The Genz Benz you guys are blowing my mind Amp thread.

So I had a Shuttle Max 12.0 and loved it but when I got a Shuttle 9.0 I really fell in love tonally and power wise.

The Streamliner has me very interested with it's old school Tube approach.

The Shuttle Max 9.0 has me excited as well. The idea of having two channels to cover Doubling easier but have that classic 9.0 chewy booty thing is just delightful.

So let me get this straight......


I'll have the Shuttle 9.0 for when I feel like packing light and not straining my wrist.

Then I'll have my Streamliner 9.0 for when I need that extra BBQ sauce tone at the Biker Bar.

Then if I have a really serious engagement I'll take the Shuttle Max 9.0 for its added flexibility.

Oh my goodness the choices will be so very sweet.

Genz Benz you guys are not fooling around here.

Just crazy amazing stuff.

Oh and dare should I say for the occasional Arena Gig I'll prolly be taking the Shuttle Max 918.

Heck I'm still swooning over my 6.0...

I guess when/if they come out with something that will do 8/4/2 ohms then your head will explode...

Maybe that's next in the bag of tricks..

2010 has been a very good year. The Genz Benz team has really outdone themselves. Kudos for a great product line.

These guys really are listening to us.

If you can not be happy with what Genz Benz is offering you just can not be happy at all. There is something for everyone in their Amp/Cab lineup.

The first Shuttles were very cool. The Shuttle Max amps brought it to another level with much more power and control. The Shuttle 9.0 took it in another direction both tonally and power platform wise.

And now the Streamliner and a Max 9.0.

I need to go take a cold shower as I am getting a little out of control.

Thanks to all the hard work from the Genz Benz team. I am profoundly impressed by the constant innovation and striving for absolute perfection.

Yes indeed. I have got to play the 1288 Quad and the Ubber 15 is dying to be hooked up x2 to the Streamliner.

In my dream world I'd like to have two of the Ubber 15's, two 1288's, and two NEOX 112's along with the two new amps.

Now finding the Money for all that is another story.

I doubt I'll have it all but I bet I'll have some of it.

The biggest dilemma right now is figuring out which of the new toys to go after first.

I'm really curious about what the Streamliner 9.0 will do with it's tube compliment but I really like the idea of the Max 9 too.

I'm thinking a Shuttle 9.0 on one side and a Streamroller on the other. Nah - too much coolness and the universe would somehow implode.

KO

Yeah, the Streamliner hit right as I was really becoming interested in tube sounds and I've been hoping for a Max 9 since the 6 and 12 hit... ain't life grand?

They certainly seem to be listening to customer/consumer comments and wishes. Great products but equally important is the incredible customer service.

Streamroller? Whassat? Another GB amp?

Actually "Steamroller" would be a great name for an amp.
