One of Genz•Benz's most popular acoustic amps now in a much lighter design.

The Genz-Benz Shen pro LT is an acoustic guitar amp that offers a Class D amplifier module included with the 12AX7 tube preamp and Genz-Benz's heralded 3-band Active EQ with variable mid range control. This combination enhances your acoustic guitar's timbre with the tonal characteristics, warmth and compression of the tube but without distortion when driven hard. This innovation is combined in the Shen Pro LT with a highly efficient and lightweight 300W neodymium 12" loudspeaker, chosen for its articulate full-bodied response and unique tonal characteristics.

The power amp platform is Genz-Benz's high-current 300W Class D amplifier that provides tremendous headroom for full-bodied, clean tone. It's also the foundation for the high-level output of this professional acoustic tool. The Shen Pro LT amp's cabinet is strong, yet lightweight and constructed from sustainable plywood and Baltic birch. The cabinet is rear ported and uses a bottom-mounted tilt-back stand that will angle the amp up towards you while you play. Along with the tube preamp, the Shen Pro LT acoustic amplifier offers 2 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.

Genz-Benz Epiphany

Posted by Buster McRay from Westchester, NY on Jan 24, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Active M usician

Reviewer's Play Style: Acoustic

"Acoustic amplifier" has always been an oxymoron for me, never a match for the instrument, always the illegitimate cousin of our electric brethren. So "epiphany" is the closest word I know to describe the first time I plugged my dreadnought into this amp. No squelches, no mud, , no coloration, no feedback--just the pure sound of an acoustic guitar, but somehow better. Can't say whether it's the combo 12AX7 Tube/FET preamp, the 3-band EQ and sweepable mid, the 300 watt speaker, or other. But I'm now married to this amp like a 60s Strat to a Fender Deluxe. One item for improvement; the dial notches for the effects programs are too close together, making your choice uncertain in live situations, though this is a minor complaint. Many will prefer to use their own effects thought the onboard programs are gorgeous, if limited (e.g., the combo Chorus/Reverb was very nice). Try it once, you'll never give it back--buy it, it's worth every penny.

Shenendoah Pro LT acoustic amp

Posted by Steve Robert from Indiana on Sep 23, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: journeyman hobbyist (I wish I could do better.)

Reviewer's Play Style: folk/country/acoustic rock

This is a great stand alone unit for the acoustic performer. We always want more (of course) (no matter what)- but it is clear that Genz Benz has tried hard to deliver, and they really have. All you need to bring is your guitar and a mic and you are set to go... the on board reverb is quite adequate for any circumstance really.

Every bit of this amp is good quality, really no cut corners at all that I have seen. It gets quite loud (louder than I want to get), and has a great tone from quiet to full blast. The speaker is as robust as the rest of it.

It is not cheap - so I am not so sure about "value"... but for an "all in one" where you do not have to worry about anything... it is great... and... that is not going to come cheap I guess. If you can handle writting the check, you will not regret buying this amp - it is everything it is trying to be.
