Genzler Amplification Club

Personally I would rather go to Scotland and visit every
distillery for Single Malt tastings :hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper:drooldrooldrooldrool

Now you talking!!!
This is what I’ve been sipping on this weekend.

I finally figured out how to make this amp sound good to me.
EQ pretty flat except the treble is at 8:00, no overdrive channel, and the contour (with the blue light at about 1:00.
My mistake was not running the contour this high, and then trying to use EQ to get "there".
Plenty of punch and super quiet.
Ironically it sounds alot like my MBF800 and not that much at all like my old GK Shuttle 9.2.

Other than running the scoop contour at too high of a level, I haven’t found any sounds out of the MG800 I don’t like.
 
Jesus - that'd be massively powerful. The 800 blows the doors off every other amp I have owned... I can't imagine having MORE power.
yeah... I can't imagine what an amp more powerful than that would be needed for or what it would do to the player's ears...
Add 2.67 ohms - 3 8 ohm or an 8 ohm and a 4 ohm - of fairly efficient cabs to the 800 and if you need more than that... I don't know what to say

I can agree that the 800 is powerful, but does it satisfy the power hungry bassists? What about a MG1000 or MG1200!!! The BA410-3 is rated at 1000 watts. Why not a Genzler that makes it bounce off the floor?
And I say this with no useful electrical experience with bass amp/speaker building!!
