Gallien Krueger Fusion S 500W head B-Stock
Product information "Gallien Krueger Fusion S 500W head B-Stock"
The Fusion S Series tops are GK's brand new Class D models with tube preamp. The rich, popular warmth of the tubes combined with the fast, powerful performance section that GK bass amplifiers are known for is an unparalleled experience. These heads feature three 12ax7 tubes in the preamp, combined with a special overdrive channel. Like the Legacy series, the Fusion S series uses a unique interconnection system that eliminates problems that can arise over time from constant vibration and extreme temperatures. By using circuit boards with gold-plated connectors instead of cables with standard tin connectors, this type of construction delivers a purer and more reliable sound. Features include GK's classic 4-band EQ, tube overdrive with tone shaping, additional voicing filters at the touch of a button such as "Bump," "Contour," and "Presence," balanced DI with pre- and post-EQ, an effects loop, aux and headphone jacks, and selectable load capacity to deliver optimal performance in 2-, 2.7-, 4-, and 8-ohm cabinet configurations.

The success story began in 1968 with a self-built amplifier and the then-unknown guitarist Carlos Santana, who took the first Gallien-Krueger amp with him to the Woodstock Festival the following year. To this day company founder and mastermind Robert Gallien has designed and brought to market numerous high-quality, innovative and legendary bass amplifiers. In doing so, however, he never modelled himself on other products or let anything divert him from his vision, but always sought his own, better solutions.
„I have never seen the point in doing things the way others have done them. I also have not been very interested in following the latest fad.“
