My Magellan 800 makes a loud hiss when the mute switch is engaged but the master volume is turned up - is this normal? On all my other amps (TC,Berg, GK) the mute makes it absolutely silent regardless of mater volume setting

Hello @ReeV0 ---- Thank you for using our Magellan 800. Regarding your comment, the Magellan 800 is one of the quietest amps on the market, so I'm curious about your issue.
We can get to the bottom of this quickly.

Please email me at: [email protected]

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks to Jeff for personally taking the time to explain the design of the amp to me in detail, I understand it much better.
 
Low res phone pictures but can you guys spot that beast of a rig behind me? It felt great, and sounded as good as I’ve ever heard a backline.

Well, my BL sent me some tunes last night and wants to cover some heavier songs for some of the bar gigs we have over the winter months so I had no choice but to FINALLY bite the bullet and make some room for the Crash Box to my board. I'm cascading it off the 4otF set to a very subtle, always on, overdrive. There are a couple songs in our current set that have been begging me for a little distortion in them which is always a risky proposition for a country band. But hey, some of those Aldean songs everyone hates to love really rock out live.

Anyway, I'm running this into my 350/12T-V at home right now so just trying to find a suitable level of distortion. For my humbucker bass(es), I found I prefer 2nd gear but shift up to 3rd gear for my active Jazz and then bump the drive to around 1:00-2:00. As I mostly play my Jazz live, I'm excited how this will sounds through a bigger amp/speaker/PA.

I have just a teeny tiny corner left for whatever the next phantasmagorphic wizardry pedal y'all got cooking...although I'm not opposed to buying a bigger board if I have to...:thumbsup:
 
Need a little help. Thinking of changing bass rigs. Tore between the Genzler 210 115 Array rig or the Genzler 410 Array. Any input would help. Not worried about the one cab vs two cab thing. Best sound to you is what I'm looking for. Thanks

I personally went with a straight 210 paired with the 15 based on the recommendation of @Jeff Genzler due to how the arrays lined up and couldn’t be happier with it.

But I’d also really love to try a 410! Sorry. Don’t know if that helps.
 
Getting my best upright sound ever with a BA12-3 under a BA10-2
It’s like the mini version of my BA15-3 and BA210-3
I’m finding a use for all of these different cabs…

That's not an ancient movie theatre rig, it's a JBL 5732 screen array system which is a current product that uses differential drive neo mid drivers and a 2452 neo HF driver. The LF section is 2226HPL which is a little older yet still current. These components are also used in their high performance PA cabinets.
