Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2 $359.99 @ Gear Tree

I'm thinking about buying this but the Shuttle 6 was such a disappointment, sounded more like 200 watts than 6. Anybody A/B them?

I think a lot of people found the original Shuttle 6.0 and 9.0 to be a little anemic and lacking in bottom end. The updated 6.2 and 9.2 are widely considered to be a huge improvement. $359.99 is a KILLER price for that amp. I love my 9.2 and 6.2!
 
I would not say "anemic" or "lacking in low end" about the GB shuttle 6.0 but it is very transparent. So if you want more character, stick a pedal in front of it. The Fulltone Fat Boost does the trick. Anyway, that is a great price!
 
Thanks for the tip on this. I've been wanting a lightweight but powerful amp for a very long time, but have been waiting for a deal on one.

My aging back will appreciate it, I am sure.

It took my order at the closeout price, net 10% discount code. Now I just get to wait...
