Gallien Krueger Fusion 550 hybrid amp - now £535 (pending) - *SOLD* £585 High Wycombe

Amazing sounding amp, but I'm going all in on my Darkglass Anagram, so it's silly having 4 amps laying around. Comes in a nice Gator rack bag, and with original footswitch.

 

In very good condition and all working as it should. I'd rather not post due to the tubes, but would pack as securely as possible if you wanted to arrange a courier. Also happy to meet up within reasonable distance of High Wycombe, Bucks.

 

The Fusion 550 incorporates a unique six stage tube preamp paired with the same high current analog power amp utilized in our RB Series. 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. In addition, GK takes the next step in innovation by adding motorized controls which allow you to store two different settings that can be recalled via the provided footswitch

It’s 500 watts @ 4 Ohms with a 50watt Biamp 

Pre amp three tube 12AX7.

Class G Amplification:

This type of amplifier uses multiple power supply rails, switching between them based on the signal level to improve efficiency compared to a Class AB amp, while still offering good sound quality. 

Tube Preamp:

The Fusion 550's preamp section uses vacuum tubes (specifically three 12AX7s) to shape the initial audio signal, contributing to the amp's warm and tube-driven tone. 

Hybrid Design:

The combination of a tube preamp and a solid-state power amp is a hybrid approach, often found in bass amplifiers, providing a blend of warmth and power.

My favourite GK of all. They’re magic. My regular gigging amp and this is an absolute bargain with the switch and (extremely tough but light) Gator rack bag. 

This needs a good home and taking out for regular gigs.

@Berserker is a top bloke to deal with too. You can’t go wrong. GLWTS.

This one is way under rated. Got mine earlier last year and become my main.

I have one of these and can testify that they are great amps. GLWTS

Absolutely fantastic amps. Wanted one for years after playing through one at a multi band line up gig years ago, but they always came up at the wrong time. When I did finally get my hands on one, it was even better than I remembered. Glwts

If anyone is sitting on the fence about this, I can say that it's the best amp I've ever used. I regularly gig mine as you can see in that thread. I picked mine up from the Amp Hospital yesterday after a repair to some damage caused by someone else's abuse/idiocy and one of the leading amp techs of all time (IYKYK) told me how good an amp it is and how beautifully designed and made it is. 

They're very very good with "ordinary" basses but with Spectors they absolutely kick @$$ and take names. 

 

Also, yer man @Berserker is a absolute gent and top basschatter.
