FS: 2004 Genz Benz GBE 600 (2 ohm stable!) with 4-button foot switch

2004 Genz Benz GBE 600

Looking for $395 + shipping/insurance. Please no low ball offers.

This is a powerful, great sounding head that will operate at 2 ohms all day long. The blendable tube / FET preamps makes this quite versatile. The I'd like to pass this onto another TBer b/c I've found my RH450 is perfect for my current needs.

There is a small amount of rack rash on the top and a couple of knobs have little chips in the finish. However, the unit is in perfect working order.

Pictures from PO linked here. Amp is in the same condition as it has seen little use and not left my house since I bought it.

F.E.T./12AX7 Tube Pre-Amps

Great deal on a fantastic amp, people!!!!! These can be clean as a whistle or can get quite overdriven and can switch between the two, or blend both......

Agree.. I love this amp and can't picture letting mine go. In fact, I'd get rid of my Shuttle 12.0 before I get rid of my GBE600. Personally, everytime I A/B my GBE600 and my Shuttle, the GBE600 sounds better to my ears, Everytime. Call me crazy..

GBE600 + NeoX212T = awesome

Genz-Benz makes a fantastic amp.

And at the current price, there may be nothing better on the market!
