Genzler Amplification Introduces Magellan 800+ Bass Amp

The 800+ delivers the most powerful, feature-laden, compact bass amplifier available in its class

Genzlerยฎ Amplification has introduced the next generation of the companyโ€™s 800-watt professional, tour-class bass guitar amplifier: the new Magellanยฎ 800+. 

Carrying forward the legacy of night-after-night reliability, the new Magellanยฎ 800+ delivers higher performance and several new features โ€“ including improved preamp circuitry, an expanded EQ network, and same rugged chassis and stringent design for which Genzler is well known.

The Magellanยฎ 800+ delivers the most powerful, feature-laden, compact bass amplifier available in its class. This new model offers improved dynamic response and feel; along with superior low-noise thresholds and increased dynamic headroom.

The MG-800+ยฎ is a solid-state, all analog design and provides a simple, musical interface, and the tonal palette needed to cover all of the bassistโ€™s amplifier requirements; from natural, pristine, transparent reproduction of the bass instrument to classic, vintage harmonic textures with โ€œweighted feel to the notesโ€. This is packaged within the classic Magellan styling and all-aluminum chassis, weighing only 6.25 lbs. 

The Magellanยฎ 800+ is equipped with an expanded list of features:

  • Updated input circuitry for increased dynamics
  • All-new foot switchable Drive circuitry delivering a wide range of tube-like harmonics
  • New HPF (High Pass Filter) multi-slope, frequency dependent and adjustable between 25-120Hz
  • Genzlerโ€™s unique Dual Contour Circuit โ€“ now foot switchable and separately adjustable
  • New 4 Band Active EQ with two Sweepable midrange frequencies
  • New high-grade op-amps for lower noise threshold and higher dynamic headroom, throughout the preamp
  • Optional dual function footswitch for Drive and Contour functions
  • Light weight @ 6.25 Lbs

The Magellanยฎ 800+ design is a dramatic departure from Genzlerยฎ Amplificationโ€™s current lineup of popular bass heads, the Kinetixยฎ 800 and Magellanยฎ 350. All Genzler bass heads are an ideal match to their line of speaker enclosures, like the Bass Arrayยฎ Series 2, Nu Classicยฎ and new Magellanยฎ ULV series of bass cabinets.

he Magellanยฎ 800+ amp carries a street price of $1,199.99
