I used to love that amp. I think the Magellan sounds better and has more slam but, I’ll say it again, update the Magellan with 2 variable mids and a tube preamp.

The ShuttleMAX12 was a great amp. Lots of tonal options. I used to combine the Tube & FET channels with the FET as a clean bass tone and Tube as a high mid/treble tone with some tube breakup.Results were fantastic. The 3 contours were very useful as well.
But, I also agree that the Magellan 800 is my favorite amp!

I'll say it again, a Genzler preamp/pedal with all the above plus the drive channel?
First gig back in a while last night! Jumping on here to say what everybody already knows (once again).....the Genzler rig was on point! I really love the voicing of this amp and cab when it is set to flat with no contour. That’s always my starting point and then adjust from there. No need last night. I’ve been kicking around selling this MIM jazz with Suhr designed electronics but it sounded so good I think I might keep it. We also added a second guitarist so it added another sound layer to the mix. The Magellan didn’t even break a sweat. I’m no soloist but I do get up and down the neck on the instrument and to hear every note full and clear no matter where I’m playing and no matter what two guitars and drums are doing kept putting a smile on my face last night. I think we have our last show of the year in 3 weeks.....more Genzler fun on the way.

Yes agreed and Wishing the same to all as well.
You now have all of your most important appliances covered.
Congratulations to Payson Bass and @Blues Cat for being a Genzler dealer.
I am just a happy customer of his strings that just noticed when looking to order some that he has become a Genzler dealer.

Thanks for sharing the video! I own some Genzler gear (and I used Genz Benz amps for many years prior), but these videos are compelling me to go exclusive Genzler.
I have to tell you, Nathan's videos are impressive. He's very articulate, a superb player, and he demonstrates and describes the capabilities of the gear very well. And his playing three parts on Take Five in another Genzler video is cool.
Alright, now I just need to decide what to add next...

Very well said. I like that Nathan gets his floor lamp from Target and saves his $$ for Genzler gear!
NCD - my MG800 is now pushing a newly acquired GB Uber 410 in addition to the 210 I picked up a few months ago. Way too much power for my current tiny practice room but this is my planned outdoor gig rig when those come back. I'm thinking about a BA10-2/MG350 combo as the lightweight option - I'm keeping an eye on a few of those in the classifieds.

I rocked these cabs for years! The Uber cabs are insanely awesome!
I use that exact same setup. Freakin killer!!!
So much crap in this tiny room - I actually had a hard time getting far enough away from the stack to get the whole thing in frame. Part of it is my doing (note the partial view of Genzler BA12-3 boxes in the background which I'm keeping for some reason) but we also needed a place to store the pandemic/Armageddon stores of TP/paper towels etc. Note the master volume at about 7 o'clock.I don't really believe you. Please post a video demonstrating this
