History of Gallien-Krueger

Founded in 1968 by Robert Gallien and Richard Krueger, the company found its feet with an early guitar amplifier design, built by Robert Gallien himself. Taking this early prototype to a local music store, Gallien was praised for his forward-thinking approach to its construction, and even a young Carlos Santana caught on. Eventually using this amp at Woodstock, the rest is history - as they say!

Later focusing on bass amplifiers exclusively, Gallien-Krueger not only popularised the solid-state bass amplifier, but also spearheaded other designs that have been since adopted by many of the company’s contemporaries.

For example, in 1981 Gallien-Krueger released the GK 200RB, the first rack-mountable instrument amplifier ever made. Setting the trend for much of the 80s, two years later the GK 250ML was launched, a 100W stereo amp and effects unit that fit in an ultra-portable  “lunchbox” enclosure. With most bass amp heads built to this format today, Gallien-Krueger truly set the standard.
