Gallien Krueger Introducing NEW RB Legacy

[DJ Bebop]

Class D and G/H are both non-linear analog power amps.

Yep!

Thanks for that!

Now get back in there and continue to create those wonderful Mesa bass toys!

From dis guy…

The thread will be ratcheted toward a different company. I think it's rude.

No, we should keep on GK.
That's why I told him to get back to work in the barn.

Has anyone here seen a photograph (or an engineering drawing) of the rear panel layouts on the new RB legacy 1001 and 2001 ?

Thank you!


I hope this new series might inspire GK to offer a 2-12 cab that's more like 22 inches wide so a rack can sit on top without hanging off.

With a caster kit. .... and maybe two or three grille options...

...or I could just wing it I suppose...

$125 for the 400RB (with stickers and extra "operational graphics" thrown in for free), $65 for the USA-mfg dbx166, $2 garage door handle, a few cents in velcro. What began as a Bandmaster cabinet has been internally-upgraded fairly significantly.

Even though basking in luxury with a rig such as this, If the early reviews on the Legacy RB1001 seem promising, I'll still probably get one.

All this fancy, pretty, shiny new polished gear everywhere,...
I feel like "showroom salesman" vs "musician".
Sorry, but in my opinion you can't beat that look.

Sorry I am a bit late to this thread. Pre-NAMM, NAMM, and Post-NAMM has occupied a lot of my time lately - as has an on-going large addition to my residence, and an unexpected need to replace the furnace for my office (while I was at NAMM and while temps were below zero in Ohio - fun!).

At any rate, we were super impressed with the RB Legacy heads at NAMM, and Bass Gear Magazine ended up handing GK a Best of Show Award for the new RB heads.

We also recently posted a video short, with our very own Tony Puleo giving us an introduction to the RB Legacy heads.

“I preordered mine!”

Just curious if anybody has heard updated estimated shipping date(s)?

(other than GK's "Shipping MAY 2025" or Sweetwater's " estimated August 2025")

 

[frankie5string]

So are these new Legacy heads basically a Legacy preamp with a Class-H power amp grafted on? Or is there some aspect of the original RB preamp that's not part of the Class-D line that's been added here?

 

[LetItGrowTone]

Don't overlook the above question please.
Also, someone should ask GK if a production run has been made already (if the amps exist already).

Long and McQuade in Canada has just updated their shipping date to April 2026!

 

[LetItGrowTone]

Fear not, for 'tis but a "three hour tour".

That sucks to have it pushed out a year

It’s not atypical, unfortunately.

Sweetwater saying August 2025.

What about all these 5 star reviews of people who dream of having one in the future?!

Pretty crazy, eh? Maybe they are time travelers reviewing amps from the future?

 

[NitroBobby]

seriously. three 5-star reviews based on the reviewers imagination? the second one makes it seem like they've been gigging it for months.

lol

internet reviews....there ya go
