Can't wait to hear some samples. When can we see a Tremolo like that in a single unit, like the Z-Verb? You probably won't. The best amp tremolo in a lot of people's opinions is the kind that works on the power tubes as opposed to optocouplers (in the preamp section). For example, a lot of players dig the Fender "brownface" trem which is power tube over the "blackface" trem which uses optocouplers. For that reason it needs to be built into an amp. There's not a whole lot of benefit vs. cost and build time to do a stand alone tube tremolo.

It sounded like the amp was literally breathing. Very cool that the Doc put that on this amp. Dag-nabbit! I was just thinking maybe I'd retire from new amp purchases....

Eight knobs and ten tubes...
Doc, you ain't goin' all Mesa on us, is ya? :-)
Just kidding - I'd love to hear this amp. If you have them at Z Fest, you better bolt them to the floor.

Is the head going to look like the EZG then? Just assuming since the EZG combo has the same oval thing going on as the JAZ.

Doc always uses cabs/chassis for more than one amp to get the volume discount and make things easier. For example, the new EZG-50 combo shares the JAZ cab/chassis.

Will the head version have all the features as the combo,minus the Brake lite?

Wow Doc, you've been very busy. The specs on this thing feel like it's the last amp I'd ever need to buy.

I'm no giant user of reverb, but that tremolo has my saliva glands kicking in big time. I want to hear some clips of that thing...

it looks like a super cool amp and I can imagine just how sweet it'll sound! Red would be a hot looker in that combo configuration....

Heard it at Z-Fest; it is everything you could hope for. I sat there listening to Buddy play the JAZ with the biggest kid grin on my face. The tremolo is perfect.
