A friend of mine in a rootsy blues band asked if he could borrow my Mini for a recording they are doing. The lap steel player borrowed it once in a club miked and LOVED it. They were flying to the other end of the country and thought the mini might be easy to travel with (old combo, not head). Well he ended up carrying it on and stowing in an overhead locker! ;D Although it did get the infra-red and X-ray treatment just to make sure it wasn't a bomb. Well I got a call tonight and apparently my friend says I may not get it back. The producer loves it and wants it for his studio. He said they are pulling some absolutely killer tones and everyone is raving about the little 5 watter of DOOM! Hopefully they'll be home soon and I'll post a clip or something. That is if I get my Mini back! ;D ;D

I am afraid that Mini Z might not find its way back home... .

Well I just had a listen to the rough mixes last night and I now know why they were so pleased. The Mini sounds HUGE! It does not sound like a 5 watt amp on tape. The guitarist/lapsteel player wants it from me bad.

This thread isn't helping me one bit. I've been jonesin' for a new Mini head. Tas, if you crank the Mini thru a 1x12 or 2x12 cab will it keep up with a drummer/band? Geez, it never ends.

I used to sit in with a drummer/band frequently and all I ever used was my Mini-Z combo amp.

I play Led Zep tunes at rehearsal with a loud drummer all the time with the Mini and never have a problem hearing it unless the bass player turns up too much with his 8x10 rig!. I've gigged it a few times. Sounds a bit thin onstage but again, big out front (miked). As a vocalist, I love it 'cause I can hear foldback really well, but as a guitarist I want a little more thump and air, but I can always hear it. And it records REALLY well. Double tracked it sounds like a big ol Marshall stack. Oh, and I need to get you back for giving me Stangray gas ;D

I've got a jones for 2 amps right now: 1.)Mini Z Head, I live in an apartment and I need this amp BADLY 2.)A 6L6 amp for big, silky, clean Blackface tones. I'm thinking EZG-50, but there are a few others on my list as well. I'm gonna wait until Z's new amp comes out before I make any moves. I'm tellin' ya Taz, the Ray is the one. I'm gonna try mine out this weekend with a stock Z-Best cab. Curt's been saying it's the coolest thing since sliced bread so I gotta give it a whirl. Should I let ya know how it sounds? ;D

Absolutely! My reservation with the 'Ray is that to get the best out of it you need the 2x12 blues open back and I just couldn't afford to buy a cab as well.
