Overall it's a versatile head so you shouldn't have problems getting a nice array of tones here. The overdrive on here is cool but it's not too heavy so if you like distortion a lot you'll probably need an external device.

It sounds great through this and I can only imagine that it would translate well when used with a speaker cabinet. I haven't actually used the amp with a speaker cabinet as I've only plugged it in direct into my Digi 002R audio interface for monitoring and recording purposes.

The Gallien Krueger Backline 600 is overall a really full sounding amplifier.

Even so, I don't think the manual is a necessity. In my opinion it's definitely a good amount to work with as you should have your hands pretty full with these controls. For starters it has a four band equalizer, along with some built in overdrive and further controls for counter, level, boost, and a master control. The make up of the Gallien Krueger Backline 600 is actually pretty easy to follow, but there's a lot of control possible here. It also has a direct XLR output which is a great feature on any bass amplifier as it allows you to get a direct signal from the head right into whatever you're recording with. It's a solid state amplifier and it has 1/4" connections for your input, an effects loop, a tuner out, and a foot switch. It's a pretty in depth head with a lot of controls and routing options for the recording and gigging bass player. The Gallien Krueger Backline 600 is a two channel, 300 watt each bass guitar amplifier head. If one day I can break it, for sure I ever did the same choice. The only small problem is that it is not distributed in France to my knowledge but I could be wrong. In short it is 300W, € 300 and built to last 300 years. Posted by it's all good, nothing to throw away.īefore purchasing this machine I tried the peavey amps, and Cort Acoustic but nothing at this price so good is the Backline 600 wins the game by finding more head amp of this power and quality for the price? Do not know. I like the least overdrive (which however I did buy) and the fact of not having input on the back of the amp. What I like with this material is its very Gallien Krueger although it is entry level, being able to put it in a rack, the relatively low for this type of amp and the possibilities of setting and the boost that gives the "growl" What may seem surprising with so few adjustments. It is only six months that I use and I still find new sounds. I do not put that 8 because the overdrive could have been a little more sought after but you do not ask too much for an amp of this price point. To be used sparingly, however, but the whole point of Gallien Krueger. The other feature of this amp is the boost that is the bass and treble and gives this side a big slap in the NOFX. You can also go for a walk in BOSS, there's plenty to do. It is better to use a good old SansAmp or an outright distortion pedal. The sound is too "electronic" for my taste and loses its color. We'll forget the overdrive channel that aroused so much interest for me some time ago when I discovered the apmli. I play with an Epiphone EB-3, a pedal distortion / overdrive PD-7 and a SansAmp pedal. This amp is designed to make the big sound, it would be almost indecent to even want to play anything but metal or punk rock. The manual is in English although it can not be clearer with examples of settings to find a nice sound. The config could not be easier, few settings and the ability to find a good clear sound quickly. Note also no entry in the back of the amp, which can be annoying.

Note that this amplifier can be rack mounted (good for transport and a possible RACKTUNER), but the option is not free (not far from 30 euros). Note a loop for a pedal or a multi-purpose and a switch (not supplied pedal damage !!!). See below), each with a volume and gain for the overdrive, an outline, a four-band equalizer, a set "boost" and a setting master.
