Gallien-Krueger Legacy 800 Demo

- The Legacy Series represents fifty years of design, innovation and industry experience at Gallien-Krueger. Bob Gallien remains at the helm of the company, still working in the lab daily, as he did in the beginning, to create the best sounding, most versatile, and reliable professional bass gear available.Because the Legacy Series shares the same designer as the 800RB, it shares the same DNA and the same level of innovation, with a more evolved feature set and construction concept.
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 new 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 1200 watt 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 circuitboards 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 8ohm cabinet configurations.

Awesome review. \m/ I am long time gallien-Krueger player and I am intrigued by this amp. I do like how crunchy and punchy this amp can sound. It has such incredible versatility. I am definitely considering buying this amp.
Another Great GK demo video ( great playing guys ! thanks Bass Channel) , love both the Fusion S & Legacy ... good job GK.
I want the Josh DuBois amp.
His tones are always amazing.
I have both a Legacy 1200 and a Fusion 1200. Different animals, but some similar sounds. The Fusion tube front end compresses, so I don't need a compressor. I use a Hyperluminal or AG TLC with the Legacy. They both do that GK thing I love. Good demo, guys!
How relevant! I’m currently thinking of trading my Genzler Magellan 800 for one of these bad bois.
I just got mine. I freaking love it!
finally some good bass playing on a demo
Nice! But an explanation on what each of the voicings do and a/b examples would be good. Like what the hell is "edge" and "bump"? :D
I've watched a couple demos on these new amps, and those controls are a bit cryptic. I just went and looked at the manual...still doesn't really make sense.
Edge adds more crunch to the overdrive channel (higher frequencies). Bump adds more subs to the overall EQ sound (clean or or OD channel). Contour adjust the mid range profile (raises highs and lows, drops the mids). I am in a Tool tribute band and use the Fusion S 800 - I use the alternate voicing, bump off, contour on, low mids around 11:00, high mids around 1:00, hi mid cut on (button pressed in), treble around 3:00, no presence. Using G&L Custom Shop CLF 2000 in series mode - this plus a Sans Amp Para DI pedal gets super close to Chancellor's tone.
@@peterduncan9277 that's awesome! I have the same amp and run similar settings. I use a Stingray and bump the treble and bass on board and keep the amp a little closer flat.
GK stuff sounds good. I had the MB 200 and whatever the next size up was. Both died too early. Maybe just that series, but it has made me cautious of their new gear.
The output transistors burned up. A common problem with GK
@@PhuckHue2 you don't know that is a common problem with a GK amp my gk amp is over 20 years old no problem ever you don't know what your talking about
@@deegee6046 Another bassist who can't play and knows nothing about electronics
@@deegee6046so because your one amp out of tens of thousands of units is fine there can't possibly be a design issue?
This is anecdotal evidence and survivorship bias to a tee.
Nice to see some Gibson basses played
"I don't know why you wouldn't, I like basses."
HERE HERE!
I have had crosshairs on this for awhile.
I'm interested in trying this one out. just wish the music stores near me had decent bass equipment. Maybe i'll go for a drive in a few weeks and track one down.
Why is the fender rumble 800 head nearly identical to this? Who copied who?
Where is Chris?
Smart idea to have multiple players
Where is Chris?
Still here. Just behind the camera
@@TheBassChannel wooow I feel so special, TBC knows of my existence, I can die in peace now.
Love and use gk. But here nothing special
Where is Chris?
Still here. Just back behind the camera again.
Lesssssdeewwwit
Ive been playing since 1981. And I’ve had
Many Bass set ups. The last one of 6 years was a Markbass 800 Watt with the 210 cab. The Head blew a Chineese Motherboard. $400. To fix after paying $700. New for 3 years use. And lightly.
Now have a GK 800 Watt Legacy Amp and GK 210 NEO cab. Love it! Clear sound. I can hear myself play all the notes with out blaring the sound.
Thanks GK. You are Truly the leader in Bass Technology!!!🎶🤘
Gostei demais 👏👏
No ADAM review yet?
Soon
Should I buy a used RB700 or should I buy the Legacy 800 ?
what kind of cabs is this head plugged into?
Awesome sounding amp… thanks for the good demoes 😜👍🏼
That was a nice run at 5:22
...and the markbasss?
All the playing was great and I especially liked the piece that was played at 01:56. Is that an original?
Jamaaladeen Tacuma Groove alla turca?
Is this rack mountable?
It's said but all these amps and other brands went up $200 since bozo has been in office....
Yeah. It’s his fault. 😂
The largest contributor to rising inflation is the massive overprinting of the dollar by the Federal Reserve. The President and Congress have zero control over them.
How about the back of the amp ??
ugh toneless Class D. My 800RB from the 80's still rules
Ok boomer
@@sixthgatebass then you wonder why you can't play
its based on the same circuit.
@@BassRacerx Not the same circuit its Class D. The original 800RB is Class A/B
@@PhuckHue2 that's the power circuit. not the preamp. The power amp has very little influence on tone unless you are cranked and you are measuring for artifacts/sags/distortion. You would not want a Class A amp today they are so heavy and a lot of technological progress has been made with simiconductors to make class d power even better than class a power from 30 years ago.
