MGR/FRANK FROM NEW YOK STATE « Gallien-Krueger 800RB »
Published on 09/01/02 at 15:00I BOUGHT THIS AMP BRAND NEW AT PARKWAY MUSIC IN 1998 FOR 679 BECAUSE AFTER TRYING 4 OTHER BRANDS [fender SWR PEAVEY AMPEG ]THIS AMP IN MY OPINION SOUNDED THE BEST.
THE SIZE AND WEIGHT WERE PART OF MY CHOICE.THE OTHER WAS THE FEATURES. SIMPLE BI AMP OPERATION,TONE ADJUSTMENTS, AND THE AMOUNT OF POWER IT HAS IN FULL OR BI AMP RANGE. TOTALLY LOUD.OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A DECENT GUITAR AND PICKUPS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. NOT TO MENTION A SPEAKER CAB WITH THE PROPER OHM RATING AND MORE IMPORTANT A GOOD SPL RATING
IN THE 4 YEARS I OWNED THIS UNIT I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT NOTHING WENT WRONG WITH ITAND I PLAY ABOUT 90 -110 JOBS AYEAR WITH IT .SO I USE IT A LOT
ALL ALUMINUM CASE. CONTROLS ALL ARE QUIET. A NICE BIG HEAT SINK IN THE REAR THAT HEATS UP REAL GOOD WHEN THE MUSIC GETS LOUD.THE ENGINEER'S WHO DESIGNED IT DID A GRAT JOB INSIDE THE UNIT TO. I TOOK THE TOP OFF AND EVERYTHING HAS A NEAT TIDY APPEARENCE WITH A BIG TRANSFORMER WITH LOTS OF IRON IN IT TO MAKE HIGH CURRENT TO GET THE BIG SOUND GOING. THE ENGINEER'S FIGURED IN NOT TO USE A FAN WHICH IS ONE LESS THING TO GO WRONG . BRAVO...
BOTTOM LINE IS LIGHT WEIGHT SMALL SIZE lots OF POWER FAIR PRICE.SIMPLICITY OF USE AND MOST OF ALL RELIABILITY AND QUALITY THROUGH OUT. IM NOT KNOCKING THE OTHER BRANDS THEY ARE GOOD TOO. BUT FOR ME THIS HEAD HAS THE MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK AND IS HOLDING UP VERY WELL.
