The Magellan® Preamp/DI Pedal brings the performance and preamp feature set of Genzler's popular Magellan series bass amps into a powerful, feature-laden, compact bass preamp/DI pedal. From natural, pristine, transparent reproduction of the bass instrument to classic, vintage harmonic textures with a “weighted feel to the notes”, the Magellan Preamp/DI Pedal provides the tonal palette needed to cover all of the bassist’s tone requirements.
The Magellan® Preamp/DI Pedal is an all-analog full featured preamp pedal with a wide-range input gain control, 3-band equalization with sweepable mids, Genzler's unique foot switchable dual curve adjustable contour circuits, foot switchable mute circuit, aux input, headphone output, balanced/unbalanced main output and balanced XLR direct output.
This compact, lightweight pedal brings all of the tone and versatility of Genzler's Magellan series bass amplifier designs into a small pedal format.
This is exactly what players have come to expect from the Genzler® design team — performance, versatility, and reliability. This new model continues the collaboration of the Genzler Amplification design team and Andy Field, former Genz Benz engineer. Together they possess decades of innovative audio product design and manufacturing expertise.
