Genzler KINETIX 800 All Tube Preamp Ultra Lighweight 800-Watt Bass Amp Head

Genzler KINETIX 800 All Tube Preamp Ultra Lighweight 800W Bass Amp Head

KINETIX 800

Feel the Future of Lightweight, Big Tube Amp Tone for the First Time!

The KINETIX™ 800 represents the latest revolution in lightweight, high-output, versatile bass amplification from Genzler® Amplification.  With years of research, design, and manufacturing expertise, Genzler developed this model utilizing stringent design parameters for form, function, fit and finish. This latest design blends the warmth and harmonic content of a CLASS A, all tube preamp design, offering three 12AX7 tubes running at a full 300 volt plate voltage and a high output, Class D, 800 watt power module, delivering a professional high-powered, tour-class bass guitar amplifier weighing just over 7 lbs!

Just as the name implies, the KINETIX™ 800 was designed to be that responsive, kinetic connection of interactive energy between the player’s expressiveness, their technique, and the tonal response coming back to them from this amplifier and speaker system – engaging with quickness and snap when pushed, or slow harmonic bloom when sustained.

Think of the KINETIX™ 800 bass amplifier as an extension of your tone in musical motion!

The circuitry and mechanical designs within the KINETIX™ 800 deliver an all-new platform in tube preamp, compact bass amplification design – exactly what players have come to expect from the Genzler® design team. From natural, pristine, quick responsive reproduction of the bass instrument to classic, vintage harmonic textures with “weighted feel to the notes”, the KINETIX™ 800 provides the tonal pallet needed to cover all of the bassist’s amplifier requirements. It is a simple to use, very musical amplifier, and is what a high-voltage tube preamp brings to the player’s dynamic interaction with their instrument through a world class bass amplifier.

The KINETIX™ 800 preamp offers 3 – 12AX7 preamp tubes running at a full 300 volts, offering the character, touch sensitivity and harmonic content of classic tube, bass amplification. Other features include a 1/4 in. unbalanced instrument INPUT jack; 3-position toggle switch for MUTE, ON and BOOST functions; preamp GAIN and VOLUME controls; 3-position tonal foundation switch for LEAN, FAT and THICK settings; 5-band, fixed equalization filters and a MASTER volume control. The power amp is a robust, lightweight, Class D design and is supported by a state-of-the-art, high frequency, switch-mode power supply (SMPS), which does away with the weight of a traditional power transformer. The KINETIX™ 800 utilizes a proprietary high-voltage power supply for the all tube preamp. This uses a rear panel Line Voltage Selector switch for proper setting of the correct line voltage range for the specific country of use. This allows the world traveling musician to always have the correct tube voltage for optimum performance.
