It's $131 cheaper than MF and that's before the $25 gift card. I'd call them and make sure that it's NEW and not a customer return though. If it were me, I'd call MF and have them price match it. I've never dealt with AMS so they are an unknown quantity to me.

Depending on how badly you need that amp, you might want to wait about a month. The GB Streamliner will be out by the end of January and promises to be a heck of an amp. If the Shuttle Tone is what you really want, you may want to wait anyway; there will be a ton of used 6.0's and 9.0's in the TB classifieds after the Streamliner hits the streets...maybe even my 6.0.

AMS is a great company, I usually deal with them over MF.

It's a good deal, especially when you factor in the return policy and coupon. A couple of eBay retailers like Zigler Music and GuitarConnection have lower Shuttle 9 prices from time to time, in the $649-$665 range including free shipping, but don't have the generous return policy ... in the unlikely event that you don't like it

Considering that they sell here lightly used for over $600, I'd say that $699 new is a pretty good value.

25.00 gift card before the end of the year on any Genz purchase over a certain amount. I got one with a rebate form for my Shuttle 9,

These SHUTTLES have a voltage switch on the rear don't they? So us in AUS or UK/EUROPE can use 'em Am I correct. I COULD grab one from the USA & use it here in AUS ( 240v ) without any modifications??
