I typically gig with a Maz 18 2x10 and a Maz 38 1x12. I also have a Stingray 2x12 with blues with exactly one gig on it. A bunch of studio things, but only one in public.
The Stingray is a GREAT amp. Just about the BIGGEST tone I can get. But I use a big pedal board, with six OD/Dist pedals, (Zen,Mos, FDII, Rat, BB,RC), Barber compressor, Clyde wah, FD Choralflange, and a Nova delay. I really struggle to get a creamy solo sound from the Ray. Also, I like having two amps in case one fails. The Ray is pretty big and heavy. In other words, I likely do not gig with it because it is a pain to move around.
That said, the sound is SO big and so articulate. I mean it just does not get lost in the mix. Probably the MOST musical amp I have ever had.
I am considering selling the Stingray and getting a Remedy. I already have a Zbest 1x12 V30 open back cab and a Mesa 1x12 EV200 open back cab. I'd likely pair the remedy with the Maz 38 at gigs.
Any thoughts?

The Ray and the Remedy are entirely different. THe Remedy gives up the goods without even having to use pedals. It's not what I consider "clean" when comparing it to the Stang Ray, but it's HUGE. If you're doing good ol' rock and roll it may be a nice change... The Ray like you said big, articulate and musical... the Remedy is that but different... it does the creamy without a pedal at reasonable volumes. The Remedy will pair nicely with any of the Z El84 amps.
But my thoughts: keep the Ray and get the Remedy... if you sell the Ray you will miss her for sure.

.... But my thoughts: keep the Ray and get the Remedy... if you sell the Ray you will miss her for sure. That's what I am afraid of for sure. Plus it is a STING Ray. Only 50 of those bad boys. I have a Mesa F30 that I can't stand. I'll sell that and a Strat or two and get the Remedy. Better idea, yes?
