[rogerds]

Well.... whaddya know?
10 / 10 for the local bobbies

My Shuttle 6, which went for an unauthorised walk a while back (and was then posted on ebay (!) - long story)
has been tracked down by some good sleuthing by the local police....

in the meantime, i've been through a few amps (well.... good excuse !) - but kept coming back to GB
but .... too many still here so some have to go

Here's an immaculate Streamliner 600 - I love the design - its an Apple of the bass amp world - so classy - especially with the valves glowing blue !

Sounds good too - just look at the youtube reviews - like the one by Ed Friedland (900 but very similar):





skip the next bit - its from the GB website - but tells you all about it....



[color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Light, Helvetica][size=4][size=3]The new Streamliner™ design from Genz Benz is taking the lightweight amp design into a new arena, using the superb class D technology perfected by Genz and combining a new preamp section.. The 300 volt All Tube Class A preamp design is driven by three 12AX7 preamp tubes utilising six gain stages. The preamp design features an intuitive and highly effective tone network which is a unique blend of a modified passive Baxandall network for the bass and treble along with an active tube driven mid filter with selectable mid frequencies. The versatile all tube preamp exudes a fat and rich tone that remains articulate. It can be used to simply add warmth to your natural tone or it can be dialled in to provide a wide range of natural tube overdrive.

Along with our preamp design that rivals that of many classic tube amplifiers, the STREAMLINER™ amps also features our proprietary 3 Dimensional Power Management analogue technology. Our 3DPM™ adds heft and girth to each individual note, while enhancing the amplifiers responsiveness and headroom. It provides the dynamic and 3 dimensional tone and feel of an all tube power amp design.

With its solid extruded aluminium panels, CNC machined solid billet aluminium faceplate and smooth-radius edges the STREAMLINER™ 900 chassis emanates the ruggedness and strength of a world-class touring machine. This brushed aluminium chassis is finished in an anodised Tungsten finish.

The powerhouse behind the Streamliner™ is a Class D amplifier and SMPS module, enhanced with our Patent Pending P.H.A.T. (Proprietary Heat Abatement Technology) topology. This delivers robust and reliable, high output performance in a tremendously compact and convenient package.

Simply put, this new design offers a more streamlined approach to finding your voice, yet it still carries forth the GENZ BENZ reputation for performance, reliability and innovation.[/size][/size][/font][/color]

Having had the Shuttle for a number of years - I guess I'm just used to the controls, cos, to my ears, they sound pretty similar
so this one has to go
