on your part.

GK Philosophy

I have never seen the point in doing
things the way others have done them. I
also have not been very interested in
following the latest fad. I’m a Stanford
educated engineer who worked my way
through school as a musician. Like all
musicians, I have lugged amplifiers up
stairways and into car trunks, always
wondering why these things had to be so
heavy, bulky, and hard to handle.
As the principal innovator at GK, our
products reflect my attitudes and life
experiences. I don’t model my designs
after other manufacturers’ products.
Instead, I believe new and old problems are
best solved with new solutions. Having taken
our own path, GK products enjoy a unique,
unmatched sound, allowing you every
opportunity to make an original statement.
Having supported my products for
over fifty years, I have learned from the story
they tell. Gallien-Krueger is a reflection of
that story, and has a commitment to support
that legacy. Just as the products I created
over fifty years ago are still telling their
story, the products we create today will be
talking to us tomorrow.

We’ll be listening,

Robert Gallien
Founder and President
