Genz Benz Streamliner, Part 10

I had a Mesa Strategy88 for about a minute before I exchanged it due to reliability issues.
This amp (SL900) sounds a lot like the Strategy with the same ease of dialing in the mids and greater portability.
Really digging this amp.

I was practicing last night with my G&L M2000 GTB, Ibanez SR670, Streamliner 600 and 2 GK NEO 112's. Man that amp and the TC RH750 are easily my favorite amps. I'll be playing a small club tomorrow and the Streamliner with both GK NEO's will be going out with the Ibanez and a Cort A4 Plus, although I am highly tempted to take the G&L's instead. Those basses with this rig sound freaking awesome. :bassist:
 
Cool, thanks!

And don't be afraid to try running that powerhouse into a 16 ohm load to get a good sense of the tubey 3DPM limiter:

Ran my Streamliner at 16 ohms tonight -- a revelation

It will take a while but my next project will be a 4x8 AudioKinesis-inspired "Birdhaus" type cabinet, switchable between 8 and 32 ohms. At 32 ohms, I should get some amazing tubiness at reasonably low volume. :thumbsup:

Yeah, try those cabs in series if you want to hit the limiter at lower volume. Could be surprisingly fun and might even be loud enough for some of your needs especially if the cabs are efficient. Safer for the cabs too--I'd guess the STL 900 would put about 225 watts into 24 ohms. At 6 ohms you'll get more like 750 watts.

Thanks!
What might I expect from running a 12ohm load?
(I plan on reading your thread when I get home from work)
