For sale is my mint condition Genz-Benz Shuttle 9.2, the most powerful micro amp currently on the market. Superb, clean, articulate and full tone from this amp, with huge amounts of power and headroom.

Ed Friedland (The bass whisperer) gives a great review of the predecessor to this amp. The Shuttle 9.2 was introduced to replace the Shuttle 9.0. The enhancements on the new 9.2 are a slight re-voicing of the filter frequencies. The use of 3DPM power limiting and also the gain has been re-vamped to allow for more tonal possibilities such as more distortion and grit. See video at http://youtu.be/BqancBS121M

Reasons for selling this amp is due to downsizing my gear and going to one cab. This head is just too much for what I need. At the moment I am using this head with a pair of Bergantino HD 112's and it's just superb. Lightweight, stupid power and great clean tone letting my bass do all the talking.

Here's what Genz have to say:

Genz Benz continues its industry leading innovations in bass amplification with the SHUTTLE 9.2, 2nd generation of these popular bass amps, delivering 900 watts of power in a mere 4 lb compact package. The SHUTTLE 9.2 includes the addition of our proprietary 3DPM™ power management circuitry for overall increased headroom and thicker "heft" of the individual notes played. The 12AX7 tube preamp also features increased available gain for enhanced versatility from warm, articulate tone to all out aggressive overdrive.

This amplifier works ideally with the new Genz Benz Uber Cabs, the amazing Shuttle cabinets and Neox cabs, or Bergantino HD Cabinets and Vanderkley cabinets.

• Ultra Light 3.75 lb Design
• Power: 500W/8 ohms; 900W/4 ohms

• Internal Fan Cooling
• Full XLR Direct Out Interface

•Optional Footswitch available
•Dimensions: 2 1/2"H x 10"W x 10 1/2"D (6.35cm H x 25.4cm W x 26.7cm D)

If anyone has an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 for sale/trade, then I would be interested in working something out. I am based in Liverpool if anyone wants to come and try the head out feel free. Give me a shout if you have any questions, trades, queries etc but £450 is the price for this great piece of kit.

Thanks for looking

Hi JC, how old is the Genz ?, have you had any problems with it ?, I have a Mint Condition Tone Hammer 500 in it's gig bag, nearly a year old.
Still in two minds about a trade etc I must admit, but thought worth a chat, no promises though :-).
