Sign in to disble this ad
OK...thoughts....A Little Markbass Tube 800 or a Genz Benz Shuttle Max 9.2?????

I am getting both, but wanted to here from the forum what people think.

I am looking for a light-weight amp, that has warm tones. I know the cab has alot to do with it, but am starting with the amp first.

I will let you know when they come in and what I think....

ShuttleMAX 9.2




I like both. If I had to choose, it'd be the ShuttleMAX 9.2. I simply prefer its tone and operating one feels right at home

9.2

1) Tone shaping lows, mids & highs is really cool via footswitch, u choose if that shaping is subtle or not
2) Footswitch mute option
3) 2 EQ channels to change tone radically on the fly, great for cover bands
4) USER serviceable tube... you CANNOT change the LM tube, it must go to a service center
5) AUX in to play music through your speakers at same time ( I use this VERY often)
6) Headphone jack
7) Poweramp in: You can use JUST the power amp and plug in a preamp, another pedal

That enough?

Similar price if you look around

That alone scared me away from the LM Tube

I like the LMIII. I'd also skip the tube. If I want more tube, then I'll add something myself.
