Gallien-Krueger's Legacy Series is the culmination of fifty years of design, innovation and industry experience. Building on the foundation laid by GK's legendary 800RB in 1980, the Legacy Series captures that same aesthetic whilst bringing its own unique character to the table. The Gallien-Krueger Legacy 800 is an ultra-portable, high-powered solid state bass amp head that is ready for the biggest stages, the home studio and everything in between.

The Legacy 800 represents everything that is great about solid state amplification. Boasting 800 watts in a mind-blowingly small package, the Legacy 800 delivers everything from crystal cleans to gritty, saturated overdrive tones with a plethora of tone shaping options. The independent overdrive circuit with tone control can be activated via the included footswitch for seamless use in a live environment. The Legacy 800 is equipped with GK's classic 4-band EQ with additional "Bump", "Contour", and "Presence" voicing filters, allowing you to dial in the perfect bass tone with ease. Furthermore, the Legacy 800 has a balanced DI with pre and post EQ, an effects loop and aux and headphone connections, making it a valuable asset in your rehearsal space.

The Legacy 800's load capacity selector ensures it delivers optimal power into 2, 2.7, 4 and 8ohm cabinet configurations. All Legacy Series amps use a unique interconnection system to help eliminate problems that can arise from extremes in temperature and heavy vibrations. By using circuit boards with gold-plated connectors as opposed to cables with standard tin connectors, the Legacy 800 is extremely reliable and delivers a purer sound.

Stuff About Amp Heads

An amp head contains the core tone and power of a guitar amplifier without the built-in speakers, allowing you to pair it with the cabinet of your choice. This setup offers greater flexibility over sound and volume, as different speaker cabinets can dramatically change the feel and character of the amp. Amp heads are available in valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, ranging from low-wattage studio models to high-powered touring rigs. They’re ideal for players who want a modular setup, precise control over their tone, and the ability to adapt their rig to different venues, cabinets, or recording situations.

Stuff About Amps

Guitar amps cover everything needed to amplify, shape, and project your guitar sound, from small practice setups to full stage and studio rigs. In this category you’ll find combo amps, separate amp heads and speaker cabinets, covering valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, each offering a different feel and response. You’ll also see modelling and digital amps, built-in effects, footswitches, attenuation solutions, replacement speakers, valves, and essential accessories to keep an amp performing at its best. Whether you’re chasing pristine cleans, classic crunch, or modern high-gain tones, guitar amps and related gear are all about finding the right balance of power, tone, and control for the way you play.
