New GK 800 Legacy!

[red_rhino]

The backwards layout EQ tradition on GK should have died before it became established.

+1,000,000

I've been playing thru an MB800 for years, and I still find the reverse layout off-putting and a bit disorienting when taking a quick glance at my tone controls mid-gig.

I would like to get an ice module put in this [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Except the chassis that's built on would be heavy even with a relatively tiny class-d power module. Also, those handles tend to "bite" dry hands. lol!

Will the existing RB series be discontinued?

So does this mean the RB series is going to be discontinued?

In case you haven't seen this: Legacy Heads — Gallien-Krueger

First view of the back. Thx for sharing. No surprises. Did you catch a weight anywhere?

This just popped up on GK's Facebook page. Interested in learning more about it.

I can add to this, there is suppose to be 3 more models to follow, available in 500, 800, 1100 watts, and the Legacy along with another new model, will be made into some combo options. It good to see more from GK.

I'm guessing what everyone wants (meaning ME!) is an amp that can get the 400rb and 800rb sounds AND other newer more modern GK tones. Some flexibility.

Do you all think this head will do it?

Not IMHO
It more of an evolution of the RB.
Thick with modern contours.

If you want more flexibility then wait for the PLEX head.

I’m familiar with the MB heads but not the RB. How do they differ tone wise?

 

[Hand slap]

As a big GK fan I’m definitely interested. But given GKs past track record on new releases this amp still won’t be on the market next year at this time.[/QUOTE. I was told by Jason @ GK, will be available pretty quick. I hope it’s not that long!!

 

[Hand slap]

Are these replacing the MB amps or will they both stay in the GK lineup?

I was told the MB 800 Fusion will go away, and production on the MB 800 has already stopped. But not the MB200. I suspect the MB500 series will stop as well. Jason at GK said there are improvements in the power amp, so, the bigger wattage MB series will disappear, because of that, but there is no change in the little MB200, so it will stick around.

I was told the analog RB series will NOT GO AWAY.

 

[ctmullins]

“Analog”??

 

[Hand slap]

“Analog”??

Class AB, the standard RB 1001, RB700

 

[ctmullins]

Right. “Class D” doesn’t mean “digital”, so the MB series is also analog.
