Ultra-light, Tube-powered Bass Amp Head with Monster Tone
The Gallien-Kreuger Fusion 800S is an 800-watt compact, ultra-light bass amp head with a Class D power amp and an all-tube preamp with tube-powered overdrive. Vintage-voiced with modern punch and clarity, the Fusion 800S, can roll with any genre, churning out crisp and articulate clean tones, big-bottom low end, and gritty distortion that'll knock the house down. With its small form factor, ultra-light construction, and robust interconnection system, it's built for the touring bassist. Additionally, a fully stacked feature set, including illuminated knobs, effects loop, and balanced DI, makes the Fusion 800S one of the most versatile heads of its size bassists at Sweetwater have ever seen.

Vintage-voice with a modern punch
The Fusion S series pairs GK's signature punchy power section with a characterful tube preamp for a warm, vintage-style sound with modern punch and heft. The preamp is packed with three 12AX7s, with one dedicated to the overdrive channel, for the kind of growling distortion you can only get from overloading a tube. Sculpt your tone to fit any genre with GK's classic 4-band active EQ and push-button voicing filters, including "Bump," "Contour," and "Presence," for on-the-fly adjustments. Onstage or in the studio, the Fusion 800S is a tonal chameleon perfect for any performance style.
Built to take a beating
Chucked in vans, tossed in trunks, and dragged from show to show, bass amp heads take a lot of abuse, and, over time, the electronics can start to suffer. This means your tone starts to suffer, too, and that is simply not acceptable! The Fusion 800S is fortified to handle even the heaviest use. Boasting the same robust interconnection system found in GK's Legacy series bass amp heads, Fusion S series heads employ gold connectors on their circuit boards, which deliver a more reliable and purer tone than the standard tin connectors found in other heads.
Jammed with features bassists love
GK loaded up the Fusion 800S with a host of features designed with working bassists in mind. Illuminated knobs to adjust your tone on dimly lit stages without squinting into the dark. Mono 1/4-inch Send/Return for patching in your favorite external effects units. Impedance selector to ensure your 2, 2.7, 4, or 8-ohm cabinet receives the optimal load. Balanced DI output with pre- and post EQ for patching into a live-sound board or recording console. And it's all housed in a rugged metal enclosure to withstand those aforementioned vans and trunks!
