Well thanks to Shortyz needing a new Tele I am about to join the ranks of Mini Z owners. I can't wait for it to get here. Everything I have heard about them leads me to believe that now it will be even harder to quit playing all the time! Thanks Shortyz ;D

Well it took me a few days but I think I have this dialed in where I like it and it is amazing. I can't believe how full this 8 inch speaker sounds. Blows away any other small amp like this (even a champ etc) that I have ever heard!

I miss her already. It's a great little amp with a huge sound. I'm glad you're enjoying the Mini.

I have a combo on the way. Can't wait to get a "mini me" for my GT. This will be great for practice and jam sessions.

Once you get it try it through an Ext speaker cab if you have one. It is fantastic. I bought an ABY switch now and have been using it with my Maz Jr and boy is it fun. Great tone really cool to play with combining the 2. Now I just wish I had the time to find some guys and start playing out of the house again

I got my Mini Z combo today, what a big sound for such a little amp. I spent about an hour with it, man this thing has some gain. I wanted this for a little jam amp, something small to drag to basement jams. I knew there was not a lot of clean headroom in this when I bought it but I was determined to squeeze a little more out. I played it for about ten minutes with the stock tubes, then changed the EL84 to a NOS Tesla (not JJ) and played with a few 12AX7's and 5751's. I settled on a NOS Jan GE 5751 Triple Mica Greyplate. Really great sound, great harmonics, very warm, and cleans the amp up some. I have noticed that the volume is much like the GT's volume knob, after a certain point it's not getting any louder just increasing the gain. I did get a little more headroom out of it with the 5751, I can now get to about 10-11:00 before the amp gets a little hair on it. I also talked to Ted Weber about the speaker. These amps come with a Weber ceramic signature 8, he recommended an 8S for a little more clean sound. I will let you know how this turns out, I am debating between the alnico and the ceramic 8S. This is a great little amp right out of the box, but is really proving easy to modify just enough to suit my needs exactly. I see a lot of fun times coming with this amp. ;D ;D
