Gallien-Krueger Legacy 115 1×15″ 800W Bass Amp Combo

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 115 is a high-powered bass amp combo that’s ready for small-to-medium sized gigs, the home studio, and everything in between!

All The Appointments You Need!

The Legacy 115 represents everything that’s great about solid-state amplification. Boasting 800 watts in a conveniently portable package, the Legacy 115 delivers everything from crystal cleans to gritty, saturated overdrive tones with a plethora of tone-shaping options. The independent overdrive circuit can be activated via the included footswitch for seamless use in a live environment. The Legacy 115 is also equipped with GK’s classic 4-band EQ with additional ‘Bump’, ‘Contour’, and ‘Presence’ voicing filters — allowing you to dial in the perfect bass sound with ease. Furthermore, the Legacy 115 has a balanced DI with pre and post EQ, an effects loop and aux/headphone connections.

Neodymium Speaker, Reliable Design

At the heart of the Legacy 115 is a lightweight 15″ neodymium woofer and a 1″ tweeter, manufactured by GK in their California factory. The speaker and cabinet are designed from the ground up to work together to deliver the best possible performance for bass guitar. All Legacy Series amps also 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 too, the Legacy 115 is extremely reliable and delivers a purer sound.

Key Features

• 4-Band Active EQ — Derives from GK’s legendary 800RB amp; providing extensive tone-sculpting potential so that you can find the sonic sweet-spot. To further enhance the equalizer range, GK’s added three voicing filters: ‘Bump’, ‘Contour’ and ‘Presence’.
• Overdrive Circuit — This can be adjusted to fatten up your sound or to produce heavy overdrive. GK has added an ‘Edge’ control to help you shape the sound to your situation, while the included footswitch lets you activate the drive circuit when you need that extra grit!
• Comprehensive I/O — All Legacy combos come with a complete patch bay. The balanced DI has selectable pre/post and ground lift switches, the headphones and aux in are 1/8″ jacks to accommodate the most common products, and there are tuner and send/return jacks for your pedals too!
• Trim Control — Use this to get the best level match between your instrument and the Legacy. When this is adjusted correctly, the clip light will only flash occasionally to indicate that you have the perfect setup.
• Modern Power Amp — Legacy combos use the latest available digital power amps with switch-mode supplies. These deliver a punchy, driving sound at a fraction of the weight and power consumption of analogue power systems. They are safe down to 2 Ohms and operate from 100V to 240V mains.
• Lightweight Construction — Enclosures are made from plywood, with ample bracing to form a robust box. The interior is covered with damping material to absorb high frequencies from the rear of the speaker, which prevents them from coming out the port and interfering with the high frequencies from the front of the speaker.
• Neodymium Speaker — Legacy combos incorporate neodymium woofers designed and manufactured by GK, renowned for their feather-light weight without sacrificing performance or “punchiness”.
• Cooling System — Legacy combos are cooled using two fans that are temperature controlled. At low temperatures the fans are off, as the amplifier temperature rises the fans come on slowly and run faster the warmer it gets.
• Status Indicators — Tell you if there is a shorted output (oc) or overheated (ot) condition. Also, the standby indicator (stby) shows white when the power is off; indicating the mains supply is good. If the input is overdriven, the clip indicator will flash red.
• Universal Power — Legacy combos operate from 100V to 240V, 50/60Hz mains, so you can take them anywhere in the world and simply plug in. No converters or special supplies required!
