Dr. Z marks 20th Anniversary of creating world-class amps with new logo plate on 2008 models! Congrats Dr. Z!
There's a reason Mass St. Music was recently named one the Top 10 Dr. Z dealers for 2007 - we 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 his line 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, especially the hard wood front option and colored tolex!

Using the classic setup of a quartet of EL84s biased close to true Class A at 30 watts, the Dr. Z Stang Ray tips its hat to classic British tones, but like all Dr.Z amps, has its own unique voice. The preamp uses an EF-86, and it has a 12AX7 phase inverter. Tone shaping is accomplished with Volume, Tone, and Cut controls, giving you the ability to dial up a warm tone, but with sweet 3k range brilliance for beautiful upper treble and nice low-midrange control. The output transformer was designed by Ken Fischer (Trainwreck), who also worked with Dr.Z on the Airbrake.

One 12" speaker, two knobs, ALL ROCK!! This amp is so cool it's ridiculous. Clean or dirty, this all tube, 18 watt power house will forever change your mind about channel switching, active EQ, dip switches and all the other bells and whistles other tube amp companies throw at you to convince you the tone of their amps is better than it really is. Perfect for club and studio use, the one tone knob is surprisingly versatile and this amp loves pedals.

At first glance, the Dr. Z Carmen Ghia looks rather, well, modest. This is why this amp leaves so many people floored from the first note. Clean notes come out with a warmth, complexity, and sustain like one has never heard from such a small amp. Every note has a hugeness to it that seems far beyond an 18 watt head. All this comes before the amp really starts to sing. As you turn the Volume clockwise, the fun factor increases. The big clean notes get even BIGGER than they were before. Sustain becomes as smooth and musical as you have ever heard it. Notes seem to sing forever. This is an incredibly fun amp, and you'll have trouble putting your guitar down. The Carmen Ghia interacts with the player because the player can feel the power tube distortion.
This amp is becoming a favorite in recording studios around the world. It's also a great little amp for small clubs. While many other small amps have trouble cutting through the mix and have a rather flatulent low end, your Dr. Z Carmen Ghia will cut through the mix, always tightly and musically.

Fabulous sounding 2 x 12 Dr. Z Maz 38 combo, with reverb. It's all here, Voxey chime, Blackface sparkle and woody British overdrive when pushed hard. Takes pedals extremely well. In mint condition, and begging to be cranked! USED

All of Zs amps are some of the best in their field, but this one always stands out. It's hard to describe the experience when playing through this amp and in a live situation, this amp takes on a whole new level of tonal bliss. Its 32 watts of pure KT66 love work in small and large stage environments. Through a Z-Best cab, it is downright one of the best and most versatile tones on the planet. Through a vintage Marshall 4 x 12" cab, it's British blues nirvana. This year, Dr. Z marks 20 years of making the finest amps in the world. To mark the occasion, he's got a cool logo plate on these models.

The Dr. Z Maz 38 Senior 1x12, here with Reverb, is a killer amp with amazing versatility. Now equipped with a larger output transformer, it's got a wider bandwidth for clearer lows and less compressed sound. Dr. Z took several of the upgrades proved through the Maz 18 and has incorporated them into the 38 with great results - more sustain, no negative feedback, and a new cut control that replaces the presence control.

The Dr. Z Rx 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 Dr. Z Z-28 2x10 is a 6V6 based amp. It utilizes the format of the Route 66, that is, a EF-86 pre- amp, a unique Volume, Bass, and Treble full drive tone stack, and a tube rectified power supply. The Z-28 is rated at approximately 22 watts, so it fits under the Route 66 and the KT-45. It has a more American type tone, which some have described as Brown Tolexed Deluxe. The sweet sparkle of the 6V6 is ever present, along with a smooth full distortion at a very useable volume level - Grant USED

The Dr. Z Mazerati GT 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." Check out all the new Dr. Zs we recently received here.

Don't confuse the "18 Watt" with "weak and flabby". You'll be amazed by the definition and headroom, all the way down to the low E. It's got plenty of power for a single 12" speaker. You'll use this amp in small clubs and never think about needing to mic it. Got a larger venue? Mic it and play away, because big amp tone and soul is all there. This would also be a great amp for jazz guitarists, whether you're looking to replace a small blackface amp or looking for an amp with enough complexity for fusion. s/n: 81530 USED
