A classic Gallien-Krueger tone, rebuilt for the modern player.
The GK Rig preset by Astra Audio is a fully self-contained, “all-in” HX Stomp bass rig modeled after the legendary Gallien-Krueger amplifiers, famous for their punchy mids, gritty tube-inspired drive, and unmistakable clarity in rock, pop, worship, and funk.
Whether you’re playing with a pick, fingers, or a modern active 5-string, this preset delivers that tight, aggressive GK character that cuts through any mix without harshness.
This is one of my personal go-to tones for live gigs, session work, and recording stems. It’s flexible, reliable, and mix-ready the moment you load it.
The middle footswitch lets you instantly toggle between:
Gritty, warm, mid-present, and iconic.
Perfect for live sets, rock lines, and anything that needs punch.
Turn the amp/cab off and get a super clean, controlled DI tone with a hint of compression.
Ideal for active basses.
This dual option makes the preset versatile enough for any bass, any venue, any genre.
Works equally well with:
Passive basses (P, J, vintage instruments)
Active modern basses (Sadowsky, StingRay, EMGs, 5-strings)
