Sign in to disble this ad
No shipping (at this time). Old-school Made in USA Genz Combo. As many of you know, Genz stuff is now manufactured in Taiwan. This was made while their manufacturing was still here in the USA. Even stamped made in USA on the front and back.
VERY well built, REALLY wonderful tone! Reasonably light too (50ish - 60ish lbs).
Features:
Passive and Active inputs, XLR transformer balanced direct output with a rear- mounted ground lift, 3 bands of EQ, effects loop w/send control, Master volume control separate front panel Tweeter level control. All color coded
level controls, premium GENZ BENZ speaker components, plywood construction, 18 gauge perforated metal grills, quality durable black carpeting.
Not sure of the wattage, but I think it's about 300 watts? It's pretty darn loud for a 2x10 combo.
Local pickup only. 20 min outside of Baltimore.
Selling her because it's a bit redundant to my GK MB212.

| | Registered Gear-o-holic | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Just north of Baltimore, MD | | | Bump! Again, this is a USA made Genz folks! They moved manufacturing to Taiwan a while ago. Not too many all USA made Genz's out there. Hell of a deal for a great sounding, loud and portable combo!
Update: Above posts edited. Sorry that I brought the bad info to the thread agedhorse. No offense was intended. Just wanted to point out that this is an all US unit vs the hybrid approach used today (today's method may be even better for all I know).

| | Development Engineer: Genz Benz | | | | | Quadzilla - your comments about made in China is incorrect. The amplifier chassis are designed, tested and burned in in the U.S.A and manufactured in Taiwan, and our facility is fully accredited by an NTL as well as being ISO-9000. All of our cabinets are manufactured in the USA using primarily domestic componenets.
In the interest of accuracy, would you please correct your posts.

I'd be more interested in knowing accurate wattage and ohmage information than location of mfg.

Hahaha, from the manual:
The unique Bi-Amp Output feature divides the pre-amp signal with an asymmetrical built-in crossover
and sends the low frequencies to the cone woofers and the high frequencies to the compression
tweeter. This design allows each amplifier to work more efficiently and the result is a much more clear
and dynamic sound, rivaling amps with much higher power ratings.
