Gallien-Krueger Fusion 800S

Fusion 800S
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.
To get the best match between your instrument and the Legacy Gallien-Krueger have included an adjustable input trim control. When this is adjusted so the clip light only flashes occasionally you have the perfect setup for your instrument.
Gallien-Krueger have avoided putting a sound effect into the amplifier that may be out of style next year. Instead they use two tube stages set up like the input stage of a tube power amp. So when it is hit hard you get a breakup similar to a tube power amp. We have added body and edge controls to help you shape the sound to your situation.
Legacy heads come with a complete patch bay. The balanced DI has selectable Pre/Post and ground lift switches. Phones and Aux In are 1/8” jacks to accommodate the most common jacks used for these features. Tuner, Footswitch, Send and Return are all ¼” to better accommodate these connections. The included Footswitch turns the Overdrive Chanel on and off.
Specs
Power and Ohm

- Minimum Load Impedance
- 2Ω
Controls
- Trim/Voice
- Adjusts the level of signal from the 1/4” input. The knob indicator flashes red when the incoming signal exceeds the input circuit’s capability. Pressing the knob engages/disengages additional EQ pre shaping to re-voice the amplifier. The knob indicator is lit blue when this additional voice is active
- Normal/On
- Adjusts the volume level of the Normal channel. Pressing this knob engages the Normal channel. The knob indicator is lit blue when the Normal channel is active.
- Overdrive/On
- Adjusts the amount of overdrive when the Overdrive channel is active. Pushing this knob engages the Overdrive circuit. When Overdrive is active this knob indicator as well as Edge/Cut and Level/Body knob indicators are illuminated
- Edge/Cut
- Adjusts the high frequency response of the Drive circuit. Pushing this knob engages/disengages the Cut function to reduce frequencies above 5kHz. The knob indicator changes from white to blue when Cut is engaged
- Level/Body
- Adjusts the output level when Overdrive is active. Pushing the knob engages/disengages the Body function that adds low frequency enhancement post distortion when Overdrive is active. The knob indicator changes from white to blue when Body is engaged.
Eq
- Bass/Bump
- Boosts or cuts bass frequencies. Pressing the knob engages/disengages the Bump feature which applies additional low frequency enhancement. The knob indicator changes from white to blue when Bump is active
- Lo-Mid/Cont
- Boosts or cuts low-mid frequencies. Pressing the knob activates the Contour feature to reduce mid frequencies while simultaneously boosting low and high frequencies. The knob indicator changes from white to blue when Contour is engaged
- Hi-Mid/Hicut
- Boosts or cuts hi-mid frequencies. Pressing the knob activates the Hicut feature that reduces high frequencies to remove unwanted clicking and string noise. The knob indicator changes from white to blue when Hicut is engaged
- Treble/Pres
- Boosts or cuts treble frequencies. Pressing the knob activates the Presence feature which applies high frequency enhancement. The knob indicator is lit blue when Presence is engaged
- Master/Mute
- Adjusts the main output volume of the speaker and headphone output. Pressing the knob mutes the output from the speaker, headphone and direct output.
