 Hot new tops from Gallien-Krueger
California based Gallien-Krueger have launched two ultra lightweight bass heads and the Neo Series of Bass enclosures. The MB150-E amp head delivers a punchy 150 watts and only weighs an amazing 5Kg. Measuring 35cm x 25cm and standing 9cm high these little guys are perfect for gigging and studio work, or any situation that requires portability. The new E head has stereo chorus (rate and depth controls), stereo FX in/out loop and stereo DI output with a cool blue LED on light. The MB150-S has been upgraded to a 150S-MkIII. This looks just as cool as the E version, and offers mono FX loop with DI output. Both models come as standard with 1/4" jack inputs (with 10dB pad), 2 mid-band Eqs (MB150-E has parametric mid EQ), treble & bass, voicing filters, limiter and headphone output. Also available in the Micro Bass series is the MB150S-III combo with a 1x12 speaker.
The 400RB IV, 700RB II and the 1001RB II rackmount bass heads have all been upgraded with a redesigned pre and extended power output.
On the enclosure side the Neo range offers the Gallien-Krueger silky-smooth sound in a practical, easy to handle package. The custom designed cast-frame Neodymium loudspeakers deliver an awesome power output at a fraction of the weight. The Neo 112 (1x12+horn) is only 18Kg but it can produce 102dB of sound level, with an 8 Ohm load, backed up by a massive 300W RMS power rating tag.
Also available are the Neo 212 (2x12+horn) 600W, the Neo 115 (1x15+horn) 300W and the Neo 412 (4x12+horn) which can handle an incredible 1200W RMS. All cabinets can be switched between standard full range operation or Gallien-Krueger's proprietary horn bi-amp system, and come standard with both Speakon and 1/4" jack output connectors.
Gallien-Krueger enjoy a star studded list of bass players the world over, including Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Dave Taylor (Bryan Adams), Greta Brinkman (Moby), Tom Hamilton (Aerosmith) and Tony Kanal (No Doubt). |
