The Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 is a tiny amp, weighing only 4 pounds. However, the Shuttle 9.0 also puts out a staggering 900 watts at 4 ohms.

Genz Benz continues its industry leading innovations in bass amplification with the new Shuttle 9.0, delivering 900 watts of power in a mere 4 lb, compact package.

Developed from Genz Benz's highly successful Shuttle 6.0 platform, the new Shuttle 9.0 offers the same simple Tube preamp features and intuitive layout, along with exceptional headroom and responsive feel.

The powerhouse behind the Shuttle 9.0 is a new 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 convenient package.

The addition of the Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 makes the entire Shuttle series the most comprehensive, lightweight, amplifier line available, offering a variety of power levels and preamp platforms for all applications.

I don't expect to look for another product ever, unless Genz Benz puts out something else that goes even beyond this one!
Sound
This amp has done for me things that my old Ampeg SVT-3pro can not. It has given me the tone in my head! Doesn't hurt that it is so lite! I recommend for anyone looking for a fairly neutral/uncoloring amp that has all the bottom you need and all the headroom you could want.
Features
The tube gain gives you a lot of tonal range, from pretty hifi to more of a vintage sound as you turn it up. The weight of course is a major plus! Has pre and post gain on the DI and ground lift.
Ease of Use
For me it was real easy to use. I set it flat to start, made a couple of minor adjustments, and there my tone was!
Quality
Seems very high quality, as most all Genz Benz products are.
Value
Value is just outstanding. The price for what you get in product and support are bar none!
Manufacturer Support
Here is where Genz Benz really shines!! Mr. Genzler answers emails himself very quickly and goes out of his way to make sure customers are happy. The warranties are transferable too, so if you buy an amplifier used and have a problem they will check the serial number to see if any warranty is still left and if so, fix it under warranty for you! That is just unheard of!!
The Wow Factor
I can make good music without it, but it has such great tone and Genz Benz support is so great, I would rather not make music without it!
