Gallien-Krueger clearly seen in the Woodstock movie. In the early 1970s Bob Gallien teamed up with fellow HP engineer Rich Krueger and the company was renamed from GMT (Gallien-Martin-Taylor) to Gallien-Krueger. Although Rich Krueger is no longer involved in the company it has retained his name. In 1983 Gallien-Krueger launched the bass amplifier that would define the future of the company,the 800RB. The GK sound is defined by a dry "growl" and a quick reaction from the class H power amplifier. The company stopped producing electric guitar amplifiers in the early 1990s but continues to make bass amplifiers and bass cabinets.
