(NAD) Genz Benz Shuttle Max 12.0

I've been wanting one of these ever since I played through it while testing the Uber 410 that I ended up buying. As you can see below I ended up buying another as well.

It's been about a year or so and finally have felt financially comfortable enough to buy it. I bought it today, got it home, and man... Fantastic! I love the sounds I'm getting! I can't believe how light it is. I thought my B2000 was light but this thing is feather light in comparison. I'm still messing with it but am excited and had to share!



Rig

That should be a kickin' rig.

If you move around a lot, you might want to loop your instrument cable through the cabinet handle so you don't accidently pull the amp off the stack.

Nice rig. I was flipping a coin between the SM 12.0 and the TC RH450 when everyone was ranting and raving about the RH450 kept it about 2 months. As you know the RH450 can't push 2 4 ohm cabinets. Flipped it and got the SM 12.0 and have not looked back since. Two 4 ohm cabinets through the SM 12.0 is all you'll need IMHO.
Enjoy!

Thanks! It's FANTASTIC so far!

The amp cable comes out of my pedal board so that shouldn't move much. My bass goes into my pedal poard so I tend to worry about that end more but I don't move around nearly enough anyway... But that reminds me... What's your advice on protecting the head? Rack ears and a case?

I have a SM 12.0 and a Uber 410/212 stack. Lately I havn't needed that much firepower but I did use it at an outdoor wedding a few weeks back. It does sound fantastic.

i had one of these blasting thru 2 8x10's. sounded great, but i had to put a towel underneath so it wouldn't shimmy off the amp! low freq paired with light wweight made this little thing vibrate right off the cab. would definitely invest in some rack ears/rack.

Couldn''t see that detail from the photo.

Protection? It depends on your needs. If you are touring and other folks are handling your gear, I would definately suggest a rack mount kit and small ATA style case. If you are hanling it yourself and are even reasonably careful, a carry bag may be plenty. So the answer is "it depends".

That's a good idea and I think I'm going to go that route. As the old saying goes, it's better to be safe the sorry.

No touring, just me. I'm problaby going to go with the rack ears and small case anyway though just to be safe. I really like the carry bags though...
