Has anyone compared the two?

have you checked out the Genz-Benz Shuttle 3.0? it's less money than the EA (and yes, only one input). the Bass Place over in Tempe has both the EA and Genz. David, the manager told me that since the Shuttle 3.0 came out, hardly anyone buys the Micro 300.
I a/b'ed my Shuttle 3.0 with a bud's WTX-260 and a Epifani UL112 and we both agreed the Shuttle sounded real good, maybe not louder at the comparison volume which wasn't pushing the limit of either amp. the parametric mid on the Shuttle is handier for taming feedback with a urb. when pushed to the limit, I think the Eden would sound "softer" because it has protective limiting.

About the 2 channels of the micro 300, are folks out there using them for blending mic and pickup signals for DB, or is it mostly for plugging in 2 instruments? It seems like that's the intention. Unless I'm mistaken, you'd need some kind of a preamp for the mic, right? No phantom power? |

If two amps have the same potential power, say 300 watts, the amp with more gain will seem louder. However, since the two amps have the same amount of power, headroom will be the same.
The perceived loudness of an amp can can also depend on how it's voiced. An amp that is voiced with aggressive mids will sound louder than an amp with about the same amount of power that is not voiced (ie "flat").
PS a few watts difference between amps will have minimal effect on loudness and headroom.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Mesa, AZ | | | What about the Shuttle then? Is the 6.0 generally better liked than the Eden wtx260? Can my Wizzy handle the Shuttle? I'm interested in getting rid of the Wizzy 12 for a 10, I don't want to loose head room or volume, but wouldn't mind the lighter weight and a tighter sound. Any suggestion and/or opinions appreciated.
