I couldn't either, so I bought this one

Hi Rob....I'm curious. Did you go through a bit of a "learning curve" with the Z ?
Almost like it was testing YOU to see if you were worthy to play through it ? LOLOL

zzzaaappp · April 11th, 2012, 01:27 PM

Funken....I played through one of those recently ! %$#$% AWESOME !!!

Correct!!
They used to advertise it as "A Distortion Pedal Connected To A Speaker"

zzzaaappp · April 11th, 2012, 01:33 PM

LOL....that's about right !!!!!!

jmiles · April 11th, 2012, 02:24 PM

The second Maz Jr built, Green 12" Vox Blue. Awesome. Red Prescription, that Doc added a master volume to. Two Vox Blues. Ridiculous amp! The studio I loaned it to doesn't wanna give it back!

stilesg57 · April 11th, 2012, 02:35 PM

Would love one of those puppies. Some day after the student loans are paid off....

My two Z's are;
2001 Carmen Ghia head that I use with a Mesa 2 x 12 cab
2010 Z Wreck
both are %$%^ great amps.

Alex W · April 11th, 2012, 03:20 PM

I have no need for a Dr Z or any other new amp really, but oh how I GAS for a Z Wreck.

Telesavalis · April 11th, 2012, 03:59 PM

The Wreck is the best sounding amp I've ever had. 30 watts is perfect for my needs
and it sounds fantastic with the Tele, Strat, Paul or Ric. I haven't used any of my other amps since I got it.

stephenyi · April 11th, 2012, 04:35 PM

i've owned the Maz Jr, Carmen, Ghia, Z28, and Mini-Z. All were great amps. I especially miss the Ghia and Z28.

GearHund · April 11th, 2012, 05:04 PM

I have a DR Z Mazerati that was originally in a 2x12 combo but I built a head cab so that I could use different speaker cabs and because that 2x12 was one heavy sucker!

In this pic I have my Lil' Dawg D-Lux running with the Z as a back up. I have since built another head box for the Z.

That Mazerati is a great sounding amp and I've been very pleased with it. if it has a fault, it has got to be bleedingly loud to get any crunch. Otherwise, it takes pedals really well and has a very lush clean sound. The single tone knob is all I've needed on that amp as it has a very wide range that allows both single coils and humbuckers to have a sweet spot.

bigben55 · April 11th, 2012, 05:22 PM

Ive had my Z28 2x10 combo for a little over a month. I love it. Gonna get better tubes and a Brakelite and then I think it'll be my amp for life. I plug straight in.

Alex W · April 11th, 2012, 05:57 PM

Anybody got a recommendation for the best Dr Z amp that has a master volume?

bigben55 · April 11th, 2012, 06:54 PM

Really no "best" Dr. Z. They are all killer. Best for you is what you want. Best Dr. Z is like saying whats the best Ferrari? I wouldn't kick any of them out of my garage.

That said, Maz18 or 38.

Well that settles it. I'll just have to get them all.
