Genz Benz ShuttleMAX 9.0 Now A Reality

Gah I'm gassing for this amp so bad! I'm running a GK700rbii now, and while I do like the "GK growl" I feel like it only works for me now and then. I've tried to tone it down but I find that if I do that the amp doesn't have a certain fatness that I'm looking for. I understand that the tube channel on the Genz amps can get a bit grindy, think it's comparable to my head, or something completely different?
 
I think this is the way I'm going to go in buying a micro to do the brunt of my gigging and recording going forward. I LOVE the growl of my GBE 1200 and to my ear and for my tonal goals and tastes, that sled has plenty of tube grit.

So why not just get what should be the closest thing to a GBE 1200 in a micro?

Funny thing though, I almost never adjust the tone from where I have it set! So why have all of those bells and whistles? I don't know!:D
 
My tonal adjustments are almost allways to fit the room I'm playing in and usually centered around the low end. Other than that I rarely fuss with EQ.

I do know where my EQ must be for my tonal goals/ I rarely set my 9.0 perfectly flat.
 
"our new proprietary 3DPM™. This 3 Dimensional Power Management technology insures more solid output with increased heft and girth of the individual notes, while maintaining the articulation and dynamics of the note." I noticed the 9.2 and the streamliner have this... audible difference... I wonder.
