Continuing the tradition of the original MAGELLAN® amplifier design, the MAGELLAN 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 expanded feature set and high output power level makes 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.

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 MAGELLAN® 800+ reaches even higher achievements in performance with several new features, improved preamp circuitry, 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.
