PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

– The 

MAGELLAN

 800

 represents the latest generation in lightweight, high-output, versatile 

bass amplification.  With our years of research, design and manufacturing expertise, we developed this model utilizing 
stringent design parameters for form, function, fit and finish.  The result is an 800 watt professional high-powered tour-
class bass guitar amplifier weighing only 6.25 lbs!   
 
Our circuitry and mechanical designs within the 

MAGELLAN

 800

 deliver the most powerful, feature-laden, compact 

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 
loop, balanced direct out with ground lift/pre-post/mic-line switches, head phone output, and 2 Neutrik NL-4 “Speak-On”™ 
speaker jacks. 
 
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.
