Members Flatball Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I tried one of these out yesterday and was fairly impressed. I'm looking for something small like this as a backup head, or maybe MarkBass Little Mark 800or Eden WTX500. Does anyone have experience, comments, suggestions about any of these that will help me decide? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ToeJamFootball Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have a Shuttle and it kicks arse! I can only imagine the 6.o being better, although I have a feeling it wouldn't pull the same sound as the 3.0 because of the preamp tube. GB has exceptional Customer service aswell, this is a big plus IMO. I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Orph Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I love my 6.o ! I don't have much experience with amps, but I have plenty options when it comes to adjusting the sound, and a nice distortion sound when pushing it a little.

Members bnyswonger Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I saw Doug Johns put one into thermal shutdown a couple of months ago - but it sounded pretty good right up until then. I think his kicking in an envelope filter pedal put it over the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeonVomit Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 Love it. Reliable, built like a tank, sounds awesome, tiny, light. Get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melancholy mechanic Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I love mine. It doesn't pound like my GBE1200 but it sounds great and it is much nicer on my back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funkee1 Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 It's a Genz Benz. They don't make sucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rpsands Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I like it, but not as much as the heavier GB amps. I'd go for a Shuttle 9.0 based on the reviews I'm hearing that the low end is a bit bigger on that model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members infralife Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm waiting for reliability issues to be resolved. Thermal shutdown might be a problem with lightweight amps. I have no data to prove it, other than the mysterious temporary failures of my Eden 260. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kaiser_sosea Posted October 30, 2009 Members Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm waiting for reliability issues to be resolved. Thermal shutdown might be a problem with lightweight amps. AFAIK Genz Benz amps don't/haven't had reliability issues. I certainly haven't had any problems with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
