Very nice. I too thought the 'chrome on black' look a bit much. That looks great, and as you said, allows much better visuals on stage when setting EQ, etc.

Chiming in to say that I've been running my GB 9.0 through some pretty sketchy power situations and the stock tube is running strong. Amazing amp!
Once a week for about a year I had a rehearsal where we were all playing off one circuit. We had PA, computers, keyboards, guitar amps etc.... all running off that same circuit. I never got a chance to check it with my meter but it was overloaded. About half way through the evening it would start browning out. My guess is the wire was heating up and the electrons would slow down.
We would start having issues with stuff but my 9.0 would keep plugging away.

Nice knobs...May I ask where you obtained them and the part number if available? I'd like to order some.
I don't think I'd try this with out a back up amp in the stable but I could get use out of an FX blend mod.
Has anyone thought of modding the 9.0 for FX blend?

Has anyone got a picture of the newer amps with the black line on the knobs, or just a picture of the lined knobs?
I got them from Allelectronics.com. Item [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. If you buy 7 @ $.65 it's $4.55 plus shipping, which will be more than the cost of the knobs. I bought 10 @ $.50, so I got three extry for the price of one, and the shipping was the same.
There are a few pics on this thread where people have shown their EQ settings. Ad close ups of the Streamliner also come up quite frequently on the TB pages.
Yes I know. I typed before I looked. All the info I needed was right in front of my over anxious face.
FWIW I took a sharpie to my aluminum knobs and filled in the groove in the side. It is much easier to see than before.
Does Genz-Benz sell knob updates?

i used a bungie cord tied to speaker handles, with a 3/8 inch mouse pad under amp.
I also loop the bass cord around my cabs handles so if some one trips over it the GB does take flight.
I'd think about swapping them for the streamliner knobs if GB sold a shuttle pack of that knob type. I want to stick to brushed Al because they make my shuttle look like it belongs on a space shuttle.
