agroupuk Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Well, I finally took the plunge and bought myself a head/cab and thought I would post on here my initial impressions. These are very initial as I have yet to plug it in - it arrived here at my work a few hours ago and I have spent all this time *ahem* working. Its a Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 with a 10" cab (its technically the Shuttle 3-10t combo) The head is nice and shiny and seems pretty well built if somewhat light (2.75lb's) and pumps out 175watt @ 8ohms and 300watt @ 4ohms. Its attached to the cab via a slide in holder attached to the top of the cab that also acts as the carry handle. The head is held im place by 2 knurled thumbscrews, one either side. It comes out easily and the slide/holder seems very sturdy. The cab itself I believe is made of magic and possibly fairy dust. Its a 10" Eminence driver made from Moly..HOWEVERITSSPELT..inium magnet thingies. Anyway I am sure its some sort of voodoo because this thing is light. Not just light"ish" but really really light. The whole cab with head attached is less that 21lbs. I can hold the whole thing in one hand at arms length comfortably. Theres a handy sping loaded 2 footed stand built into the base of the cab so you can tilt it up if needed to better monitor yourself. Its rear ported with a little compression tweeter built in. All in it looks the business if not somewhat tiny. I mean its smaller and WAY lighter than my Ashdown Perfect 10 practice amp. As I say - it must be magic. I will update after I get it home tonight and let you know what I think of the sound. Cant wait !! (Thanks to BassDirect for selling me it - Marks a good guy) Cheers Edd Edited December 8, 2008 by agroupuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hope you enjoy. I recently purchased the shuttle 6. Love the fact that its so tiny, although it did seem strange for the first couple of rehearsals, seeing such a small shiney thing sitting there atop the cabs. Not sure I've got the best out of it yet and still missing my sound that I had with the old trace rig, sold to fund the amp purchase, along with mark bass cabs.

agroupuk Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 I guess I am lucky in that I dont yet have a 'sound' as I have only been playing since earlier this year. I suppose this rig will make me find it - at least I hope so - the Ashdown, although technically ok, seemed fairly lifeless. Here's hoping this amp will sound as sweet as it looks!

lemmywinks Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Good stuff edd, glad you're enjoying it! Makes me remember when i first downsized to my super-loud little rig, i had to keep looking behind me to make sure someone hadn't added another couple of cabs it was so loud... Sigh.....
