Sounds about right...even the 9.2 aint exactly what I'd call tubby. For me it's just a very convenient doubling amp that sounds pretty good. My cabs have great low end, so that helps.
The 12.0 I keep as a backup was seriously lean in the lows...wound up using it as a pre with a poweramp and that helped a lot. I really wish there was a ShuttleMax with both channels FET...the toob channel is just a mushy version of the FET channel, IMO
I got the impression that the issues with the lows was the primary factor in releasing the Shuttle 2 models. The only other difference I've noticed is they changed the markings on the knobs from dots to lines. Other than some probable internal debugging (I assume), there doesn't seem to really be any other functional difference between the two versions.
Genz still does and I run the lows pretty heavy to sound full. I don't think the low button does much.

No huge difference that I can tell...the '.2' stuff is just fuller sounding in the lows
Well, now im just stuck to buying old SS stuff...my favorite stuff, darn. That and tube amps, oh well.
32ohm cabs just arent very DOOM...
And even with series parallel switching, the ability to go down to 2 ohms means you can have so much more DOOM.
The liquifier, theres an amp name.
And one knob would be labeled Moist, just to make some people cringe.
