Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
From Genz Benz Amplification
Shen Pro LT
The Shen Pro LT offers all of the features and tone that have made it one of our most popular acoustic amps on the market but now in a much lighter design.
This model now offers a Class D amplifier module included with the 12AX7 tube preamp and our heralded 3 band Active EQ with variable mid range control. The total of these combinations enhances the acoustic guitar’s timbre with the tonal characteristics, warmth and compression of the tube but without distortion when driven hard. This innovation is combined with a highly efficient and lightweight 300- watt Neodymium 12” loudspeaker, chosen for its articulate full-bodied response and unique tonal characteristics.
The power amp platform is our high current 300 watt Class D amplifier that provides tremendous headroom for full-bodied, clean tone and the foundation for the high-level output of this professional acoustic tool. The cabinet is strong, yet lightweight and constructed from sustainable plywood and Baltic birch. The cabinet is rear ported and utilizes a bottom mounted tilt-back stand that will angle the amp up towards the performer. Along with the tube preamp, the SHEN-PRO LT offers two identical channels, each with an XLR and 1⁄4” input, 3-band EQ with sweepable mid-range and a separate digital effects processor for each channel. Each DSP offers 15 studio quality programs for complete flexibility.
About Genz Benz
In 2009, Genz Benz celebrated our 25th Silver anniversary. From the very beginning, my wife Cathy and I worked with dedication and determination to build this company from the ground up. We are grateful to have had the help and support of many talented people to reach this milestone.
I am deeply proud of what we’ve accomplished in building GENZ BENZ into a respected global brand. After 25 years it is humbling to think that what started in my garage now has a presence on the international stages of Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artists.
From our close-knit design team to our dedicated staff, Genz Benz has grown to achieve worldwide acclaim for intuitive designs and exceptional build quality in the very competitive arenas of guitar, bass and acoustic amplification. Many of the design features and products you see today are a direct result of my background as a professional musician and the understanding of what it takes to rely on these products night-after-night in real-world situations.
Our passion, commitment, integrity and unsurpassed customer service at all levels is what makes an amplifier a GENZ BENZ. We are unequalled in that pursuit. You have my personal commitment. After all, it is my name on each and every product and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
