Genzler Amplification Club

I have used a 1x12 or a 1x15 in arena size gigs. 8000 + people to 12,000. More than once.
I was playing pop.. I also have IEMs.
I also find that I have to play MUCH louder in bar gigs than i do on arena size stages where i have more physical distance between myself and other instruments and create my own mix thru a fantastic monitor mixer.

Depending on the gig and your technique. , not much is needed these days. . If technique is lacking you may need more. Other parameters may change the needs too.

Bar gigs will have me run my 410-3 and MG800 fairly loud. Where as a pop gig in Utah last moth to a crowd of 6000 i ran it 1/2 as loud onstage

Honestly, I just find it hard to believe that the 350 with the 10-3 can be used for anything other than a practice rig.

I'd like to to try one of these rigs to get a full understanding/experience, because it's just unbelievable!

I’ve used just the 350 and 1 of the 10-2 arrays at several smaller churches I travel to using full band including drums and it keeps up. I have no problems hearing myself and even walked out into audience with wireless and it cuts through effortlessly. There is nothing thin about it at all. Now saying that it’s so light I always normal take the whole rig as I can pack it all in 1 trip. Both together is amazing.

Right. It's a nice full sound - even my Roscoe B string. I love that I can grab it with one hand. I'm not saying it'll keep up in all situations, no one is, but for what I do, this is all I need. Is it as "full" as a pair of 12's or a 4x10? Will you feel it in your chest? Of course not. I don't think anyone is claiming that. But I don't need that kind of size/volume for these jazz/pit type gigs that I'm doing.

I will say, I was surprised last year at a gig where we were pretty loud. Drummer used sticks (not rods) and guitar had a loud amp. Keys used in the house system as he didn't have an amp to use as he usually uses FOH and IEM's. The stage was hollow so I took advantage of some coupling and that little amp filled the room. It's crazy.

Looking for some advice. I have a line on a good deal for a Magellan 112T. I'm looking to use this for a grab and go setup. Will the Magellan 350 have enough oomph to drive this 8ohm cab or should I look for something with a bit more power? Hoping to keep up with a "controlled" drummer, e-guitar and singer for practices.

My current rig is an Eden WT-400 into a D-115T. I love the tone but I'm looking for a smaller and lighter setup.

Thanks,

Well, if you review the previous pages in this thread you should find the answer to your question.

Just from my point of view, we do have many players using the MG-350 amp with an efficient 8 ohm cab for gigs. The MG-112T is a smaller/lighter and efficient cab and would fit that bill for your needs. I'm sure others may come along and express their opinions. I would say that the MG 112T cab would give you a bigger tonal footprint (bigger spkr, bigger cab) than the smaller BA10-2 cab that many are commenting about here, so you have that to consider as well.

I so want a slant, but a store had a sale I couldn't pass up, a 2018 12-3 straight for 640-ish shipped. Slants just don't show up used, maybe next year....

Can't go wrong there! Folks were raving about a double BA12-3 stack before the SLT's came out. Just as I went to pull the trigger Jeff give me the heads up on the SLT and I was first in Canada to sport one. At the price you got I would gladly pull the trigger. Congrats.

Yeah thanks, the store was "rotating floor displays" or something like that. Guess they just wanted to clear it out. All my Genzler stuff is used, all of it and in really good shape. My 350 combo bag came in last week from eBay, got a great price there too, etc. Just need a cover for the latest cabinet and things will be "covered"...

So, in my search for deals I've noticed three types of straights, the latest with a top handle, one with a side handle and a third with a side handle and an offset rear "connection" panel where all others had them centered. What years do these represent? Top handle is 2019 or 2018?
