Genz Benz 600 head

[leschirons]

Anyone know if Genz make a 600w head without a tube preamp like the Shuttle 3.0?

Thanks

No they don't but you can do what I did by getting a Shuttlemax 9.2 which is a twin channel head, one FET and one tube,basically a 900 watt version of the shuttle 3.0.

I've got a 3.0 a 6.0 and the 9.2 Max, I think the 3.0 sounds the best! Tubes and heft?, meh

Thanks for the tip. I need a backup head and would have definitely bought a second Shuttle 6.0 had it been all FET but I can't get over the love I had for my Shuttle 3.0.

On the 9.0, would the FET preamp still work if the valve channel went down?

[stingrayPete1977]

Yes it's in two halves with full controls for each channel then it also has a global output with low, mid and hi plus preshapes, knobs galore!

Here's my collection

[stingrayPete1977]

20 knobs and 8 buttons, footswitch controller, para mids for low and high mid on both channels, there's fx loops for each channel and a global loop on the back along with a good switchable DI output, tuner send etc etc etc on the rear panel.

Blimey, it's a lot bigger than the 6.0. Still lightweight?

[stingrayPete1977]

Yes weighs nothing really, feels like an empty box!

[stingrayPete1977]

That's still sat on a 1x10 without any overhang either.
