Anyone know anything about this head? My buddy has a line on a used one for a pretty good price. Gearwhores go!

Nobody? I thought opinions were like assholes...

Guitar player in boatcorpse uses a genz.
But blue is the encyclopedia orf amp knowledge, ask him?

I was hoping for Blue to grace this thread with his presence.

of course, he walks on water

I've got a Genz Benz 2x12 that I'm pretty fond of. Build quality is good. But I've never actually played one of their amps. Harumph.

yeppir, eric from Boarcorpse plays one. He/I fucking LOVE it. Really nice warm tube sound, with a real good amount of gain. How much?

backed, eric's sound at rehersal is great. drummers love it because we can hear it - not because it's loud but because it's crystal.

Thanks for the feedback - he claims he found one used for 600 - sounds like a deal to me.

wut

I'd buy that shit up quick.



toggletoggle post by brian_dc  at Feb 17,2010 11:29am
shit man, even if you don't like it you could make a couple hundred bucks on ebay off of it.



toggletoggle post by arktouros at Feb 17,2010 11:29am
yep, fantastic deal

If you dont buy it, I will and force our guitarist to pay me in blood.

Haha - my buddy is a gear hustler -- that's H-U-S-T-L-E-R hussla.

I tried one, I loved the sound. Really compressed... But you read things on Harmony Central, and those dudes HATE them... fuck it, I would go for it... $600 for a decent tube head with a million options, why not?



toggletoggle post by largefreakatzero at Feb 17,2010 1:34pm
Seems like a love/hate thing with that head. He's going for it, figuring that he could make 100-200 on it if he doesn't like it.

600 for one isnt that bad, though genz benz amps really dont hold value (except for the g flex cabs) so you could whittle it down to 500 i bet. for that amount its a great amp, though i find it to be a little boxy/fizzy sounding (i think boarcorpse could have a better guitar sound =P) and could use some more of its own character i think.



toggletoggle post by ouchdrummer   at Feb 17,2010 1:45pm
i think it sounds great WITH the OD808. just saying.

Tonight I get play for the first time with KT88s in my Bad Cat.

Not related, but fuck it.

im erect.

the mucopus MULCH album was recorded with one of these. i kinda loved it. it was tough as hell and looked cool, but something about how it 'felt' when i played it was too weird and i just couldnt get used to it. if you get one for 500 bucks id call it a steal...

I just traded for a genz benz el diablo 100 in mint/brand new condition. Been playing for 40+ years. I own a mesa, marshall jcm 800, music man and some fenders as well. I love the sound of the genz. you have to tweak the settings to get it where you want it, but when you find your sweet spot it's an awesome sounding amp, regardless of price. Great harmonics the louder it goes. It seems like every setting on this amp actually makes a sonic difference. if your looking for hardcore metal nirvana, then maybe you need to look at mesa recto's or something, but the cleans on the genz are excellent, especially in the vintage setting. if you want to heat your blues up, then the hot setting is fantastic. tweak the tube, preamp and attack levels and you can tune in to "your" sound. I love this sucker!
