OWNER'S MANUAL
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – The SHUTTLE MAX 12.0 bass amplifier has been designed with our unique ULTRA
LIGHT unified design process, yielding a 1200 watt (2 x 600 watt) professional high powered tour-class bass guitar
amplifier weighing only 6.75 lbs! This compact design blends the best of analog and digital platforms to produce the
ultimate in warmth, punch and power.
The SHUTTLE MAX 12.0 is equipped with a ¼" unbalanced INSTRUMENT INPUT, input stage clip detector, MUTE
switch with LED indicator, FET and 12AX7 TUBE preamps each with HIGH/LOW gain stage settings, each channel
offers 4 band ACTIVE equalization with 2 sweepable midrange bands, 3 switched SIGNAL SHAPE filters with level
adjustments, MASTER VOLUME, proprietary OUTPUT LIMITER, TUNER OUT, AUX INPUT, 3 EFFECTS LOOPS,
balanced DIRECT OUTPUT with GROUND LIFT, PRE or POST EQ and MIC/LINE switches, HEADPHONE OUT-
PUT, and 2 Neutrik NL-4 "Speakon"™ speaker jacks.
The power amp design is a powerful, lightweight Class D design and is supported by a state-of-the-art digital Switch
Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which does away with the weight of a traditional power transformer. The SHUTTLE
MAX 12.0 uses two 600 watt amplifier modules, both driving full output power into 4 ohms speaker loads—1200
watts total output. The power supply is usable from 100-240 volts, lending itself well to international touring players.
