Shuttle 3.0 vs 700rbII

[BertM]

I did some searching on the topic and found a few threads but wanted some new opinions. I can get them both used for around $290 + shipping. I usually use two simple tones, a deep low bass tone or I'll turn down the lows a bit for a punchy mid sound, but not grindy. Right now I'm playing an SR300 with dead rounds (which I currently love the tone of) through a Peavey max 115. I'm looking to get a new amp because its just to heavy at 60lbs and I don't feel like lugging it.

So suggestions?

O and I forgot to mention I will be gigging they'll be smaller venues usually but any larger venues will have a PA

have no exp with the shuttle but own the 700rbii and can tell you it will get you thru at even larger venues. this head seems wat more pwerful than its rating.

both fine heads, both should do what you want. between the two i'd go shuttle.

Having owned both -- the 700RB will be way louder than the shuttle 3. I would grab it up for the same price if your band is any hint of loud.

I have a Shuttle 3, the feature set is really good.

I often use it without a cabinet as a D.I when using IEM and going direct into the P.A

Really small and light but can drive a 2 x 10 or 2 x 12 no problems.

Better with a 4 ohm cab to make the best use of the amp stage IMHO.

+1. I did'nt own the shuttle 3, but did own the shuttle 6. I would still go with the RB 700 II. It is my backup amp, but is capable of getting all kinds of tones, and it does seem to have more " girth " than the GB. A little heavy though compared to the shuttle, but, more versatile, imho.
