    Cab weight

    Yes they are! I have a pair of them and a ULV210 which only weighs 25 pounds. For my needs they are the ideal intersection of great sound, sturdy construction, quality, and portability. The small footprint makes them perfect for small stages, and they are backed by top tier customer service...

    Genzler Amplification Club

    I played a gig last Saturday night at an indoor restaurant with my MG800+ through my ULV-210T. The stage is hollow wood and ripe for boom. I used a Gramma pad and set the HPF at about 10 o'clock, and the rig performed admirably. A member of the audience came up to me after the gig. He said he is...

    Genzler ULV 212 Cab

    I've been gigging with either a pair of ULV 112s, a ULV 112/210 combo, or a single ULV 210, driven by the MG800+. I've been choosing the single ULV 210 lately since it sounds great, is light weight, covers my needs, and is a single cab solution. I'm curious about the ULV 212 but I'm pretty sure...

    Just a heads up...GC/MF has offered the R25 and R500 in ivory, and I saw on GC's web site that they now offer the R100 in ivory, and they're on sale. I have the R25 in ivory; they're sharp-looking combos...

    I used the MG800+ into the ULV210 Friday and Saturday evenings in two different outdoor restaurants with no PA support. This cabinet is very capable. I used Contour A at about 9 o'clock for a bit of beef (the cab has plenty of beef on its own, but I wanted a little more since we were outdoors)...

    '62 Geddy signature Jazz bass coming.

    Perhaps the most reasonable post I've read on this topic. Thank you.

    Never-ending Journey…Replacing my SVT + 810 and Streamliner 900 + 410 Uber — help me find the best lightweight rig for reggae and ska

    I would choose the Genzler MG800+ (or maybe the Kinetix) with a pair of BA115 cabs. This rig would be thunderous and versatile.

    The overwhelming task of picking the right rig...

    You're definitely on the right track with Genzler. The Kinetix fits the bill for what you're looking for, but the MG800 can also do the job. The MG800 native voicing is thick and clear, but you can get a great vintage vibe by adding harmonics with the drive channel and using Contour "B". Of...

    Hi Erik, I used one or a pair of MG112T-V's for a number of years. I now have a pair of ULV-112T's (and a ULV-210T) that I've used on 5 or 6 gigs so far. I did not have them at the same time, so I couldn't do a direct comparison, but I would say the MG112T-V and ULV112-T are very similar in tone...

    Hi Rich, Perhaps you could describe the type of sound you're looking for. For example, if you're looking for a clear, pristine sound to let the sound of your Alembics shine, I'd recommend the MG800+ and the Bass Array cabs (of course this rig can also do many other sounds as well). I'll be...

    I had a chance this past Sunday to try out the standalone ULV210, powered by my MG800+. The venue was a smallish restaurant/bar with about 50 to 75 folks in attendance. Guitars, electronic drums and vocals went through the PA, and my Genzler rig carried the room in spades, with plenty of...

    I had the opportunity to use my new Genzler rig at an outdoor area BBQ restaurant located at a marina on the Mississippi River. I used a passive Fender Jazz bass into the MG800+ with a ULV210 and ULV112. The two guitars, electronic drums, and the vocals go through the PA but I do not, so the...

    Please share your cabinet pairings with your Mesa/Boogie Subway D-800+ ???

    If you want light weight, great sound, excellent quality, and stellar customer service try the new Genzler ULV (Ultra Light Vertical) cabs. The 112 is 19.5 pounds and the 210 is 25 pounds. The vertical orientation gets the sound closer to your ears, and the small footprint is great for small...

    The cover for my ULV-210T has arrived so I'll be taking it out for the first time tomorrow afternoon. The venue is a large outdoor covered area of a BBQ restaurant. At this point I'm thinking of using the MG800+ into the ULV210 and one ULV112, with the 210 on top. Looking forward to it, and I'll...
