GK BACKLINE 600 REVIEW MANUAL

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.
