Gallien-Krueger is largely a Casters response to these life experiences. Bi-amp Speaker Cable Nickel-plated and made to perform flawlessly for Being a Stanford educated engineer who worked his way through school as a musician, I understand These 2-circuit, 4-wire cables are years on the road. Available as replacements or these problems. As Gallien-Krueger’s director and principal innovator, I have always strived to design designed for connecting GK bi-amped for adding to cabinets. and build amplifiers that meet the real needs of working bass players: practical, reliable, portable, power- heads or combos to our horn-loaded ful, affordable, and most importantly, producing the sound and the response players need to make their speaker cabs. Plug in a single cable best music. and you’re wired. 8’ long.

I am proud of the reputation GK enjoys in the bass world. I am also proud of the many ways we’ve improved our amps over the years. GK has been focused on, and will always be focused on, creating real, substantive, innovative design refinements that yield improved sound, power, reliability, and function- ality.

Our 2003 product line is our best ever. Just as our 800RB amplifier has set the standard for large-venue amplification over the last two decades, our new products will set the standard in professional bass amp performance for years to come.
