Details

I'm updating my FS thread for my GB Shuttle 9.0 with a significantly reduced price.

This amp was purchased on TB from this thread - SOLD - Genz Benz 9.0 Shuttle Head Like New $380.00 Shipped Conus!

The amp arrived with a LOT of static on both the tube preamp gain as well as the master volume. I decided to send it to Aged Horse for repair. He performed a range of cleaning and update services to the amp, but when it arrived back, both knobs were still full of static. I thought perhaps I needed to work them in after the cleaning, but after turning each knob back and forth 500+ times each, the static is still there. My conclusion is that if Aged Horse couldn't fix it, it's not fixable.

I'll include the factory service report with the amp so you can see everything he did. At the time he replied - "I have your amp sorted out, looks like several issues but the primary cause was something sprayed that got onto the PCB and attracted some conductive debris in a sensitive part of the circuit. I also worked on the tube socket, installed one factory update and some minor things."

The amp works fine in every other facet. Price is shipped CONUS, paypal only.

Link shows Amp with black Knobs; Did you change them all including pots and still have static?

No, I neither changed anything or attempted any cleaning/repair on my own.

Andy replaced the knob set with factory OEM knobs.

Under the services performed section there is a check mark next to "repair/replace pot/switch".

Is the static only when you turn the knobs and quiet when it’s set?

This is a steal if anyone is looking for a 900 watt backup amp. I would nab it if I was playing out. GLWTS

For the TLDR Crowd - the tube preamp and master volume knobs both have static when turned. Everything else is fine.

Did you try contacting Andy and tell him what is going on? He does awesome repairs and stands behind his work.

No - I want to sell the amp, not drop even more money into getting it fixed at this point.

I don't see anything wrong with letting people know upfront there's an issue.

I meant nothing by my post. Just hate to see you take a loss. Hopefully someone buys it and gets it fixed. GLWTS
