GBE 1200 The GBE 1200 introduces the unique "POWERFLEX" circuitry and switching which helps to provide full and stable power delivery into selectable 4 or 2 ohm speaker loads. The Preamp section of the three-space GBE 1200 is enhanced with two separate FET and 12AX7 TUBE channels that can be selected independently or mixed together creating endless tonal possibilities. A "global" Signal Shaping Circuit and Master output section round out the performance aspects of this amp. The GBE 1200 is beautiful too! The contoured, sleek lines of the 5mm thick, machined aluminum front panel are adorned with blue LED's and color-coded Master Status LED's which provide comprehensive operator information at a glance. Ergonomically sculpted handles add comfort and convenience. The GBE 1200's unmatched fit and finish, versatility, power and tone make it the benchmark in bass amplification. DYNAMIC OUTPUT INTO "REACTIVE" REAL WORLD SPEAKER LOADSAn important and not commonly discussed specification is a power amps ability to deliver rated power into a "reactive load". All speakers present a reactive load to the amplifier, reducing real world driving ability. Although speaker cabinets are usually rated as 8 or 4 ohms, this is a "nominal" impedance rating and in actuality can dip as much as 30%. Since speakers are not resistive loads but rather are highly "reactive", amplifiers must work even harder to drive them and will often prematurely trigger their protective limiting circuits - not so with GENZ BENZ bass amps!! Genz Benz bass amplifier designs compensate for this effect and are rated to deliver their full power into reactive loads. This is one important reason GENZ BENZ amplifiers sound so big!!POWERFLEXMaximum Power Feature This feature, designed into the GBE 1200, optimizes the massive power supply to better deliver maximum power levels at 4 ohms and for extended 2 ohm operation into reactive loads. A large switch on the rear panel is provided so that the amplifier can be switche
