectors, rather than cables with standard tin connectors, this type of construction delivers a more pure, reliable sound. Features include GK's classic 4-band EQ, overdrive complete with tone shaping, additional voicing filters such as "Bump," "Contour" and "Presence", balanced DI with pre- and post-EQ, an effects loop, aux. and headphone connections, and Load capacity selection, to deliver optimum power into 2-, 2.7-, 4- and 8-ohm cabinet configurations.

I was looking to just reduce the weight of my rig for gigging, but I was not willing to sacrifice the tone I was used to with my current setup. This head delivered on that far better than I expected and saves my back!
Great EQ, plenty of power, awesome size and weight

I bought this primarily for use in my thrashy punk band and our little adventures in venues ranging from dive bars to bigger festivals and events. I usually lean towards the baked-in GK sound (semi-scooped upper mids, lots of rumble and attack), and have usually gotten there on cheaper heads. This is my first actual GK, however. Had my first gig on it before I even got to fire it up at home and try it out. I was very surprised at how solid it sounded with the EQ all at noon and the tone switches off. All I did was cut a bit of upper mid and treble, and it was ready for it's first seething set through my old Peavey 810TX. It has a lot of tonal "heft" in the lows and low mids that my other Class D heads dont have. Very solid, whereas the others sound kind of hollow. My only gripes are that the head gets pretty warm before the fans kick on (they're very quiet, btw), and the drive isn't really my flavor of dirt. The drive isn't an issue for me, because this head is basically a pedal platform. It does a pretty decent impression of an overdriven tube amp, but I don't really care for it. I like the snap of the clean channel and how the EQ sets the stage for my overdrives and distortion, as well as the body and fullness of the tone. Classic GK sound, but just a lot easier to carry around.
Amazing tone! Aggressive gain channel with power to spare!
