Genz Benz STL60210T Shuttle Bass Combo Amplifier (600 Watts, 2x10")

No longer available at zZounds
Built for portability, the Shuttle features a detachable amp chassis and an ultra lightweight design that still manages to blast out a max of 600 watts.

The new Shuttle STL60210T incorporates a highly innovative removable chassis design powered 600 watt design, while remaining extremely compact and weighting only 3.75 lbs. The Shuttle 60 blends the best of analog and digital platforms to produce the ultimate in warmth, punch and power.

The signal path utilizes a 12AX7 tube preamp with our acclaimed Active EQ and responsive Signal Shape circuitry. An optional foot switch is available for use with the Signal Mute and our 3 Signal Shaping circuits.

The power amp section is a leading-edge high power Class D module, which also incorporates a Switch Mode Power Supply. The Shuttle 60 delivers 375 watts at 8 ohms and over 600 watts at 4 ohms.

As a part of the unique Shuttle design the amplifier can be removed from the "saddle" of the combo models to provide ultimate flexibility in this bass system.

This combo offers two 10 in. Neodymium GNX10250 loudspeakers and compression tweeter in a lightweight 41 lb. enclosure. The punch and clarity of the cabinet design, working in tandem with the articulate response of the Shuttle 60 amplifier, makes this model a powerhouse combo capable of delivering on any stage.

This is an 8 ohm combo which delivers 375 watts into the internal speakers and will pump out over 600 watts when used with an extension cab. A bottom-mounted tilt-back kickstand is provided to tip the cabinet up towards the performer.

We'll see what new gear comes out next year, but right I love to brag about my benz.
Sound
The tone is great, the cabinet by itself is a little thin, but sounds awesome when combined with another 2-10, and a 1-15 cab. It's so light but has so much power, I even use it with my electric upright. I compared it side by side with an Eden WT800, and chose the Benz. As a matter of fact I just bought the 1200 watt model today, let you know how it goes.
Features
I love the 3 buttons, all pushed in sounds great. The sweepable mids are cool, just wish it had another sweep on it too.
Ease of Use
Plugged in, pushed in the buttons, and my jazz bass sounded great.
Quality
I gave it a 9 cause I havent used it on the road yet. It seems like it should be flimsy, but so far very solid. I dont trust the metal housing left on the cabinet when I remove the amp. Seems like a flightcase would warp it.
Value
Lots of kick a** for very low price. Sorry couldn't think of a better way to put it. It's got the power that I wish my Phil Jones Bass Suitcase had.

The Wow Factor
The cabinet looks a little cheap, I have a few older benz cabs, and this one looks very wimpy side by side. But the amp look cool. (Aluminum and blue leds :)
