Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

MG-800 is a compact bass amp head rated at 800W into 4 ohms or 400W into 8 ohms, weighing 6.25 lb. Clean and Drive channels provide two distinct starting points: pristine, articulate response or a more driven harmonic texture. Its Dual Curve Variable Contour circuit adds two selectable shaping paths—Curve A moves from Classic to Modern through a mid-scoop contour, while Curve B moves from Thicker to Vintage with a low-mid bump and tapered top end. A flat position bypasses the contour circuit.
