Now sold £245 + post (UK)
 

Hey all,

 

As I've gone bit barmy with pedal purchases recently so I would like to recoup some brass!

 

Here we have a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 that I traded for on here a while back. This was a backup for another one I have just sold via a wanted add on here.

 

It's in reasonably good cosmetic condition, I was told by the previous owner that he rolled the valves, a very minor difference if any between my other one mentioned above. The amp sounds as it should, you can go from clean to valve driven easily, fairly simple interactive controls and I've heard the DI out has a good rep. It's rating is 900W at 4 ohms, 500 at 8 ohms.

 

The spec can be read below:

 

Genz Benz Streamliner STM-900 Features:

500 Watts @ 8 ohms; 900 Watts @ 4 ohms

SMPS and Class D power amplifier design

Class A Six Stage Tube Preamp (3x12AX7A Tubes)

Modified Passive Baxandall EQ for the Lows and Highs

Active Tube Driven Mid EQ

Selectable 3-Position Mid Frequencies: 220, 600, 2.5K HZ

Input Mute

Hi Gain switch

Master Volume

Patent Pending P.H.A.T topology

Full Direct Output Interface

Effects Loop

Headphone Input

Aux. Input

Dual Speakon Outputs

Variable Speed Fan Cooling

Patent Pending P.H.A.T. topology

 

Unfortunately it does suffer from the intermittent backlight LED issue that these are prone to, there is a fix but I've never minded so left it as. There is a slight blue glow happening but not as bright as it should be (see last pictures).

 

I'm now only asking £245 + post (UK only) for this, however collection would be ideal or meet up within reason from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

When you say LED issue, can you explain that for me? 

Just doesn't light up when turned on?

…. yeah the blue LEDs that light up and shine from behind the Genz Benz oval logo on the front panel are supposed to turn on when the amp is, basically they are a back light to the clear logo.

 

The issue is they come on when they want, or only/faintly partially most of the time. Aged Horse on here (and TB) designed the amps and has said before that they are not part of any audio circuit so they won’t affect the sound. As far as I know it was a faulty batch of LEDs that were used (but don’t quote 🤣!).
 

They are only cosmetic as far as I’m aware. The LEDs/lights for the other functions (mute, hi gain etc) all work as they should.

 

You can get the backlight issue repaired by replacing the LEDs, but as said before it’s never concerned me really. If it doesn’t sell I may look into repairing it, but would rather sell at the moment anyhow.

 

Hope that helps.
