this forum was instrumental in me selecting my new amp. just received my maz senior head in blond from boston guitar works. what a beautiful amp.when i first fired it up it sounded weak so i took off the back panel and found one svetlana 12ax7 stone cold,so i took out the jj's in v1 and v2 moved then all the way over to the last two sockets and replaced v1 and v2 with eh12ax7it made a big difference in the tone which i thought was a little muddy.i play all stratocasters in my blues band and i wanted to bump up the gain alittle with out being to loud since i dont use any pedald,so i put a 10 band boss eq in the mix and that got me the tone i want when doing some solo's,and i can switch it in and out when needed.also just ordered a z best two twelve cab. thanks again for all your info you z guys and gals rock.

Whoa! Don't shout with the all caps! You'll find this to be a great amp. Hard to beat a Maz. I still think it's the flagship of the line because it's so versatile.

I loved the fuchs and i will probably get another one,the problem was it was 100 watts of ear shattering power,i play alot of small clubs,and running the amp amp at two or three seemed crazy to me since you cannot apreciate the power and tone of the amp. I will get a 30 or 50 watt head in the future,if you are interested in fuchs try one out you wont be disapointed.It has channel switching and the amp was very quiet,but it doesn't have the personality of the maz 38. It's funny but the more i play the maz the sweeter it seems to get,maybe my imagination but i dont think i have owned a nicer sounding amp.and i have had them all.

I was once communicating online with a guy about amps. He had had a Fuchs and said the clean tone was never quite there.

Thanks. My band just did a Fall Festival back in September in Hatboro. It was a cold night. We could see our breath onstage. We usually do private parties, so we never play too much where our friends can get to hear us. Please let me know when you have a gig. I'm about 70 miles from NE Phila.
Go EAGLES!

Maz Sr is one of the best amps ever built, and is probably the best amp the Doc has built. It's just so versatile, and I've yet to find a speaker and/or cab combination that didn't sound good with the amp. JMO Jason
