Just traded my Mazerati. Great amp. Undervalued amp. No one would buy it for a reasonable price so I traded it. Going to a good home. Here's my review after owning it 7 years. Was just playing it and noted. I have come a long way in my playing. Can wring great tones out of amp. Made the mistake of buying it when I was just starting out. This amp rewards the "tone is in the fingers" player; and is very touch sensitive. Pick lightly and the notes ring. Smack the strings and get great Class A crossover distortion. Sounded best with Mullard RI's and JJ's. Did JJ/stock GT mismatch powertube thing for a while- sounded decent. Bought some Sovtek EL84's as backups- UGH. Don't go there, guys. Should have listened to Dr. Z himself. Sounded best with a Alnico Blue/GH30 combo or a 30 watt Scumnico. Dr. Z has probably one of best customer service ethics. I had two minor issues. Responded quickly and I got it sorted out right quick. Will sign off, with some lyrics written for my amp. If you happen to pop in Neil Young's Greatest Hits while you are reading them, should make more sense.

My amp is gone, but it's not forgotten. This is a story 'bout my Mazerati.
It's better to trade it, than to give it away. Bye, Bye, Hey, Hey.
Bought it from a West Coast glitterati, said his buddy also gigged a 'rati.
It's better to trade it, than to give it away. Bye, Bye, Hey, Hey.
Played it lot, thought it sounded great. Plenty loud, when it's dialed above eight.
It's better to trade it, than to give it away. Bye, Bye, Hey, Hey.
Over time, my tastes turned to metal, Couldn't get there, not even with a pedal.
It's better to trade it, than to give it away. Bye, Bye, Hey, Hey.
Traded to a player in a rock'n'roll band, lives out West in the Big Sky land.
It's better to trade it, than to give it away. Bye, Bye, Hey, Hey.
