I swapped out my NC-212T for my BA rig but only ran the 15 tonight. This gear is so well built that the head performed flawlessly even though it should have been fried with whatever that power surge was the other night. Just amazing.

So glad your gear seems to have survived the power rush issues at that gig. Let me know if you do discover any lingering issues.
It could replace a HPF/LPF if either/both are already on your board.
Good to hear there seems to be no damage. The BA15-3 covers a lot of ground. I love mine.
Yes that was one of my considerations (I don't have them but have been looking to add them) and extra EQ could always be used somewhere. I certainly dig the freq points selected.
I kept trying to convince myself that I was good. My board is exactly what I want it to be. I didn’t NEED to stack distortion and overdrive.
So much for that…
I’ve no discipline.

This is a very niche question that I haven't found an answer to through searching this thread or forum.
So I have a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 that emulates tube power amps when pushed, but I'd like to achieve the effect without brain melting volumes at all times so the only option is to increase the impedance: Ran my Streamliner at 16 ohms tonight -- a revelation | TalkBass.com
Is it possible to rewire a Nu Classic 212T or Nu Classic 210T to change between parallel and series (4 ohms and 16 ohms, respectively) using a switch in one of the ports while maintaining a functional tweeter? I'm not sure how the crossover is wired and would like to still use the tweeter.
(I know that a simpler solution would be single driver cabs connected in series, but two Nu Classic cabs are outside my budget)

Yes, as long as it's not a BA series.
Be VERY careful that there is no possibility of a common ground connection, otherwise it could damage an amp that's configured BTL (many if not most).
I'm not a fan of switching because during the switching event, sometimes the switch contact timing can do unpredictable things. Break before make timing is essential.
Is there a safer method I should look into instead rather than a switch? I own several amps you've designed and would hate to fry any of them.
Would it be possible to find a Streamliner 600? Maybe that would get you the desired result without any modifications.

This is the better option.
Otherwise, you could wire the cabinet's drivers in series and call it a day.
It's probably not worth the hassle though. It's easier to get a 4 on the Floor or Crash Box 4 pedal which would get you pretty close but with a whole lot more options too.
Played at a little market on a farm yesterday. Husband and wife singer/songwriter gig. Used my board, REDDI for a little presence in the PA and my Genzler combo. Roscoe Classic P with flats was the perfect bass for this type of gig. Really hot (95 degrees) but some good (and free, thank you) lemonade from one of the booths helped. I really like this kind of gig. Lots room to play - or not - and lots of sonic space for the bass to speak.
Crash Box has been ordered from the Genzler site! Looking forward to it.

Please post your impressions and how you are using it, preferred settings, what kind of music and what basses you have tried it with.
