They are equipped with Neodymium speakers made in GK's California factory, allowing players to pick the right performance and portability level. All Legacy combos have an 800 - watt switch - mode power amp, suitable for large stages and outdoor gigs. They also support universal power from 100 to 240 volts, making them great for local jams to major tours. Key features include four - band active EQ, universal power for 110V and 220V, foot - switchable overdrive with tone control, overdrive tone controls, voicing filters, balanced XLR output, a unique interconnection system, unbalanced 1/4” send and return, aux input, headphone output, circuit boards with gold - plated connectors, and Neodymium speakers from GK's factory.
Using your Gallien - Krueger Legacy 212 amplifier is a breeze. First, plug it into a power source within the 100 - 240 volt range. You can use it with a standard 110V or 220V outlet thanks to its universal power feature. Connect your bass guitar to the input. Adjust the four - band active EQ to get your desired sound. If you want some extra edge, use the foot - switchable overdrive with tone control. You can fine - tune the overdrive using the 'Drive', 'Level', and 'Edge' controls. For different sound effects, try the 'Bump', 'Contour', and 'Presence' voicing filters. You can connect external devices like effects pedals through the effects loop, or use the aux input to play along with other audio sources. The headphone output is great for private practice. When it comes to maintenance, keep the amplifier in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Check the connections periodically to make sure they are secure. If you're not using the amplifier for a long time, unplug it from the power source. Also, be gentle with the footswitch and other controls to prevent any damage.
