Genz-Benz ShuttleMAX 12.2 Query

[jay42]

Hi folks

 

I've just acquired a Genz-Benz ShuttleMAX 12.2 and I gotta say, this amp is beyond awesome!

 

The only thing with it is that the mute switch on the front panel does not work but it does have the option of connecting an external mute switch.

 

My question is this; would anyone know if using an external switch to mute would work and secondly where could I get a latching mute switch from?

Andy Field still services those amps , unfortunately he’s in California, but after a trip to the spa they’re like a brand new amp. I had him check out my Streamliner. The only catch is if an unauthorized repair person has been at the amp he charges extra to undo the “repairs”. Thankfully mine had never been molested, I think he only charged about $85 for the overhaul. It was money well spent.

Let's page the man himself.

It’s like a brand new amp after he’s checked it out.
And those GenzBenz amps are truly wonderful things!

It’s very unusual for the mute switch to fail. Possible, but I haven’t seen one in over 10 years. 
 

I believe I do have the 5 button footswitches in stock, do you have someone here in the states that could be a domestic shipping address? They are $75 USD plus shipping,
