My GB Rig. Sold a 6.0 to buy the 3.0-10T and couldn't be happier :D

I'm jealous - I run the same kind of thing (with my 3.0-10T sitting on top of an Ampeg SVT-115e cab) - but I'd really like something less cumbersome than the 1x15 and your setup looks perfect to me.

The Reason I picked the GB is the flexibility of sounds... you can make it quick and poppy with the FET channel and nice and warm with the tube..

After trying out several different cabs... I found the Aggies to have the warm rich sound (that I like) and that's exactly what I get with this combination...

If I want it to be bright and punchier I usually use the mesa...

I figured that the Genz would get hot runnin the 2 aggies @ 2 ohms, yet it's not even luke warm, in fact it's almost running cold... I just have to be careful of the speakers as the 2x10 is rated @ 350 4ohms

sorry kinda rambled there... hopefullly answered your question... once I get a new shockmount for my akg414 I'll put it in front and record something so you can hopefully figure out if you like it or not...

cheers,
Ryan

Thanks! I figured that would be a great setup because of what you described. I love the phatness and rich sound of aggies, and I'd think that a GB head would even it out with the versatility of being nice and bright when needed. Love to hear some clips whenever you get em.

You'll find that the combination of a GBE1200 and GB610T-XB2 will pretty much provide you with any sound you're looking to achieve.

As one of (if not) the first Genz Benz GBE1200 and GB610T-XB2 owners on this board (2.5 yrs now) I can honestly say that you will not be disappointed if you buy this combination. I can't say that for any other GB combination, because this is the only GB setup that i've ever played through.

In Ontario, the distributor of GB products is B&J Music in Mississauga. They distribute GB products to stores, so I can't see why they wouldn't supply GB products to stores in the other 9 provinces.

FWIW, GB and B&J are both owned by The Kaman Group, who are in turn now owned by FMIC (Fender Musical Industries Corp). Having said that, you'll find that the Genz-Benz staff will go out of their way should you ever need their help.

In short, Genz-Benz is a first class organization producing first class products and supporting them with first class service.

Good luck with you're purchase.

Here you go - my Christmas present this year; a new Shuttle 6.0 and a matching pair of 12T cabinets. So far, I've only had to use one 12T and even then have had to keep the level down for my surf band. When I play this, I wonder about the folks who claim the 6.0 doesn't have enough power or headroom...this combination is extremely loud, but sounds wonderful. I do like to run the tube preamp up for a little vintage sound.

Sorry the light washed out the definition on the face of the amp...

I have to agree with you Pilgrim about the folks who say the 6.0 doesn't have headroom. The other night at my gig I was using it at 4ohms with 2 Avatar B210 Neos and when using it with my Hamer Cruise with Nordy's I had the tube and volume controls both at noon and master volume at about 10 o'clock. When using my yamaha with barts I had to crank up the master to 11 or so. Even then I had to be careful not to dig in too much and get too loud..

I love my 6.0. It was the first time I felt I had enough power to do whatever I wanted and I've been playing for over 25 years. I retired my SWR SM400 after many, many years of great service at the beginning of this for the 6.0 and have zero regrets!

Nice!!Ya I bought everything brand new just cuz.

Umm I jus play loud bro.I play in a 3 peice so bass needs serious room filler and this does it!!

I like to FEEL bass.Alot of guys think it's overboard but meh.

My jam volume(in pic) is the same as live ussually.Lets just say we have a box of 2000 ear plugs:).

Crazy thing is Im only at about quarter throttle and it litterally shakes dust up in some venues.

What cabs are you running with your rack??
