Yup

Could there be an issue with one of the outputs on the MG350?

It is certainly what I am thinking, but until I hook everything back up and try different configurations, I won't know

You may have explained this previously, @Joeykun, but did you attach your Magellan head to the case via the feet screws? Just curious.

Here we are, gathered 'round mine this past weekend. I got nothing going this weekend and I'm feeling all depressed and stuff.

 

[Joeykun]

@Jamvan its actually dual lock tape in each corner where the rubber feet were.

Even easier! I like it. Thank you.

I mounted mine with the feet screws. Had to drill holes in the rack shelf but IMO it's more secure. Just make sure you use a little shorter scews than the stock ones you're removing the rubber feet.

You got us. That's gotta count for something.

4x10 + 2x12…tight and punchy.
Q: I run the BA 2x12 + 1x15, do you find that my rig setup would be too big or boomy for an indoor gig with the venue being a smaller cement enclosure?
My rig carries an outdoor event with no issues but I find myself playing with the EQ a bit when the venues are clubs.

That is just pure class. I may have missed it - can you explain how you did the front panel grill outline?

 

[DavidJamesNHBass]

BTW, it's easy once you get the right rack, face place and a cutting tool (Dremel cutter).

It's been a while, but if I remember right I mocked the Magellan up backwards first because the knobs were in the way to trace the outline of the Magellan. I kind of eyeballed it as it wasn't flush against the amp. I used a cutoff wheel on the faceplate and filed to finish. Sanded the rough edges. Scuffed the faceplate and sprayed with rattlecan semi gloss black.

 

[DavidJamesNHBass]

…and I followed these exact instructions except for the semi gloss. I did a light layer of glow-in-the-dark neon green spray paint. When I kill the Furman sliders the whole amp cavity has a haunting glow.

Hey brains trust, I have a cabs choice to discuss.

To match my MG800, I am looking at the either:

2x MG-12T-V or;

a NuClassic 210 and 112. Thoughts?

I play a charvel PJ passive, with Dimarzio model PJ in it with rounds. Fingers and pick. Mostly clean, but with a crash box and fuzz at times.

I am after flexibility, mobility and volume. I wanna do house jams and home practice etc with one cab and have the other for gigs. Most gigs will have a PA, so if anyone thinks the 2x112 MG12T-V's will be enough let me know? I just love that they are so light!

I have a Berg 212 NXT which is enough volume at the moment, I just want more Genzler! And more flexibility/portability with 2 smaller cabs.

Oh and I won't be using any tweeters, so they don't need to factor into the equation.

thoughts welcome!

Would two of the NuClassic 112s make sense? It seems quite a few people (myself included) pair the NC112 with a NC210 or NC212 but 2xNC112 is another option for a modular setup. Small detail but it is handy (no pun intended) to have the single top handle on the NC112 - makes for an easier carry.

What kind of music are you playing? What sound profile are you chasing? Both lines of cabs are great but bring different strengths to the table. What is your need/want vs your Berg?

Question for y’all:

I use a lot of effects with my genzler Magellan 800. How much clip lighting is too much?

Thanks in advance

you should minimize it. Why is your gain so high - your effects should be at or near unity gain.

I use a few effects myself and I turn up the amps gain till it barely lights up then back off a smidge - knowing I will likely play a little harder live.

There’s two more effects hiding under the bridge also - an Ada pbf and an Mbd-2

My gain is not “so high”. But thank you for the tips

sorry I misunderstood…

the other thing you can do is use the dirt channel - built in compression via a nice overdrive sound - dial in to taste. Doesn’t have to be super dirty but can get that way if pushed hard.
