Gallien Krueger Legacy 500
Product information "Gallien Krueger Legacy 500"
The Legacy Series represents 50 years of design, innovation, and worldwide stage credibility at Gallien-Krueger. The Legacy Series has the same designer (Bob Gallien) as the 800RB, the same DNA, and the same level of innovation, but with an enhanced set of features.
The introduction of the 800RB in 1980 cemented Gallien-Krueger's position as the market leader in solid-state bass amplification with its distinctive growl, clarity, power, and some features that were ahead of its time. The new head elite of the Legacy Series captures the same aesthetic while adding something all its own. From clean, clear, biting tones to rich overdrive, the Legacy series has it all. Legacy heads are available in 500, 800, and 1200-watt Class D models and are suitable 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 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.

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.“
– Robert Gallien

Ich habe den Legacy 500 mit meinem älteren GK Fusion 550 verglichen - das ist ein Unterschied als wenn man aus einem alten Ford Mustang steigt und den Rest des Weges mit einem E-Scooter weiterfährt... Aber mal im Ernst - was ist das für ein künstlicher, HiFi-artiger, lebloser Klang der einem da entgegen klingelt? Ich vermute, es liegt an diesen furchtbaren Class-D Endstufen! Wenn man an den Reglern dreht, schiebt man den amp über die Box, so leicht sind diese geschrumpften Kisten - hat die haptische Anmutung von Spielzeug und klingt irgendwie komisch substanzlos.
Potencia de sobras pa lo que sea (no grandes escenarios…jejej) Para casa es un 10/10 Algo extraño es que para usarlo con auriculares tienes que ponerlo en mute si no la señal de los headphones distorsiona Suena muuuy bien!
