Zinky

[iceman79]

Just bought a Zinky Blue Velvet 25 watt 1X12 combo and I think she's a keeper. I had been wanting to buy a new amp for some time now, the Mesa Studio .22+ wasn't working for me. And I definetly wanted something with a vintage Brit vibe, like an Orange/Marshall/Hiwatt. I had checked out a Budda, and couple different Dr.Z's, all great amps but the price was a bit too steep and no master vol. on the Dr. Z's. I had considered a Reeves, but I didn't want to do mail order. Went to GC (the Wal*Mart of music) and checked out a '59 Bassman reissue. Once again, no freaking master volume. The last place I went to didn't have much of anything, but they did have the Zinky. Plugged in my guitar (always bring your own to demo amps, trust me) and I finally found what I was looking for: a 2 channel amp w/master volume, reverb, and classic Brit crunch. What really surprised me is how it brought my Epi Goldtop w/P90's to life. Anyway, just wanted to share my G.A.S.:beerchug:

Did you get it in velvet????

Re: Zinky

Yup, it's covered in blue velvet. The funny thing is that it actually comes Scotch Guarded from the factory. No kidding! I hope it doesn't start stinking like a bar after a few gigs.:laugh2:

Nice 1, congrats. :beerchug:

Lots of good reports on the Zinkys. I got myself a Zinky Mofo last week and love it.

Re: Zinky

Thanks BTW, where did you find a MOFO? That is so cool, I've actually never seen one in person. Read lots of good things about them though.

Hard to beat a little amp pushed with some P90s :beerchug:

Re: Zinky

Sounds great! -I'm a big fan of Zinky's work with Fender (he designed my Custom Vibrolux reverb), but haven't heard any of his new stuff. I'm sure it kills, though...
