Third year in a row, we're proud to say Mass St. Music was named one the Top 10 Dr. Z Amps dealers (2007, 2008, and 2009!) - we just love these amps! We're proud of our accolades and proud to be able to offer these incredible amps.
There really isn't much that we can say about the good Doctor's amps that would mean half as much as plugging into one, even for a minute. Utilizing unique, simple designs that are reminiscent of classic vintage amps without copying them, Dr. Z's philosophy is simple: create an amp that sounds good at all volume levels, with all types of guitars, in the studio, in the bedroom, and on stage that actually creates a synergy with the player. The meat and potatoes of Dr. Z Amps are the MAZ series combos and the Route 66 head. Both amps are finding their way into many professionals' live and studio setups. But the fun doesn't end there! Every Dr. Z design we have tried is dripping with tone and soul. Crank up a Prescription head and listen as the distortion tones "dance and swirl" around every note. Or plug a hollowbody into a Carmen Ghia combo and hear Class A warmth and clarity at its finest. Build quality is top notch, Z's personal attention to service is outstanding, and the price is surprisingly affordable. Z builds only a few hundred amps a year, so availability is limited. To top it off, there are many cool cosmetic options to choose from with Dr. Z Amps, especially the hard wood front option and colored tolex!

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!

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.

There's nothing that quite compares to the killer Dr. Z Z-Best 2x12 Cab. The Dr's prescription? Place the Best vertically for a tuned, more focused sound that still maintains the airy qualities of open back cabs. Rock it horizontally and you'll get a bit more low end as the port is coupled with the floor. A long throw cabinet that gets your sound permeating the entire room. 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.

Nice deal on a super clean early era Dr. Z Z Best 212 Cab. This is in Excellent condition.

Easily removable Marshall casters added. Cool blonde cab with brown grill cloth. $669. Consignment item, sorry no free shipping. USED
Fabulous sounding Dr. Z Maz 38 Senior 212 combo, with reverb. It's all here, Voxey chime, Blackface sparkle and woody British overdrive when pushed hard. Takes pedals extremely well. Not long ago, the good doctor incorporated the phase inverter design from the MAZ 18 Jr, to the the MAZ 38 Sr., so now it uses no negative feedback - giving you more thickness, more harmonic content, and more sustain. He also replaced the presence control with the extremely useful "Cut" control. Tones with this Dr. Z Maz 38 Senior 212 are clear, crisp, and responsive to the player's nuances - as it should be.

This Dr. Z Prescription Junior 112 Combo is just the ticket when you want to rock the house, but maybe not the stadium. This is loaded with a Celestion Greenback and gives you incredible sound in a 20 1/8-inch high combo. This is powered with EL84s, with 12AX7 and EF86 preamp tubes and a 5Y3 rectifier. This Dr. Z Prescription Junior 112 Combo comes with footswitch too.

The Dr. Z Galaxie Head is the good doctor's take on a tweed Super - and so much more. Similar crunch to a Marshall JCM-800 yet more definition in the midrange. Easy front panel layout, 2 channels, complete with footswitch. The preamp consists of three 12AX7s coupled to a dual 6L6 output section and rectified by a 5U4. The Galaxie features a pentode/triode switch on the rear of the amp, enabling 40 watts in pentode setting and 30 watts in triode.
Here's Jason's take on this killer amp: A blues-rocker’s dream, the Galaxie is a 6L6 driven circuit that features a channel switching option that delivers warm, punchy clean and expressive, gritty overdrive with a click of a button. Going with the head is also a very affordable and versatile choice, allowing you to use different cabinets to achieve the exact blues tone that suits you best! - Jason

Jason cranked up this Dr. Z Mazerati GT Head using this Grosh Electrajet Standard through a Dr. Z Z Best Cab. What an incredible hard rock rig! Made me think of Coheed & Cambria and Paramore (for you modern rock folks). Unbelievable!! -Brian S.
This head is loaded with 12AX7s, four EL84s, and a 5AR4 rectifier and takes top honors as one of the most versatile and most portable heads ever. Dr. Z sums it up best: "You're in for a whole new ride. Our goal with this design is to provide you the simplest platform to achieve that elusive “boutique” high gain tone.... The gain comes on fast and strong allowing you to simply use the volume knob on your guitar to provide sparkling clean tones. The best direct guitar to speaker amplifier with the highest gain ever from a Z amp. Tons of touch dynamics and LOUD.” This Dr. Z Mazerati GT Head gives you killer gain while maintaining clarity and complexity.
