Genz-Benz wowwy!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Just played a Genz Shuttle9.0 through a Genz Neo 212, and I'm blown away. Coming from an Eden WT-400/Eden 410XLT(all pre-buyout), it's just as powerful(it seems). Plus, I was playing it flat, only using the preset EQ section. It probably didn't hurt that I was playing a Warwick $$ Swamp Ash, neck-thru Corvette 5string. I already know how 'wicks are, so I'm more blown away by the GB rig.

I'm waiting for the 9.2 to become available. Yes, the 212 neo (which I have) is massive in sound. Very comparable to a what you get out of a 4x10. I play Eden as well.

the 9.2 is a "ShuttleMAX"....i.e. two channels. One is tube, the other is FET

I've played through the Genz Benz 12.0 Shuttle at my local music store and was blown away. I love that thing...

OK, that's good news. I love my WT-400 and when I was gigging the rig was a WT-400 with D410XLT and D212XLT (alone or in combination) which I just loved. The only reasons I don't have either cabinet any longer is that I'm not gigging, and schlepping the Eden up the 21 stairs at my second floor condo isn't something I want to do any more. The G/B stuff has looked very very interesting- I'm thinking at some point a 6.0 is in my future.

Well JTE, I can definitely attest to it's tone/volume being an Eden owner of similar gear. Especially being in a loud guitarist/loud drummer rap/rock band, I can assure this is the same as your Eden....only lighter(and possibly more watts, depending on what head you use).

If you like that then try a Shuttle 9.0 through a GB Uber 410-4 and prepare to really smile.

Please don't tempt me. I would like to have a rig that protects my back alittle bit better, but that doesn't mean I might!

The Max offers tons of tone shaping control for the tweaker in you. I happen to be a very discerning tone kinda guy. You can use one channel or the other (they are both different) or both combined. Does anyone know when the shuttle 9.2 will be available?
