Genz Benz STREAM LINER 600 User Manual

Owner’s Manual
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – The new Streamliner™ 600 bass amplier has been manufactured to the highest
degree of engineering standards and practices, resulting in a unique blend of classic and leading-edge technologies.
This compact design blends a simple, intuitive and versatile high voltage, 3 tube, 6 stage classic style analog preamp
with an internationally proven high performance Class D power amplier and switch-mode power supply (switchable
from 100-240 volts). The result is a versatile bass amp that exudes fat, rich tones while remaining very articulate.
The All Tube Class A preamp operates at over 300 volts and can be used to add a little warmth to your tone or dialed
up a little to provide a wide range of natural tube overdrive.
Our simple “streamlined” objective was to build an amp that allows the player to focus more on their playing style
and less on adjusting the knobs on their amplier. So, whether you’re a straight ahead 4 string player or an extended
range expressionist, your voice will come through.
The Streamliner™ 600 features a rugged chassis with solid extruded aluminum panels and a faceplate that is
CNC machined from solid billet aluminum. The entire chassis is then brushed and anodized Gun Metal Blue. The
chassis is designed for roadworthy durability, superior t and nish.
Simply put, this 600 watt bass amplier offers a more streamlined approach to nding your voice, yet still carries forth
the GENZ BENZ reputation for performance, reliability and innovation.
