Product Specifications
Genzler MG800 Magellan 800 Bass Guitar Head Specifications
Preamp: Dual channel, all solid-state analog design with integrated soft clip circuitry.
Input: 1Meg ohm input impedance
Input pad switch: Attenuation of -8.5dB
Clean Channel Overview: Voiced to provide natural, pristine, transparent reproduction of the bass instrument.
Drive Channel Overview: Voiced to provide a more “driven” tonal signature and harmonic content along with a softer top end and more relaxed low frequency response.
Contour: Continuously variable control of 2 vastly different response curves. In either CURVE position, when the SHAPE control is all the way off (CCW) the response curve is completely FLAT.
Curve A (Blue): A variable pre-shaped curve that boosts lows and highs while simultaneously cutting mids. The slopes are fairly gentle which keep the tone shaping very musical. This curve covers a wide range of sounds from flat to classic to modern depending on the position of the SHAPE control.
Curve B (Amber): A variable pre-shaped curve with attenuated high mids and highs, a low mid bump, and a slight roll-off of the lowest bass frequencies. Again, the slopes are fairly gentle which keep the tone shaping very musical. This curve is intended to provide sounds in the range of vintage amps and vintage cabinets that do not have tweeters.
Active Equalization: The MAGELLAN 800 contains an active 3 band equalizer with a sweepable parametric mid-range frequency control.
Bass: +/- 15dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 75Hz
Mid: +/- 15dB boost/cut of the variable mid frequency selected
Freq: Variable mid frequency from 150Hz-3kHz
Treble: +/- 15dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 6kHz
Power Amp: The MAGELLAN 800 uses a state of the art, class D power amplifier design and a high frequency auto-sensing universal switch-mode power supply (SMPS) to achieve unprecedented high performance and lightweight packaging. There are no Voltage Switches to change or jumpers to move. This SMPS senses the line voltage from 100-240 Volts and automatically configures itself.

Minimum Speaker Load: 2.67 Ohms
Operating Power condition: 100 – 240V, 50/60 Hz

Awesome amp!
This lightweight Genzler Magellan 800 amp is awesome! My bass has never sounded better! I use it with a Genzler BA153SLT cabinet. It's a great combination. I'm thinking of adding a Genzler 10" or 12" cabinet to complete my rig!

Killer Tone!
Have used a TH500, Reidmar 750, and Mesa Subway on various gigs, yet the Magellan 800 has been the BEST sounding out of all. Solid build, and looks great too. When doing sub work for different artists, it's imperative to have a solid base tone to work with, plus the ability to dial in various tones ...

This One Is A Keeper!
Jeff Genzler got this one right. The Magellan 800 is an excellent and worthy Class-D amp. This is my new and permanent workhorse. I originally came from an Aguilar Tonehammer 500. Found that it's tone was flat, missing something and uninspiring. It basically stole valuable needed tone elements. LIKE...
