Product description

Plex Preamp Pedal. Combining the proven tone shaping of GK’s legendary bass amplifiers with state of the art technology to deliver an impressive feature set, the PLEX is the next generation of bass preamp. In addition to the four-band Active/Variable Q equalizer that has been a favorite of professional bass players for over 40 years, the PLEX incorporates the tools the modern bass player has come to rely on for the stage and studio, all in a pedal board friendly package. Foot switchable Compressor, Chromatic Tuner and Boost, Aux input, Phones Output, XLR output with pre/post and ground lift, FX loop and USB output make the PLEX the solution for any playing situation. Expanded Voicing Options Every knob of the PLEX features push activated functions that allow the user to tailor every nuance of their sound beyond the range of traditional tone controls. As each knob is pressed, the indicator is lit blue to signify that an option is engaged and the readout displays the current option level that is active. Need more low end thump? Push the bass/ bump knob to engage multiple levels of bass enhancement. Scooping out some mids for the ultimate slap tone is as easy pressing the low-mid/contour knob until you find just the right notch. Get rid of excessive pick noise and click by pressing the hi-mid/ hi-cut knob. Add just the right amount of “air” to a dark instrument or speaker via the presence function accessed by pressing the treble/presence knob. No amp? No worries Obviously, the pedal board friendly format, distortion, compressor and chromatic tuner with large LED display make PLEX an “all in one” extension of your existing live amp rig. But let’s face it, not every session or live performance has the need or capacity to allow for your favorite GK rig running at gig volume. The convenience of tracking direct and the use of in-ear monitors on stage has many players leaving their amps at home. With its world class preamp and virtually unlimited tone shaping, wide range...

User questions & answers

Question: Does this work with an unpowered cab speaker? As in preamp direct into speaker not amp
Answer: The correct answer to the question is that it’s an 8” speaker.
Question: What are the actual device dimensions
Answer: It does not have any form of batteries. You must have a constant power supply to run it.
Question: Does the aux input work though your amp, or does the aux only feed through the headphone jack
Answer: Yes this has a line out which is in the back of the unit.
Question: Can this be used as a head amp
Answer: It’s direct from the input to the out and nothing, like the NuTube circuit, in between. Too bad too.

User questions & answers

Question: Why this combo is manufactured in china while the same combo shown on a youtube review is designed and assembled in the us ? what's the difference
Answer: Has to have a power amp somewhere...so it will not work directly into speaker. Headphones, yes.
Question: No master volume? Just gain control
Answer: Approx. 5-3/"8W x 5-5/18"L x 1-3/8"H
Question: How does this sound paired with an external 12” cabinet? Good enough for most jazz and moderately loud rock gigs
Answer: the Aux is a 3.5mm analog input for MP3 or other audio playback device. Signal is introduced after EQ and processing, prior to the Master Volume.
Question: How is the build quality? they seem like they would chip / dent easily. are they holding up ok for you users
Answer: No. It's not an amp. It's a pre amp w/ compression, overdrive vast array of tone selections. It has amp simulations for the 800RB, Fusion 550, MB 800, MB150 and bypass. (Bypass used when connecting to an amp w/ existing tone controls. Only the overdrive, compressor and tuner will be accessible in bypass mode.) You get the GK tone plugging straight into a PA, recording or practicing.

Gallien-Krueger Fusion S 800 800W Ultra Light Bass Head

Based on 1 reviews Check latest price

Product description

From Gallien Krueger: The Fusion S Series Heads are GK’s brand new Class D Model heads with a tube preamp. The rich warmth of tubes combined with the quick, punchy power section that GK bass amps are known for is an experience like no other. These high powered heads incorporate three 12ax7 tubes in the preamp, including one dedicated to the overdrive channel, making it GK’s first ever tube driven overdrive channel. Illuminated knobs add an extra level of sophistication and design by not only making it easier to dial in your tone on stage and but adding a beautiful stage presence as well. Each illuminated knob is also push activated, with additional voicing filters and tonal characteristics built in. Like the Legacy Series, the Fusion S series uses a unique interconnection system that eliminates problems that can develop over time from constant vibration and temperature extremes that gear is subjected to with heavy use. Using circuit boards with gold plated connectors, rather than cables with standard tin connectors, this type of construction delivers a more pure, reliable sound. Features include GK's classic 4 band EQ, tube Overdrive complete with tone shaping, additional push button voicing filters such as "Bump", "Contour", and "Presence", Balanced DI with Pre and Post EQ, an Effects Loop, Aux and Headphone connections, and Load capacity selection, to deliver optimum power into 2, 2.7, 4 and 8ohm cabinet configurations.

  • Tube Preamp with 12ax7s
  • Four band active EQ
  • Foot Switchable Tube Overdrive with Tone Control (Footswitch Included)
  • "Bump", "Contour", and "Presence" Push Button Voicing Filters
  • Balanced XLR Output with Pre and Post EQ

User questions & answers

Question: I want to buy a GK amp but not sure what speaker size would be best for me, 2X10 or a 12 or a
Answer: Nope. Once you set the gain properly, you control the volume from the guitar.
Question: How is the mb 210 for double bass
Answer: By it self, no external speaker, it’ll handle a jazz gig. I’ve done rock gigs with the basic unit itself. Even though I have an external speaker I’ve actually never used it
Question: does it run with most extension cabs
Answer: I have my amp in a flight case but it is very durable. It is a well built cabinet and honestly it is the best amp I've ever had for so much less $$$. I have had no chips or dents. Way better than my Ampeg which actually did have the tolex rip even though it was in a case as well. The GK is just this little unassuming high quality amplifier with huge sound that cuts through so nice. You won't regret buying it. I couldn't believe it.

User questions & answers

Question: can this power an a passive extension cab
Answer: It would depend somewhat on the type of bass and what pickups it had, but in general- it would be clean. It’s basically a volume knob. You won’t get a lot of breakup unless you really crank it, and by that point the speaker probably won’t sound so great. Btw, this the best small amp I’ve ever owned. Unless you just hate the sound of GK amps, buy with confidence.
Question: Does it works with a 220V connection
Answer: Both have headphone jacks. Get the G-K for 5 more watts. Get the Ampeg for 60 degree placement option.
Question: Hi. is this a mb110-ii
Answer: It depends on what is your meaning of cranked up. But it is a very loud amp.
Question: Is this power is RMS or PMPO because it does nt say anywhere
Answer: Its 100% made in the USA. Generation 1 was made in China. This is gen 2 wich is totally american.
