PG's Joe Coffey is On Location in Nashville, TN, for Summer NAMM
'09 where he visits the Gallien-Krueger booth. In this segment, we get
to see and hear three of Gallien Krueger's newest offerings.
First
up is the MB500, which is a 500 watt bass head that will easily fit
into your gig bag. Coming in at 10.75" x8.5" x1.75" and just under four
pounds, the MB500 packs a considerable punch for its compact size. It
features a four-band active EQ and contour control, that allows you to
tweak your tone before hitting the digital power section. The preamp
section also features a footswitchable boost channel with independent
volume control.
Even smaller in size, the MB Fusion is the
newest product released by Gallien-Krueger. Built on the success of the
MB 500, the new MB Fusion incorporates the same all-tube preamp of the
Fusion 550 and maintains a sleek and small design. It comes loaded with
3-12AX7 preamp tubes, four-band EQ and Deep and Bright switches.
The
Fusion 1050 incorporates a six stage tube preamp paired with a 1000
watt version of the high current solid state power amp used in the
2001RB. It comes with three-12AX7 preamp tubes, Gain-Master-Horn
controls, four-band active EQ and a variable Contour control with a mid
frequency select.
