The exceptional Paragon speaker is also available in a full line of speaker cabinets from Gallien-Krueger. The 100 watt Paragon 12'' guitar speaker will keep its cool when you push it, and deliver a sound with all the warmth and tone you expect from GallienKrueger. That is the only fitting description for the speaker GallienKrueger designed for the BackLine 100. The dictionary defines Paragon as a model of perfection. You don't have to worry about an accidental short blowing your gig. When the short is removed, the amp is ready to go again. In addition, the new power amp will integrate the output current to zero in the event of an output short. Bob has perfected a constant current amplifier that interacts with the speaker to produce the low end 'thump' and high end brilliance needed to put your guitar sound out front. Twenty-five years of continuous improvement are also apparent in the BackLine 100 power amp. So whether you are recording, using headphones, using a small speaker or a stack, you will always have that big sound. Now it is a selectable feature on the BackLine 100. Originally it was designed to make the 250ML sound big, even through its dual 6'' speakers.

VCV (Vintage Cabinet Voicing) has been a part of Gallien-Krueger amps for over ten years.

Add three channel operation, through the Lead 1/Lead 2 feature, and you get an amp that gives you anything you want, from clean, to crunch, to lead, and it will do it with virtually any guitar, and any speaker system. Input Shape, separate equalizers (with shift) for each channel, presence, and VCV filteringĬombine to make the BackLine a sound monster. Integrated with GIVE are a host of intelligent features developed by Gallien-Krueger engineers that make the BackLine an ideal amp for the nineties. The result is a punchy, warm clean sound, and a hot, out-front lead sound that gets the most out of your playing. This design provides the smooth overdrive and even harmonic distortion characteristics common to vintage tube amplification without the hassles and expense of tube failures. The BackLine 100 has been developed around the latest and most comprehensive use of what we now call GIVE TECHNOLOGY. Each design since then has yielded new discoveries and improvements in the sound. Beginning in the '60s, while still an engineering student at Stanford, Bob began using field effect devices in the critical signal path areas of his amplifier designs. GIVE (Gate Induced Valve Effect) is the culmination of Bob Gallien's twenty-five year pursuit - to optimize the superior qualities inherent in field effect devices for audio applications. Following in that tradition, the BackLine 100 combines time-honored features such as 3-spring reverb and passive equalization with GallienKrueger developments like GIVE technology, channel switching, and VCV recording compensation, to achieve a perfect blend of vintage and modern technologies. It was the beginning of a long line of top quality guitar amplifiers whose reputation still holds strong today. Over 20 years ago, Bob Gallien's first product, the 226A Guitar Amplifier was on the backline at Woodstock.
