franzbassist Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 How does this compare to the Tonehammer? Is it super crisp and clean?
funkle Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 It's clean, but slightly warm. Big broad EQ, and the lowest EQ point is really more for cutting than boosting. Not like the Tone Hammer much, at least to my ears and through my cabs. I didn't really gel with the Tone Hammer.
tonyclaret Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1441991573' post='2863672'] How does this compare to the Tonehammer? Is it super crisp and clean? [/quote] It's got a nice clean tone, not super clean like the Genz Shuttle. As much I loved the shuttle, I often found it a bit thin, this amp I would say is a bit more note heavy. it probably lies in between the two. Shuttle and tonehammer. It can go from clean to dark with the taste knob which useful. Without having alter other tonal controls much or if at all. Hope that helps. Edited September 11, 2015 by tonyclaret
Kevsy71 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 That's a very good description from tonyclaret above, as a Puma 500 owner (and former Shuttle owner) I fully agree.
IanA Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I am surprised that this is still for sale, amazing little amp! I won't be selling mine in a hurry!
karlfer Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I'm surprised it's taken this long. These are brilliantly engineered, made in Germany yet very simple amps. Gig for me, put the Taste rotary to 1 0'clock for Precision, 11 o'clock for Jazz. Job done.
