Genz Benz was founded by Jeff and Cathy Genzler in 1984. Benz built acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass amplifiers and speaker cabinets, as well as many accessories. In 2003, Kaman Music purchased Genz Benz and became the exclusive distributor. In late 2007, the Fender Musical Instrument Corporation (FMIC) purchased the Kaman Music Corporation, which included Genz Benz. Amplifiers were built in Arizona as well as other foreign countries. In 2013 it was announced that Genz Benz would discontinue operations. For more information visit Genz Benz's website or contact the company directly.
Amplifiers previously produced in Scottsdale, AZ since 1984 and Taiwan since the mid-2000s. Previously distributed by Kaman Music Corporation in Bloomfield, CT.
