Genz Benz Shuttle Max 12.0

Ya I realize the rear patch, I just would have liked it built in my 1 footswitch for less patching like it is on my GBE600s F/S. If the F/S was not included and sold seperately (like on my GBE 600s), then I could see the validity of a seperate 1/4 A/B patch, however less patching and less cords on the stage floor is my theory. I appreciate the hardwired F/S, I just wished it had a MUTE toggle included in 1 piece.
 
For folks that use a pedal board, many tuners, AB switches etc, the mute switch is not necessary as the function is already duplicated.
 
The brown truck came to me today also and brought rack ears for my SM 12.0, and it is now sitting very comfortable mounted in my 6 space road case.

oh bless you- in all the "copy" I have to write about this thing in...internal docs, sales support stuff, reports, chat rooms......I didn't have a shorthand term for it.....now I do:

SM 12.0 :bassist:
 
I was considering a GBE750 because I liked the tone - a lot. But if I can get more or less the same tone and shave off 25 or so pounds, that's a major consideration. 2 ohm operation is not a concern for me and I see that as the major plus between the Shuttle 12.0 and the GBE750.

Has anyone played both the SM 12.0 and GBE750 and can comment on the tonal similarities/differences? I'm assuming they're at least in the same ballpark.

Thanks!

with everything set at 12:00, the GBE750 is a tad brighter with a little more low freq. roll off.
 
I played a loud rock gig last night with my SM12.0 with a 210 and 410 combo and I did realize some low end diff from my GBE600 rig, but it was not enough to be concerned about, I just boosted the bass a bit and it corrected. It's hard at times to change gear when you are so used to the way your sound is for so long. The SM12.0 is a real workhorse and at the end of the 4 hour gig I put my hand on the back and sides of the amp an it was like I never turned it on...room temp. My 600s used to get pretty hot.
