Help with a Genz Benz shuttle combo amp

Possibly.

There were things we wanted to do during our few years under Fender, but understandably Fender was all about Fender and that legacy. Fender was at that time stuck in its own legacy, and gun shy due to their experience with SWR.

Jeff went one direction with the Magellan and Kinetix, I went a different Mesa inspired direction with the Subway line and Fender went their direction with the new Rumble and Bassman lines.

All three share some of the same "genetic" origins of our very successful Shuttle and Streamliner amps/cabinets, yet ended in very different yet successful places.

Thanks. One of the features I liked, but only used when the gig called for it, were the Signal Shape buttons, which were always on the Shuttle models. Were they somehow carried over to the Subway amps, in a different form? If not, why were they abandoned? Just curious.

Have not had a chance to check it out and not sure when I'll be able to buy I will report back when I do!..

Thank you all for the assistance!

A little bit, but with different circuitry and different (Mesa friendly) voicings. The deep and bright switches are similar to the boost/LF extend and HF attack switches, and the mid filter is (very) loosely incorporated into the voicing control.

It's a big world. Many ways to be, many ways to progress, many forms and steps of success. "It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you at liberty to neglect it..." Grateful for all that flows from the G-B fount.
