GenzBenz amps

#41
Yes Sir..

Yeah.... That Alleva Coppolo bass is a conversation starter for sure..:) And it has a great Growl to it..:bassist:

I'll tell ya ,the RSLEDS on the Genz really comes in handy on stages lit with Super Bright Vari-Lights or on daylight outdoor shows.
Along with the peterson strobo tuner that is backlit LCD type..Its the only tuner that I found that can be seen on Super bright stages where normal red LEDs cant be seen at all...

That pair of Uber 115's with a SM9.2 has to be one of the best sounding rock rigs around. Very nice. Genz benz has taken quite a bit of heat about their retina-searing blue LED but next to that psychedelic blue bass I don't think anyone would even notice. :D

I have the Shuttle 6.0/12T speaker combo, and also the Shuttle 210T cab. In June I'll be playing two outdoor gigs, and that little Shuttle with the single 12 and 210 will cover everything I need to keep up with two guitars, keyboard and drums, with volume left over.

Incredibly light, incredibly great sounding, incredibly well built. That's Genz-Benz. My 61-year-old back thanks me every time I move the amp and cabs.

Just purchased a Shuttle 12.2 and Neox 212T. Genz Benz is the go. Light, way tonaly flexable! and when you get personal emails from Jeff himself it's killer service. I have played through SWR, Trace Elliot, Peavey and Ampeg, but I'm loving GB. I would recommend them

Just swapped my aguilar 500sc for a Shuttlemax 12.0. VERY happy with the trade! Gigged it friday and saturday night with a pair of Mesa PH115's,....it sounded killer! Thick, grindy, very present in the mix. The pedal board came in handy for switching tones around, couldn't be happier with it. Now to find out how much of the transferable warranty is left,...hoping it's good for a while longer. Although I don't forsee any problems down the road with this amp. Anything that performs this well is usually pretty damn solid under the hood!

I've gone to no effects whatsoever since going with my Genz shuttle 12. It allows the full character of the bass you r playing to really come through.

So true. I can see why the bass whisperer use's these amps to show case the indiviual tones of different basses on youtube.

With the EQ's flat you get nothing but the instrument. But tweek it a bit and it make's the bass shine! My previous head was a Mo Bass by SWR. It had numerous effects built into the head (which was fun) but no tone like the 12.2. Or as flexable!

I think with this amp, you have to play it to understand.

Not to sound redundant,but i too was an SWR and Ampeg guy before i recently traded my Ampeg 7pro and SWR Goliath III for a Genz STL900 and 810e cab.(i needed more cab) I cant believe i hadnt given Genz a shot before now,they are just simply better,in every way! Ive been looking for this tone for 16yrs,now if i can only find the right Genz cabs to replace my fridge sized 810e...The problem is they all sound so friggin good together,i cant decide! A Uber 1x15 under a Quad,or a 2x12? And Focus LT cabs seem to be more on my budget and maybe a great choice as well.. Try a Genz head or cab,they combine all the traits that the "other guys" try to do,but better. Im convinced now,thanks Genz! Im hooked!
