I Have had my Remedy for 19 mos. and love it....but would a good second amp be a little MONZA 1x10 combo for grab and go w/FIRE power ?

Yes and I love em both, but since the Monza is newest, I'm playing it more. I use my Zs mostly for rehearsal recordings. I always play with ear protection which means I can't hear what's going on. I don't get excited until I hear the recordings. Fair warning, protect your ears!

IMO, it will depend on what zone you tend to run the Remedy in. If you lean toward the clean side, the Monza does not have a ton of clean headroom, so you may not be able to replicate what you do with the Rem. But if you mainly use the Rem with higher settings of the vol knobs, the Monza combo likely will put a big smile on your face. (Backing off the guitar volume a lot will still give you nice cleanish tones on the Monza.)

Thanks guys ;D I use it lower volume w/ an OD and as Java boost. I use my volume on the guitar a lot, but for clean/od I think the REMEDY kills... Just for an od only amp the Monza would be killer too ( and not to mention GRAB-and-GO). I just love the Dr Zs stuff...

I was doing some testing yesterday. I set the Monza tone to max, drive to min and had volume around 10 (o'clock). That's probably about as clean as the Monza is going to be. The Remedy clean is much stronger, in my view: more headroom, brighter sound -- the Monza has a midrange push -- and more "range" to its EQ, which is no surprise given the 3-knob EQ.
If you like running the Remedy fairly clean, a Monza with the drive control up and volume and tone to taste will give you a nice complement. If a smaller package version of the Remedy clean is what you're after, I think the Z-28 (1x10?) may be the ticket.

If I'm gonna have both the Remedy/Monza may be the ticket.
