Genzler Amplification ! New Genz Benz ?

That is amazing. Better make sure the dog house is still standing.

If I did that & my wife was around, the dog house would suddenly get crowded!

THAT is what we folks like to call SPL.

okay guys I finally received my second MG800 head today and hook up both heads as following: The first amp I used as my main head/preamp and the second head as just the poweramp. Nothing on the second head works except for the master volume knob which controls the gain of just the poweramp. For those who are interested in how I did this, I accomplished this by using the effects send and return. On the main head I use the send of the effects loop which sends the preamp out to the return of the effects loop on the second amp which drives just the poweramp. This is the easiest way to have one preamp driving all six speakers instead of fighting 2 preamps and maybe getting different tones.

I am so excited at what I heard today that it's hard to even express with words how I feel about this rig.... I have seriously found my tone and this has not happen in all of my 20 years playing. Don't get me wrong I've found tone that I could live with but not exactly everything I wanted. I never thought I'd ever be saying this but this set up actually sounds better than my 2400 watt pre/power amp. And it's surely a whole lot quieter. Talk about guts! I think I will go on record saying that it sounded louder and if you want to know exactly how loud they can get just look at my next post! I am seriously think that I will now be selling both of my big racks. I mean why carry around 50+lbs when you can get the same or even more from 12lbs? Unbelievable I'm so excited about playing again not that I've lost the love but now I want to play all the time! When's the next gig!

Says to wife, "Darlin, I really NEED the 6 cabs and the two amps; I read on talkbass that they will drive mice out of the house." SCORE!

All I want is 1 head and 1 cab for home practice...

Sounds reasonable!

I had to have two 12-3's. One for home, one for rehearsal, and two for gigs. I have to admit, I have fantasized about three for big and/or outdoor gigs, but I suspect that would be unnecessary. But whoever said unnecessary was a good reason not to??

I suspect it will also keep bandmates in line as well, under threat of severe bodily injury!

I've wanted to get back into a 12 again for a while. I love my Shuttle 3.0-10T and 110 can combo, but I think my best tone to date was a Shuttle 6.0-12T combo. Traded to go smaller when I was obsessing about size/weight.

If I could sell my fretless I'd be tempted to get a new rig.

I'll be up your way again in about 6 weeks, could bring my Baer cab and MG-800 if you want to try them, or you could bop down for the GTG on Mar 6th???

I thought about trying to get down for the gtg but I'm scheduled to play that Sunday.

Ok folks this is a first for me and I'm now in the dog house with the wife because of it. Riddle me this....What happens when you put 6 Genzler BA12-3 cabs together and power them with 2 Genzler Magellan 800 amps? 5 minutes into playing this happened....and the speaker weren't even facing the Windows...Unbelievable!

I really don't want to make light of your proprety damage, but that is the most amazing thing I've seen this year.

 

[Blues Cat]

Lol it happened but no prob I'll call my glass guy tomorrow. I'm still in shock. I believe it was the bass vibrating everything.

That is crazy, Nine.

That's the spirit. One 800 watt amp for "home practice." Gig rig yet to be determined.

I'm pretty sure it would qualify as all the big rig I'd need considering I never gig out any more and my church gig is DI/IEM.

Plus a guy needs some "headroom" even at home, right?

Lol its no problem it's the most amazing thing I've seen in twenty years from a rig! That's why I posted it for everyone to see, enjoy, and laugh in amazement like I did when it happened. You should of heard the wife fusing at me. "I just cleaned that window!" Lol. I asked her afterwards how it sounded and she just blurted out LOUD!
