PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – The SHUTTLE
®
6.2 represents the 2nd generation
of our widely acclaimed SHUTTLE
®
series of light weight, high output bass
amplifiers. This model has been designed with our unique ULTRA LIGHT
unified design process, yielding a 600 watt professional high powered tour-class
bass guitar amplifier, weighing only 3.75 lbs! This 2nd generation SHUTTLE
®
amplifier now incorporates our unique 3-Dimensional Power Management
circuitry along with other enhancements like increased tube gain and high
efficiency thermal management.
Our proprietary 3DPM™ technology insures greater and more solid sounding
output while retaining the feel and playability of a more traditional tube based
power amplifier. When driving the power amp hard the player can feel
increased heft and girth of the individual notes, while maintaining dynamics and
articulation. The result is an amplifier that achieves a more 3 dimensional tone
and feel, like a tube amplifier power section, without the anemic flatness other
amplifier designs can exhibit. This compact design blends the best of analog
and digital platforms to produce the ultimate in warmth, punch and power.
The SHUTTLE
®
6.2 is equipped with a ¼” unbalanced instrument input, preamp
stage clip detector, mute switch with LED indicator, 12AX7 tube preamp with
extended range variable input gain, 3 switched signal shape filters with LED
indicators, 3 band active equalization with sweepable midrange frequency,
master volume control, proprietary 3DPM™ power management, ¼” tuner
output, aux. input, effects loop, balanced direct out with ground lift/pre-post/mic-
line switches, headphone output, and 2 Neutrik NL-4 “Speak-On”™ speaker
jacks.
The power amp is a powerful, light weight Class D design and is supported by a
state-of-the-art high frequency Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which does
away with the weight of a traditional power transformer. The SHUTTLE
®
6.2’s
power supply is usable from 100-240 volts, lending itself well to international
touring players.
