Description The MAGELLAN® 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. This is exactly what players have come to expect from the GENZLER® design team – innovation, performance, reliability and versatility. The MG-800 ® provides the tonal palette needed to cover all the bassist’s amplifier requirements: from natural, pristine, transparent reproduction of the bass instrument to classic, vintage harmonic textures and dynamic — with “weighted feel to the notes”. All of this encased in the same classic styling of an all-aluminum chassis, weighing only 6.25 lbs. The MAGELLAN® 800 is equipped with an expanded list of features: Updated input circuitry for enhanced instrument loading Foot-switchable DRIVE circuitry Variable HPF (High Pass Filter) Dual Contour Circuit — Foot-switchable and separately adjustable 4 Band Active EQ w/two sweepable midrange frequencies Highest-grade op-amps through-out for lower noise and higher dynamic headroom Continuing the tradition of the original MAGELLAN® amplifier design, the MAGALLAN® 800 represents a new pinnacle in lightweight, high-output, versatile, bass amplification. Our years of research, design and manufacturing expertise, along with listening to players’ needs, has helped us to develop this model utilizing stringent design parameters for performance, form, function, fit and finish. The new MG-800 continues the reputation of the original design as a simple interface for the user and one of the most musical amplifiers available. The MG-800 is a solid-state, all analog design and provides the tonal palette needed to cover all of the bassist’s amplifier requirements; from natural, pristine, transparent reproduction of the bass instrument to classic, vintage harmonic textures with “weighted feel to the notes”. This is packaged within the classic Magellan styling and all-aluminum chassis, weighing only 6.25 lbs. The expanded feature set and output power level make this amplifier an essential tool on the global stage, and with its universal power supply, the MAGELLAN® 800 can be used with any voltage around the world without modification.
