I loved my Streamliner 600 while I had it, and have considered getting another(900 most likely). The berg HS cab provided the "too much of a good thing" wiht that head to my ears, so maybe I should give it another go now that I have 2 Berg AE cabs....hmm...

Anyone else have the blue light on the tubes go out? Noticed last night that mine didn't come on when I powered up. Amp still plays as nice as it always has. I just can't see my tubes anymore :/

It has no impact on the performance on the amp. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Canton, Ohio, USA | | | IMO the key to using this head with a wider variety of basses and cabs is to treat it as if the Bass and Treble controls were almost boost-only. If you set both bass and treble at 9:00 to start, set your first gain where it sounds good, and tweak from there, you have way more mid shaping options than if you start with everything at 12:00. Like any tone circuit based on the old Fender tone stack, you can increase mids by turning down bass and treble. |

The 2 cabs I used before were a Berg NV610 and then a Berg NV412. I much prefer the Dubster.
Give it time and I am sure video reviews will start showing on the web.  |

I expected some tech in the shop, but was pleasantly shocked to get Jeff. Super dude.

What kind of man comes home after a long day and plugs his Stringray 5 into a Streamliner 900 ... an XYZ Brandy man, that's who.

Endorsing Artist :Alleva-Coppolo Basses |Genz-Benz |REDDI|Westone IEM | | Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Austin,TX- New York,NY | | | AT NAMM today.. Seems like many many Instrument and Speaker makers had Genz Streamliners as their amp heads.. Low Phat cabs and Wyn Basses have numerous Streamliner 900 and MAX 9.2 heads.. Got to see Andy and Jeff early in the day, but was so busy I didnt get back.. Andy see ya this week for sure
