Tube and solid state preamps, 900W, and incredible tone-shaping tools.

A natural extension of the popular ShuttleMAX Series from Genz Benz, the ShuttleMAX 9.2 features dual FET and TUBE channels, a 4-band EQ with dual parametric mids, and Genz Benz's fully adjustable Global Signal Shaping filters. A robust Class D amplifier platform gives you access to a whopping 900 watts of power. This combination offers maximum versatility and tone shaping with a power section that produces 500 watts at 8 ohms and 900 watts at 4 ohms.

The ShuttleMAX 9.2 incorporates GB's proprietary 3DPM™ (3 Dimensional Power Management) technology, ensuring more solid output with increased heft and girth of the individual notes, while maintaining the articulation and dynamics. The result is a 900 watt bass amp that weights only 7 lb. yet achieves 3-dimensional tone and feel like an all-tube power amp.

The powerhouse behind the Shuttle® MAX 9.2 is a Class D amplifier and SMPS module, enhanced with 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.

Features

  • 500W @ 8 ohms, 900W @ 4 ohms
  • Dual channels: FET and 12AX7 tube preamps
  • Switchable or blendable preamps

    Comments about Genz Benz ShuttleMAX Series STL 9.2 900W Bass Amp Head:

    I had the GBE-750 similar layout but it weighs 33 lbs compared to this amp, also this amp is more powerful. The only downside is this amp not suitable for a 2 OHM load, like the GBE series.

        Comments about Genz Benz ShuttleMAX Series STL 9.2 900W Bass Amp Head:

        This amp is a good choice for those who like having both solid state and tube preamps. People who want all-tube all the time should probably look elsewhere.

        The solid state channel is nice and clear without sounding too dry. The tube channel adds warmth to the amp's basic sound. I like the ability to mix the two channels, which makes it easy to dial in all kinds of subtle variations.

        You'll be disappointed if you are expecting two radically different amps in one box. This is a great choice for those who like the basic Genz Benz sound and want the ability to add tube warmth to that sound. EQ'd the same, both preamps respond similarly and sound similar, with the solid-state amp being generally a little clearer and brighter.

        I use Fender basses with passive pickups, and I really can't drive the tubes with them. I'll have to use some effect to get an overdriven sound with those basses.

        Sweet Amp

        By lief stevens

        from Asheville, NC

        Comments about Genz Benz ShuttleMAX Series STL 9.2 900W Bass Amp Head:

        I have owed a lot of amps and make my living playing bass. I love this amp! The two channels let me have a tube tone and a modern tone and switch between them. The foot switch is great. It is very light but still powerful. Hard to belive they can make such good amps at this price point.

        Amazing Amp

        Comments about Genz Benz ShuttleMAX Series STL 9.2 900W Bass Amp Head:

        I have been playing for over 25 years, owned and played everything from Ampeg, GK, and SWR, to Eden, Trace Elliot, and Carvin.This amp covers all of the basses. I can get any sound I need out of it and using the footswitch, I can alter the sound drastically with the footswitch. BUY THIS AMP!!! You won't be sorry.
