“The new MAGELLAN® 800+… We’ve Upgraded a Legend!!” Jeff Genzler

After 10 years in service, GENZLER® AMPLIFICATION is proud to introduce the next generation of this 800-watt professional, tour-class bass guitar amplifier — the new MAGELLAN® 800+.   Carrying forward the legacy of night-after-night reliability, the new MAGELLAN® 800+ reaches even higher achievements in performance with several new features, improved preamp circuitry, an expanded EQ network, and all within the same rugged chassis and stringent design and build expertise we are known to achieve. 

 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® AMPLIFICATION design team – innovation, performance, reliability and versatility.  

The MG-800+® is a solid-state, all analog design and provides a simple, musical interface, and 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 MAGELLAN® 800+ is equipped with an expanded list of features: 

  • Updated input circuitry for increased dynamics
  • All new DRIVE circuitry delivering a wide range of tube-like harmonics and compression — and foot switchable
  • New HPF (High Pass Filter) — multi-slope, frequency-dependent and adjustable between 25-120Hz
  • Our unique Dual Contour Circuit—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 —- DRIVE & CONTOUR functions
  • Light weight @ 6.25 Lbs

The MAGELLAN® 800+ is the latest innovative product from GENZLER® AMPLIFICATION, known for unique and highly valued bass amplifiers and speaker systems.   This newest design is a dramatic departure from GENZLER® AMPLIFICATION’S current lineup of popular bass heads, the Kinetix® 800 and MAGELLAN® 350.  All GENZLER bass heads are an ideal match to their line of speaker enclosures, like the BASS ARRAY® SERIES 2, NU CLASSIC® and new MAGELLAN® ULV series of bass cabinets.

The MAGELLAN® 800+  is now available and shipping throughout the company’s global network of dealers as well as online.       

USA MAP  $1,199.99.
