Details

EDIT 2/11/21: back for sale!
After having spent an entire weekend with this amp, I was able to dial in my sound and the best part (IMO) was actually hearing my Spector through this. This is a really good transparent amplifier. That being said, I just want the bells and whistles of the new Darkglass Microtubes 500 V2. So this sale will go to funding that!

Up for grabs is a Genzler Magellan 800 head that I recently got here. It was an impulse buy and I quickly realized I should have gotten a Darkglass instead. Some cosmetic nicks on the top panel (check photos) but nothing that affects the performance.
Includes power cord and manual. No bag included.

Edit 2/10/21: $650 comes with free FedEx shipping to your CONUS address. I can also ship outside the CONUS, but within US territories only. Unfortunately I don’t have time to ship across international borders.

Thanks for looking!

Alembics and parametric mid knobs scare me.

why did you quickly decide you should have bought the Darkglass amp?
I wanted dirt and cab sims on the fly. And I was choosing between the (brand new) DG and this (used) one in the first place. At the time I thought it was a sound financial decision.

gotcha. So it wasn't that the genzler didn't sound good, just didn't have the features you were looking for?

Hi There

if you don’t mind me asking.

What cab are you running this amp through?
What bass are you currently using?

I ran this head through my Aguilar SL 410x cab and db cabs.
Also Bergantino CN210, NV112T cabs and it sounded really great.
Sounded so good i just bought a brand new one.

GLWS and the Darkglass purchase.

Makes sense. The OD on this in great, but it doesn't have those DG features. I find these heada do grind better with ferrite drivers, or at least they do with mine.

Yeah it sounds excellent. The YouTube reviews will tell you too. Just not what I was looking for. Maybe if I still had my Fenders this would stay.

Thanks man. To be honest, 99% of the time I play with headphones on. With a baby in the house I can’t find time to play loud noises. So I invested in a really good open-back pair of headphone monitors.
I was going to use this for a project that still hasn’t come to fruition. If it doesn’t sell and my Darkglass GAS fades, I’ll keep this. Thanks for the cab suggestions too!

I don’t own fenders and probably never will being honest. I’m wondering how it will push my dingwalls with Darkglass pedals and Darkglass 212. The Darkglass amps on paper seem the obvious choice but many a player has other opinions and this amp was one of them so it’s on my radar.

It’s back on sale. Nate Navarro demo’d this with a Darkglass Microtubes X and it sounded killer. The best thing about the Magellan is the clarity and the transparency.
