Silky999 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I have a serious desire to upgrade my TC BH500. I am using a combination of TC BC210, BC212 and BC410 cabs depending on gig. I have read people rave about the Genz Benz Shuttles but not so much about the TC Blacksmith. What are the opinions of the wise heads at Basschat?

jimmy23cricket Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Not sure anyone has said anything negative about Blacksmiths. I believe most people who have had one think they are epic. The question is though, do you need that much power? They are also on the larger side size wise. personally I’d have one in a flash just to say I owned a squillion watt amp!

Silky999 Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 The size is a good point and I must admit I prefer the look of the Benz but as you say, the power of the TC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimefred Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I had a blacksmith, it lasted 3 months before I got rid of it for an SVT 2 Pro. Everything about it was just meh. Yes it was loud. But not in the right areas, no weight to the sound and just felt flat. I just couldn't get on with it at all and the pre amp just felt boring.

BassmanPaul Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Although the Genz Benz Shuttles are no longer made they are fully supported by member @agedhorse How that support works in Europe he'll have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agedhorse Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 It's pretty expensive to support them myself in Europe, but there are a few qualified and authorized shops in the UK that I work with that have a nice track record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
