They've taken everything good from the old LM3 and sorted out the EQ centre points to make them much more in line what most bass players would be looking for and remove some of the previous gaping EQ 'holes'. Can't quite work out what, if any, the significant differences between the Little Marcus 800 and the newer Marcus Limited 800 amps are!

Instead of the Old School / Millerizer controls. My 800 should arrive late next week. I could have got it quicker from elsewhere but I had Andertons points to spend too.

Thunderpaws Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Just watched the longer of the GK YouTube videos for these. I want one! And not because of GAS either, more that I think it would sit very well with my band in terms of tone and adjustability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish a few other companies would take note, rather than have some numb-skulled herbert slapping the crap out of a bass in attempt to demonstrate the "flexibility" of an amp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'd like to hear the amp with a P bass too. Just for curiosity really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t slap (mainly because I’m no good at it) and many tube videos seem to be all about the slap. That video shows a few usable tones. The drive seems pretty spot on.

I found some pics of "New Fusion" heads and they look just like the Legacy models. Just found a video (see below) from Namm 19 which suggests there IS a difference and a new line of Fusion heads will be released later this year. Which realistically means 2020 for us I guess Dangerous. Loved the demo video of the Legacy but wonder if I’d prefer the FusionS. I certainly preferred the MB Fusion over the MB500. Eek. Trouble this way comes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 I had a limited chance to demo the new Legacy head at the Gtr & Bass Show yesterday and it sounded great. Even with EQ flat it had clarity, depth, authority and dare I say it 'heft'. Engaging the drive channel really added a nice grit boost and it certainly felt like it had 'authority'. Once I've had a chance to give it a proper go in a quieter environment I just may purchase one (prob the 800)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot because whatever class of power amp or topology is used, the power supply has a great influence on performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetera Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Managed to get half hour on the Legacy 800 again on Saturday (courtesy of a reviewer friend) and it certainly seems the biz! Loved the sound flat (which I almost never do!) and a little drive on..... once I added/took away EQ it came alive with so much EQ power I felt irresponsible turning the knobs! lol! I can certainly see one of these in my purchasing future..... VERY soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Since getting my Helix Stomp my fav amp sim has been the GK800. Ive never played the real thing, but ironically I’m playing my Stomp through the power stage of my GK MB800. Very, very interested to see, or hear, how different the new heads sound to my MB800. I was going to potentially look at maybe getting a Darkglass head, but GK seems to be intertwined in my live sound already, so........

tvickey Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I had ordered a GK Legacy 800 with Anderton's, and was expecting to receive it on / around Oct. 10th, but then received an email from Anderton's that the delivery has been moved to Autumn 2020(!). Anyone know what happened? Is there a design flaw in the circuit that needs to be fixed? This seems like an unusually long delay for a supply issue.

fretmeister Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Blimey. Glad I didn’t order one then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Can’t be a design flaw - loads on TB have them already. Can’t see any complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvickey Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I wrote to Polar directly (distributor for GK in the UK) to ask about the delay, and they replied: "We’re due to be shipped all of our Legacy stock at the end of this month, which means they should be with the shops by early Nov. Keep your eye on that availability, it should update shortly." So perhaps another month or so on the Legacy heads here in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Yep. Polar are due to get them 30th October. Hopeful of receiving mine within days of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Andertons now showing January 2020. I want to try one but I'm not buying blind this time. I really want to see if the drive circuit is the fight flavour for me. And I'm really loving my Marcus Limited at the moment anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvickey Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Andertons has these in stock now... mine arrived on Monday (Legacy 800). I'm headed to the rehearsal space this evening to throttle it up... I have two GK 410 RBH cabinets that I can plug into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
