You try hundreds of guitars or basses attempting to find "the right one", and then you need to plug into something, right? - preferably, the best amp that you can afford whether you are a professional or a beginner. We carry a wide variety of amps from the simple solid state practice amp to the very best in hand-built tube amplification.
Our employees have owned or tried virtually every brand that has ever been on the market (some of us collect them!). Some are great, and some have been a disaster. When we decide to stock a particular amp or manufacturer, we rigorously judge whether or not we would take it on a gig or a recording session. Whether it's a tube, digital modeling, or solid-state amp, it has to pass our tests of reliability, value, and most of all, TONE! - yes, even the practice amps! If it doesn't, we don't stock it. It's that simple.
The Dr. Z Prescription Jr offers the same sonic sensibilities of the ES - designed by Dr. Z and Brad Paisely - at half the power. This killer amp features a post phase inverter master volume, 3 dB footswitchable boost, EF86 post EQ gain layout, a pair of cathode biased EL84s, and a 5Y3 rectifier. With the post phase inverter master volume, you can maintain your tonal integrity while controlling the overall output. Straight from the doctor's mouth: 'When you don't need a full dose...the Rx Jr is just what the Dr. ordered'.

The Good Dr. Z has done it again with this Dr. Z EZG 50. In the doc's own words, this is "My spin on the blackface reverb head that never was". The EZG-50 has a very definitive 6L6 clean sound. Whether you are lusting after the classic “El Mocambo” tone, looking to surf the big waves, or want twang straight out of Bakersfield, the EZG-50 will satisfy the most discriminating blackface tone seeker. The seed of the amp came from a new 6L6 output transformer designed for Z Amps by Ken Fischer. The output transformer has a very unique impedance not used by other American amp makers. This is one of the key factors to the EZG-50s sound.
NOS Allen Bradley carbon comp resistors are used in all critical tone positions of the EZG-50 circuit. These classic resistors add a warmth and depth to the tone that only they can give. The EZG-50 features a 2-knob all tube reverb. The Dwell and Mix controls give you full authority over your reverb needs. Anything from a subtle tail on the note to a full-on surf assault is at your command. You also get a full EQ and a Pre and Post master volume. Around back you’ll find 16, 8, and 4 ohm speaker outs to accommodate any cabinet. With 50 watts of clean power, 2 knob reverb, and a tube rectifier, the Dr. Z EZG-50 is the blackface head that never was...a la Dr Z!

The good Doctor made this incredible cascaded gain Dr. Z SRZ-65 head. It's all hand wired - 60 watts of pure sound fueled by EL34s and three 12AX7s, with endless tonal possibilies. With gain and power you've got incredible rock crunch. Roll back the volume on the guitar for shimmery cleans. This gets you the tones you need from clear to crunch and every nuance in between. Big stage or small, the SRZ fits the situation. The full EQ and Presence circuit on this Dr. Z SRZ-65 head let you dial in the perfect blend of top end, middle, and bass for your guitar. Another great recommendation from the doctor.

This Dr. Z Mazerati Head is the double power version of the venerable Carmen Ghia favored by Brad Paisley. Great Vox meets Fender tones with a very short signal path for immediate response and ultimate clarity. The tone knob is actually VERY reactive, gently sweeping between three distinct tone circuits that goes from tweed Fender low-fi tones to full bandwidth Vox AC30 tones to a lusciously dark and rich jazz tone. This head through a Dr. Z 1x12 Cab will forever change your mind that great tone equals lots of knobs, switches and gain controls. The clean tone of the Dr. Z Mazerati Head is luscious, extremely touch-sensitive and 3 dimensional and crank this baby up and look out...pure harmonic bliss with easily enough headroom for large stages.$1100.

This super-responsive, super-articulate, plexi-style moderate gain rock machine, the Dr. Z Remedy Head, sporting 4 6v6 tubes and a bad attitude, can roar like a lion and purr like a kitten, all with a slight manipulation of your guitar's volume knob. I was excited at the prospect of this particular Z amp and I was not disappointed. - Jason
Those who seek the full on assault and sweet crunch of the Plexi style circuit will find just the ticket with this head, here in blonde. Using four 6V6s and coming in at 40 watts you'll have all the spit and growl on hand for burning your guitar at Monterey or playing High Voltage rock and roll.
The good doctor give you more....this features a one-of-a-kind half-power circuit. Flip the switch on the rear panel and go from 40 watts to 20 watts with no alteration to your sound. This isn’t your grandpa’s half power switch. You’ll experience the same sonic joy and touch sensitive response at either setting.
The front panel features a blended volume configuration - both the High and Normal volumes are at your disposal. You can dial in clear top end and full bodied roundness for any size room. No need to jump the inputs. That’s been taken care of so you can take full advantage of the first 12AX7. A full EQ compliment of Treble, Middle, and Bass is on hand for dialing in your desired sound. The back panel includes 4, 8, and 16 ohm speaker outs, the full/half power switch, and a convenience AC outlet. The Dr. Z Remedy Head is available as a head only and pairs up nicely with any of the Dr. Z extension cabs.

Loaded with a Celestion Vintage 30 and a Celestion G12H30. This Dr. Z Z-Best 2x12 Cab has long been one of our absolute faves from the good doctor.
