Genz Benz Shuttle Max 12.0

sweet... I would just like an Uber 210 to drop under my Uber212 for regular gigging

I'm not sure. This was for some special, "benefit/save the world" type, multi artist concert. It was to be an arena, out door event too.

He'd been using GB previously but, it was just a GBE1200 and a single 2x12. So, this "wall" was a special application type of thing. That said, the "Randy" cabinet now is a single cabinet with four 10's and two 12's....in what looks like an 8x10 Uber cab.
 
All the shuttle 12 needs is a USB port to charge cell phones and Ipods while on the gig,:) Good Idea...
Can they do that?

Of course we can. I actually do have a NeoPak here at the R&D lab with a USB-2 standard (500mA) power recept output cable hanging out the back of the chassis to power a USB powered signal generator. How useful or desireable would it be to the average bass player???
 
Wait, no! You are not saying the Shuttle is built for the average bass player are you?????

:D

And how do I find out if I'm average bass player?

I should clarify that I was referring to the average TALKBASS bass player... well to the right of the bell curve!
 
Not sure if this has been asked yet,

Looking at the front and rear pics, it seems each side has a fan vent. Are these input/output, or are there two fans?

Kudos on the 3 fx loops. Could you use the sends as separate recording/PA outs?
 
i was joking with my bud the other day about i wish this amp had a USB port to charge a phone or my ipod.. it sems my cell phone and Ipod seems to s go dead when i am on a gig.. i was only joking,, but i thought it was a good idea... but you already have a prototype going.. weeeooooo

Fan only on the right side, the vents are the same for symmetry. One is in the other out.

All 3 effects sends can drive a DI (I recommend passive, transformer isolated)
 
I would so be all over this puppy if it bridged into 4 ohms.

To me two cabs kind of defeats the whole lightweight purpose.

I saw back there that 1200 watts was too much fo one cab. I dont think so. There are a lot of cabs out there that will take that kind of power wide open.

I don't think it is so much a question of a cab handling the wattage. It is more a case of how much air can you move with a single cab. I'm not sure what the practical purpose is for 1200 watts through a single cab.
 
There are a lot of cabs out there today that will take a good bit of power/move a good bit of air.

Take the Schroeder 4x10 Cab it will take 2,000 watts.

I'm currently looking for something to put atop a Shcroeder 2x12 Cab and that cab will take in excess of 1,000 watts.

+1.

Guess the technology is not there yet to do a single, vs. dual, output 1200 watt head in this form factor. Given Genz's innovation curve, that can't be too far away.
