DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
With many years of experience designing and manufacturing both bass guitar speaker cabinets and amplifiers, it
became obvious that there is a large market for a bass amplifier line that reproduces the natural tone of the
instrument itself, while allowing for personalization of tonal texture.
As with our speakers, Genz Benz amplifiers 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 amplifier 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, the best performance in bass guitar amplification. 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 filters, dual 5 band active EQ, balanced direct output, and an industrial duty bipolar power amplifier with
toroidal power transformer. The Genz Benz GBE 1200 bass amplifier gives you the tools and versatility necessary to
sound your very best on stage.
