Item Description
Listed 2 years ago
GALLIEN-KRUEGER 250ML Series II Amplifier. This amazing amp is by far the most powerful lunchbox amp ever. If you're looking at these then you know what they are. I have had this amp for about ten years and she has not seen much use and has been stored at home. I have never gigged with this amp and it was only used in my smoke free home studio. Complete with power cord, this amp operates perfectly and shows signs of use for it's age, however every feature works and an original Gallien-Krueger foot switch with stereo TRS cable included for channel switching and effects. This truly is a great amp to play as is, or uses it as a 100 watt head in a stack. Has remarkably good tone. Lately as I age, I play less, so I offer it here.
This amp will easily power (2) 4 x 12" cabinets. It is 50 watts x 2 (100 watts stereo). It is switchable from 8 to 16 ohms.
Some info for those who have not experienced this monster yet.......
With the stereo effects. (Echo & Chorus),
the pre-set gain switches, the channel switching and companding on the clean channel there are over 20 different sounds available.
The active four band equalizer (shared by both channels) works extremely well in both the clean and overdriven modes. You can actually EQ your overdriven sound, a rare feature in its own right.
Input with 2 channels - A & B, separate volume controls for each.
"A" has COMP & GAIN - "B" has GAIN
Stereo ECHO & CHORUS Effects to be used with either channel
4-knob EQ controls + phones and foot switch input jacks
On the rear: Aux in / stereo out, send / return for effects loop, direct out, and stereo left / right external speaker jacks and a switch to turn off internal speakers.
4 Band EQ
1. The first knob from the left is an active treble control operating at 8.0 kilohertz. It adds high-end and brightness to your sound.
2. The second knob is an active high mid-range control operating at 2.0 kilohertz. This control adds punch to your sound.
3. The third knob is an active low mid-range control operating at 500hertz. This control adds to the meat or body of your sound.
4. The last EQ knob is an active bass control operating at 120 hertz. This controls the bottom end of your sound. The Boom!
Stereo Effects
The next two switches make up the stereo effects section. The first one being the pre-set stereo Echo. This effect acts like an electronic reverb but using an IC chip as opposed to a spring unit to produce a full stereo reverberation.
The second switch is a pre-set stereo Chorus effect. This effect, also using a high technology IC chip, gives a full stereo enhancement of your sound in total stereo voicing.
Channel A offers a fully produced clean sound for rhythm work or for clean lead applications. This channel can be used for anything from
cool jazz to smokin' blues.
Compander on/off
The compander on the clean channel is a pre-set effect that levels out the signal. It does this by cutting the initial signal and boosting the signal
as it decays; resulting in a clean sustain for a "bluesy" sound.
Gain on/off
The gain switch is also pre-set. With the switch on, the signal is given a boost which puts an edge on the sound without totally overdriving it. This effect used in conjunction with the compander sounds great for single note soloing and chord melodies.
Volume
This knob controls the total output for the clean channel A from off to
full power.
Channel B represents a warm solid state distortion. This channel, with no effects or gain on is the
backbone for the supreme rock sound.
Gain on/off
This switch is also a pre-set control. It gives the option of two gain levels, (as with channel A). With the gain in on channel B, the signal is boosted to a very high level producing on infinite sustain. Used with care, this effect can offer any squawk, scream or crunch needed for contemporary high-energy rock & roll.
Great, timeless, amp, that is built like a tank!
