DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

With many years of experience designing and manufacturing both bass guitar speaker cabinets and amplifi ers, it 
became obvious that there is a large market for a bass amplifi er line that reproduces the natural tone of the 
instrument itself, while allowing for personalization of tonal texture. 

As with our speakers, Genz Benz amplifi ers are designed to maximize your instrument’s natural tone and feel 
without imparting additional unwanted coloration or reducing impact and playability. This results in an amplifi er that 
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 developed to give you, the experienced 
player, and the best performance in bass guitar amplifi cation. Featuring sturdy jacks and controls, premium 12AX7 
TUBE and solid state FET front end pre-amps, tuner output, mute switch, active/passive switch, foot switchable   
channels and shaping fi lters, dual 5 band active EQ, balanced direct output and an industrial duty bipolar power 
amplifi er with toroidal power transformer, the Genz Benz GBE 750 bass amplifi er gives you the tools and versatility 
necessary to sound your very best on stage.
