DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
With many years of experience designing and manufacturing both bass guitar speaker cabinets and am-
plifiers, it became obvious that there is a large market for a bass amplifier line that reproduces the natu-
ral tone of the instrument itself, while allowing for personalization of tonal texture.
As with our speakers, Genz Benz amplifiers strive to maximize your instrument’s natural tone and feeling
without imparting additional coloration or reducing impact and playability. This results will always be true
to your instrument’s basic natural qualities and your personal tonal signature.
The circuit design, features and physical construction have been carefully calculated to give you, the ex-
perienced player, the best performance and value in bass guitar amplification. Featuring sturdy jacks and
controls, solid state preamp and shaping filters, 5 band active EQ, a balanced direct output and an in-
dustrial duty bipolar power amplifier with toroidal power transformer, the Genz Benz GBE 400 bass am-
plifier gives you the tools and versatility necessary to sound your very best on stage.
