Genz Benz Streamliner 900 with GB bag and manual ON HOLD PENDING SALE - *SOLD* £350 Bracknell

[Silky999]

This is my used Streamliner that I have gigged about 5 times since I’ve had it. I’m thinning the amount of kit I have so take this opportunity to get an amp that doesn’t come up for sale very often and is now discontinued. 

It comes with its GB bag and original manual. I have replaced the blue leds that had failed which is a common fault with these amps. This doesn’t affect the workings but I prefer to have everything as it should. I have cleaned the fan and internals. The pots have been cleaned and lubed. Comes with a power lead so all you need to add is a speakon to whatever your cab takes cable. 

 

There are some very minor marks on the amp as you would expect from a gigged piece of kit but nothing awful or horrific. The previous owner has scratched a small mark on the surround to some of the pots to show where he liked to have them set but you have to be really up close to see them(see photos)

 

Collection only from Bracknell RG12 or I’m happy to travel to meet at a reasonable distance for the right money. You are welcome to give it a play on pickup.

 

Any questions, please ask. 

 

This is the manufacturer blurb;

 

The new Streamliner™ design from Genz Benz is taking the lightweight amp design into a new arena, using the superb class D technology perfected by Genz and combining a new preamp section.. The 300 volt All Tube Class A preamp design is driven by three 12AX7 preamp tubes utilising six gain stages. The preamp design features an intuitive and highly effective tone network which is a unique blend of a modified passive Baxandall network for the bass and treble along with an active tube driven mid filter with selectable mid frequencies. The versatile all tube preamp exudes a fat and rich tone that remains articulate. It can be used to simply add warmth to your natural tone or it can be dialled in to provide a wide range of natural tube overdrive. 

 

Along with our preamp design that rivals that of many classic tube amplifiers, the STREAMLINER™ amps also features our proprietary 3 Dimensional Power Management analogue technology. Our 3DPM™ adds heft and girth to each individual note, while enhancing the amplifiers responsiveness and headroom. It provides the dynamic and 3 dimensional tone and feel of an all tube power amp design.

 

With its solid extruded aluminium panels, CNC machined solid billet aluminium faceplate and smooth-radius edges the STREAMLINER™ 900 chassis emanates the ruggedness and strength of a world-class touring machine. This brushed aluminium chassis is finished in an anodised Tungsten finish. 

 

The powerhouse behind the Streamliner™ is a Class D amplifier and SMPS module, enhanced with our Patent Pending P.H.A.T. (Proprietary Heat Abatement Technology) topology. This delivers robust and reliable, high output performance in a tremendously compact and convenient package.

 

Simply put, this new design offers a more streamlined approach to finding your voice, yet it still carries forth the GENZ BENZ reputation for performance, reliability and innovation.
