Can the ShuttleMax do a good Streamliner impression?

[BassTractor]

IIRC, someone stated some months ago that the voicings are different enough that a ShuttleMax will not do a good Streamliner impression. I've tried to find it to no avail, so here's a new thread.

So, howe sayest thee, your ladyshippes ande lordshippes? Can the ShuttleMaxes do this? Can they come close enough? Is it dependent on exactly which of them?

Thanks!

Personally, I think they are totally different! A much warmer, smoother sweeter pre vs a tighter, quicker brighter middier tone

Spot on.

I have to agree with both of the above replies.
They are voiced different.
The shuttlemax does its own really nice valve tone.
Personally though, I am loving the FET clean Chanel, it's a revalation to me being able to hear every part of what I'm playing.
I have been using valve or valve state amps for years but I am enjoying the difference in clean tone, perhaps it's my mid life crisis :-)

Thanks, guys. A definite "no" that confirms what was mentioned earlier, and in a clear fashion.
I hate you, btw. This is gonna cost me moneys that I don't have. Anyone wanna buy my ex? Almost mint! ...

I have three genz amps and I prefer the FET on the ShuttleMax 9.2, love it, mind you both channels blended together has got some poke!

Agreed.

Update:
Thanks to you guys' info, I went for both lines, and have these last weeks taken reception of a Streamliner as well as a GBE instead of a Max.

The way I understood it, the best argument for the ShuttleMax over the GBE is weight, so I assume that the GBE is not a worse amp.
Even when shoved through Ashdown LB 112 cabs (made for the Little Bastard), the GBE was mighty, open and airy, and responded to every little change in my "playing". I guess this will get even better when shoving it through Vanderfaceds.
Not tried the Streamliner yet.

So: thanks again! Playing bass became more fun.

I'd have a gbe in a shot if i could be Arsed to carry it,i salute you

[BassTractor]

Well, at any rate it's a lot lighter in weight than a Streamliner with attached 19" rack module, so my back is safe!

Two 112EXTs, a Midget and a Compact.
Yup, I'm looking forward to it.
