I gotta be honest bros I have no idea 18 watts through 2 10's would have as much volume, and kick as this Maz 18 does!! It is such a rich and textured amp. No wonder Brad Paisley raves about these things!! It has a gorgeous clean tone that makes me almost forget about the amp that sits just to the left of her too!! (sorry Christian).

Check her out!!

Me pulling down a hard B!!!

looks killer ... would you consider it a 'strictly for clean' amp? ... or does it give up some grit? how about singing sustain? does it have to be 'stupid loud' before it gives up the goods?

enjoy, friend

Bill,
I had only played this amp in stores at moderate volumes and fell in love with the clean tone, but since it's a master volume amp you know what that means!! I really got a chance to push the pre amp up tonight and this puppy really does have a very richly harmonic, complex , singing drive and you can get it at VERY reasonable volumes!

Dr. Z amps sound great, my only issue is the pricetag :(

Good job on grabbing it.

I hate you... Dr. Z are some of the best sounding amps I've ever heard. Completely unique with their own flavor.

Now, if only I didn't need to sell 2-3 cars to buy one... :| Or justify the money for one.
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

I said this in your earlier self-deleted thread. Dr. Z is the guy I've modeled my amp business off of. In the world of boutique, Z is the "reasonably" priced alternative, but he doesn't skimp.
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

When I had it pulled apart I noticed that there were a few extra holes punched in the chassis. I assume they use this same chassis for the bigger Maz w/ 4 EL84s and more pre's. Can anyone confirm my suspicion?
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

That would make sense since Z probably wants to cut costs whereever possible.

So, who's the lady in the avatar? ;)

Gotcha! That's what I thought too! In the pic is my lady of 2 years Lindsey.

You can actually see the holes I am talking aboult clear as day in the pics above.
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

Not exactly the legs I was hoping to see with the amp but ya know. :laugh2:

Cool amp, bro. Can ya make some clips?
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

Those are really cool amps. I really dig them because they sound great and make me play in a totally different style than I do with just about any other amp. I'm not really sure why...lol

Congratulations, G.

(Oh, yeah, I almost forgot- put on some shoes, you freak! lol)
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

WoW...just WoW!!!

that's an awesome collection of amps you got there bro!!! so you snagged a red one like you wanted?! too cool!!!

man...i'm really g.a.s.sin for my Celtic now!!! September seems forever away!!!
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

Sweet amp! Dr. Z is one of those amps I've fallen in love with, even though I've never heard one. Especially the Carmen Ghia. Simple and clean.

I was gonna ask why you have a light hung at belly-button level . . . then I realized that thats stairs. :)
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

Thank god you keep your stinkin' feet off the tweed. Now does this lady in question actually play guitar or is she just a poser? And, do you exploit her in Ebay ads, ala TattooCarrot?
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

Are Dr Z amps a takeoff from the old Fender point to point amps?
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

Looks good Greg...I'll have to make it by today to check that thing out without the restraint of being in Dave's store!

Stratcat: All Dr. Z amps are wired point to point but most of them have very little in common with a Fender amp...
 
Re: This Dr. Z sounds killer!! WOW!!! (Pics too)

Sweet! Great looking amp. I got dibs when you decide to sell it...LOL.


Seriously, though, enjoy it. They're awesome amps.
