Rich Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Well, if you guys are half as pleased with your 9.0s as I am with my 6.0, you'll be very very happy bunnies Somebody do a review when they arrive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I would love to see a review comparing it again a MB LMII or SA450 but any info will be most welcome. If anyone wants me to road test one next weekend just give me a shout ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M[/quote] +1 I dont know why Im so excited....I think its because Ive always wanted a Shuttle of some type....and I waited around to see what happened. Its so small/light, and so bloomin powerful. Im looking forward to playing with the tube gain...wouldnt mind a little bit of dirt every now and then. Ive also just realised it fits in my gig bag I use for the LM3, the Gig Skinz one, so thats good news.

Musicman20 Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 I did. My GAS is terrible. lol. Has anyone got there Shuttle 9.0 already? Im intrigued to use it with one 8 Ohm cabinet...that basically means all the 8 ohm cabs I have can also be used as one cab solutions for gigs...or stack for pure doom. Shuttle 9.0 made it much better to have 8 ohm cabs...hence why I had to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M[/quote] Ah yes ive been tracking that. 900W in this small size and only at 4lbs has to be some kind of record?! Im glad people have put it through its paces, and I think it will sound great with most cabs...and will make any 8 ohm cab, especially the 2x10s, 2x12s etc, much more useful on their own. I think by Aggies are rated at 600W, and they are 8ohms, so everything should be fine. I think the 9.0 at 4 ohms thorough my HS410 will just be fantastic....probably louder and more crisp/clear/articulate than an 8x10 and in small package.

Musicman20 Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Landed this morning at 850am! I was hungover so as yet I haven't played with it.

I really want to push my barefaced vintage a bit harder, but i dont know if really all im after is more gain, so i have the choice of either selling my 6.0 and buying a bass terror, or saving up for a shuttle 9... Hmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hey guys Still very excited about getting my 9.0 but I'm just thinking how it'll perform through a small cab like a 1x10 or a 1x12, I'm sure it'll be cool but it's a bit crazy to think how it'll behave through a tiny speaker, I'm pretty sure it'll rock the house through my Epi UL210, that cab is just great and was kicking it out beautifully on my gig last night just can't wait to take the Shuttle out instead of my Epi UL502 which is awesome but heavy to lug to gigs!

Im paranoid about overpowering stuff, so maybe you dont need to worry too much. But 500W into a 1x12 could be ok....if you watch your master. The 2x10 will kick arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Tried out the STL9 today and left with a LM3 (and an AE210) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I use my Shuttle 6.0 mainly through only one of the 12" cabs. It seems ample for most occasions and never overloads the speaker/horn. But I do still have the other 12" cab for when things get noisy and I need the full 600w.

Musicman20 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Unfortunately I think I managed to get unlucky and my shuttle 9 doesn't sit flat, and Genz thinks it's a chassis issue, it's definitely not the feet as I tried it the other way up and same thing. Not only that, it actually shut off at about 1/7th master volume into one 4 ohm cab. This one is being returned. The store and genz have been super helpful. I must admit after testing when I discovered the problems I prefer the LM3. I think I'm not a hifi sound kinda player. The markbass still feels bigger and warmer, the genz has the ultra clean sparkle but I think it might not be my thing. I'm thinking of spending a little more and get the TC Elec RH450 as it just seems very very pro and solid. I'm giving up on the search for high wattage, I'll never use it! The shuttle 9.0 will be great for ultra clean players who don't want the massive warmth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Shuttle, See if you can get your hands on a 6 to see what you think of driving the tube. I think thats the real difference between it and the MB. I'd be a little worried about the TCRH450 sounding a bit digital. Like that Line 6 gear, sounds dead nice, but just not quite right. - My view in the RH450 is completly unjustified but its food for thought! Have you played the Orange Bass Terror?
