Looking for a new amp head

Genzler Magellan 350

My first thought is the Genzler Magellan 350. I’ve had mine for several years and it would provide a similar tone to the Eden.

The GK Legacy or MB200 might be good options as well. I haven’t owned the WTX260, but I did own a WT300 for a few years. From what I remember it had a very clean, somewhat scooped mid-range sound. Lots of highs if you wanted them. And Eden rated their power specs on the high side (at least for the WT300). My GK MB200 seems to get louder than what my Eden could do.

The Mesa D350 might also work, but it’s going to be a little darker sounding, more warmth, and more mids than what Eden delivers. I owned one for a few months and while I loved the construction and control layout, I couldn’t get the open and bright tones I was looking for.

I haven’t played an Aguilar AG, but those should get in the ballpark of the Eden tone.

In my experience, the D-350 gets better Highs than the AG700.
I own both.

I have a WTX-500. Works as new. The sound an EDEN makes is very unique. I’ve owned, Genzlers, Euphonic, Hartke’s, Ampegs, among others. The preamp tone in an EDEN can greatly improve the sound of any bass you plug into it. You may just wanna consider sticking with them. After playing an EDEN for all the time you have, i think you will have some disappointments when you closely listen to anything else.

i use a fEARless f112. That cab has zero color. It is, for all intents and purposes, a monitor. The EDEN thru that cab gives a beautiful sound.
My Streamliner 900 sounds great but i use that normally on 2 cab gigs.

Point being, if you are used to the tone of an EDEN head, you are not going to hear it from any other brand, unless you use a “heaven” preamp preset on a zoom pedal as a close 2nd.

There’s nothing about this head I don’t like. Warm, clean, simple and reliable.

I love my Shuttlemax 9.2 dearly but its hard to argue with the much more simplistic layout of the Magellan.

My 4 year old son loves to count everything and he said "Your old jam box has 20 knobs and lots of buttons!" You said it, buddy.

There's a lot of nice stuff out there to choose from right now
