Genzler Amplification Club

Post your reactions-from-the-public to Genzler gear here. Like do you get the sly "wink" and finger point? As in, "I know you're playing the best gear". Or the raised eyebrow acknowledgement from the bassist who SHOULD have bought a Genzler but got a girlfriend gift of a F****r and is too sheepish to exchange it for the right stuff. Inquiring minds want to know!

Up in the GTA part of Canada I just get fellow bass players coming up at a break between sets checking out my rig wondering what I'm playing because it sounds so damm good.
 
Can I get a witness?

Can I get a number?

I heard the two comments below (before they heard the combo) from the two bands I'm currently in:

1. Bass amps need a 15" speaker, that 12" won't do.
2. That amp is too small and light for a good bass sound.

Then they heard my MG350-12T-V combo and got schooled on what a quality Genzler amp can do!

I just smiled.

Unless it’s a crazy loud band or a really big room, this little combo kills.
 
I just did some tracks with a side project of my band. Basically same guys minus one, haha. It’s all fast hardcore punk. For this project, I actually moved away from my mostly neutral amp settings. I was looking for that old school 80’s GK rb on the rails sound. I dialed in a ton of modern contour and goosed the treble up to almost 3 o’clock. The result was spectacular. A little drive in front via a DG b7k, and it was everything I was looking for but more. It was “that” sound, but bigger all around.
Took the direct signal, post EQ, and one mic on an SWR 6x10. I’ll post em up when they’re finished.
 
My Magellan 350 arrived last night and I was surprised how different the shell material is compared to the 800. I much prefer this textured black plastic on the 350. I honestly don’t miss the drive channel (didn’t do much for me on my 800) and I don’t think I’ll ever use the effects loop. Overall I think this suits me better! Boy did I miss the clarity of this amp.

My long sleeve tee arrived too, but it does run a bit small so I’m exchanging it for a size up! Excellent material and perfect for the summer.

Hmm, mine is textured metal.
