Thanks, JJ. I’ve hesitated using the clean channel on my MG, since I’m so used to a bit of dirt on my tone, but your tone has a great growl and cut. Maybe I’ll record my Sadowsky Metro WL4 (with Lo Rider SS) next time with your settings and see how it goes. I really like your sound! Thanks for sharing.

This was from Saturday night at Turning Stone Casino Showroom!
Feeling depressed and defeated. My three month old Genzler Magellan 800 stopped working. I used it once at a gig in July and since then I have been using it at home to practice with headphones. A couple of days ago I flipped on the power switch and nothing happened, no LED's, no power, nothing. I unplugged the power cable from the unit and the Furman SS-6 6-Outlet Pro Surge Suppressor Strip (SS6d1) Then plugged it back in and the unit turned on with no problem and I was able to practice for an hour. Yesterday the unit didn't turn on at all. I tried other outlets and still nothing happened.
I'm so bummed. I think I'm done with class D bass amps. I came to Genzler by way of bad Darkglass experiences. Their customer service is pretty bad and I had to deal with them through not one, not two, but THREE defective heads. The first one had fan issues and the amp would overheat. The second was DOA, wouldn't turn on. And the third crapped out on me halfway through a gig.
I was so fed up with unreliable amps and horrible customer service that cost me a little over a year. When I told them to just give me my money back I had my eyes on Genzler and heard nothing but great things about their amplifiers. From the sound to how reliable they are everyone has nothing but praise for them. And I totally agree with them about the sound. The Magellan 800 is the best sounding amp I've ever used. But as per my bad luck win Class D amps goes this is my fourth Class D that will cost me gigs and money I would've made from playing those shows.
Three months with almost no use and my brand new Genzler is a glorified paperweight
