bass amplifier available. This is exactly what players have come to expect from the GENZLER™ design team --
performance, versatility and reliability. From natural, pristine, transparent reproduction of the bass instrument to classic,
vintage harmonic textures with "weighted feel to the notes", the MG-800 provides the tonal pallet needed to cover all of
the bassist's amplifier requirements. All of which is housed in an aircraft-grade, brushed aluminum chassis with a sleek
custom extruded front panel.
The MAGELLAN
800 is equipped with a ¼" unbalanced instrument input, preamp stage clip detector, mute switch, input
™
pad switch, CLEAN and DRIVE preamps, dual curve CONTOUR network, 3 band active equalization with sweepable
midrange frequency, master volume control, soft-clip power management circuitry, ¼" tuner output, aux. input, effects

The power amp is a robust, lightweight Class D design and is supported by a state-of-the-art high frequency switch-mode
power supply (SMPS), which does away with the weight of a traditional power transformer. The MAGELLAN'S
power
™
supply is an auto-sensing universal power supply usable from 100-240 volts, lending itself very well to international touring
players.

In either CURVE position when the SHAPE control is all the way off (CCW) the response curves are completely FLAT. Curve A (Blue) Provides 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.
