Gallien-Krueger 1001 RB Legacy 1000W Bass Amp Head

The Gallien-Krueger 1001RB Legacy is a 1000W bass amplifier head that represents a new era in bass amplification. Designed by Bob Gallien, the founder and president of GK, the 1001RB Legacy is the culmination of over 50 years of experience and innovation. This amp delivers unparalleled performance, studio-quality sound, and a host of features designed to meet the needs of the most demanding bassists.

Class H Power and Unrivaled Performance

The 1001RB Legacy features a Class H power amplifier with two power supplies, one for lower output levels and one for higher output levels. This configuration improves reliability and allows you to push the amp to its limits without overheating or sacrificing tone. The 1001RB Legacy delivers a powerful, punchy sound that will cut through any mix, even at high volumes.

Riding the Rails

Unlike most amps that start to lose power and definition when pushed to their maximum output, the 1001RB Legacy delivers almost twice the current required to reach full power. This allows you to maintain control over your speaker cones, even in extreme conditions, resulting in a responsive and articulate sound with exceptional punch and clarity. The 1001RB Legacy excels at "riding the rails," producing a powerful, growly sound that is perfect for aggressive playing styles.

Advanced Features for Tonal Control

The 1001RB Legacy is packed with features that give you unprecedented control over your sound. The adjustable limiter allows you to tame excessive signal peaks and prevent unwanted distortion, while the cabinet simulation provides a realistic cabinet feel for your DI and headphone signal. The studio-quality headphone amp delivers exceptional sound quality for silent practice, and the voicing filters allow you to completely re-voice the amplifier with the flip of a switch.

Active EQ and Boost

The 1001RB Legacy features GK's proprietary active 4-band equalizer with variable Q. This EQ allows for precise tonal shaping without compromising your sound. The boost section utilizes two selected field effect stages to optimize the Gate Induced Valve Effect (G.I.V.E.), providing a warm, tube-like grit that can be further shaped with the edge control.

Built for the Modern Bassist

The Gallien-Krueger 1001RB Legacy is designed for the modern bassist who demands the best in performance, versatility, and reliability. Whether you're playing on stage, in the studio, or at home, the 1001RB Legacy delivers the power, tone, and features you need to take your bass playing to the next level.
