Genzler Amplification Launches Kinetix 800 Bass Amp

Genzler Amplification Launches Kinetix 800 Bass Amp

Featuring a Class A tube preamp and Class D 800-Watt power amp, this high-powered, versatile amp is designed to offer dynamic tonal response.


With years of research, design, and manufacturing expertise in tube circuit designs, the company states this model has been developed 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 -offering three 12AX7 tubes running at a full 300 Volt plate voltage - with a high-output, Class D, 800-Watt power amp module, delivering a professional, high-powered, touring-class bass guitar amplifier, that weighs 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 the amplifier and speaker system – engaging with big, full notes, quickness, and snap when pushed, or slow harmonic bloom when sustained. 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.
