Other than the chassis is there any internal difference between an older SRZ and the new one being offered at 1799.00. Why are these so revered?
Impossible to find used ones. I don't need 65 watts, but it's my understanding that I can play this at small venues at low volumes. While still getting the best tones from the amp. Is that correct.
I know a lot of tone has to do with tubes etc. I've heard one of these compared to a Monza. Way different.
I'd have bought one already. Just concerned about the 65 watts

it has one the Best Master Volume Circuits EVER!!! Just cause your Corvette Speedometer says (160) MPH doesnt mean you have to run it that fast )) My SRZ is The Holy Grail, I dont know what the Diferences are the old and New But my old one sounds nothing like the LE's or RI's? Not aying they are less than or sound bad , its just something about that big ole long style head and the Tone that POURS froim it.!!! I recently did a gi that was a Brand new Venue Grand Opening here in my home town, HUGE stage nice size room, I took my Beloved Stangray, My Trusty 67' all original Super Reverb and the SRZ with My Marshall1x12 semi open back with a Celestion Gold! The SRZ was used and Man It was AMAZING! Its just Rips but will clean up as well! : ))))

I had the same concerns as you, but the SRZ-65 actually is more controllable (in my experience) than some of the other Z amps like the KT-45, Remedy and Monza, all of which almost need an Air Brake attenuator at small venues or for recording.
Like muzacman02 stated, the master volume is amazing. The SRZ-65 can get down to bedroom volumes with the master turned way down. Somehow it is still dynamic, touch sensitive and throaty, even at very low volumes. Now I will admit, the louder you take it, the better it sounds. My point is that turning it down doesn't hurt the tone like some master volume circuits...
I got a brand new one a few months back and am loving it!!! You shouldn't hesitate if you find a new or used one b/c of volume and as far as I have heard, the tonal differences between the new and old ones is pretty minimal.

Of the five Z amps I own, the SRZ-65 and RXJr are the only two I don't use w/ an attenuator. I even use the Air Brake on my MAZ Jr NR when I use it at a gig... and it's only 18 watts! The SRZ does not need an attenuator. It's MV is that good. As to the circuit differences, I have no idea. Contact Brent, or even the Doc himself. They'll give you the skinny.
