Genzler’s bass knob is a ±15dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 75Hz — slightly above the average frequency. The result is dastardly clear low–end response. The Magellan excels with its mid–frequency selector—a variable knob from 150Hz–3kHz—that’s depth controlled by the mid knob, which applies/cuts up to 15dB. The treble knob is a shelving curve with a corner frequency of 6kHz, providing players with glassy harmonics that don’t end up sounding sterile or tinny.

Reasonable new and a steal used, The Magellan 350 is a must–try portable amp head. Simply put, this three–and–a–half pound behemoth has tone for days without slouching on its power rating.
