Gotta get it out in the open: Lovin' dis Remedy. This amp is so versatile, it's a total gas. Has a great tone, and I love the swift tone adjustment that a little tweak of either volume knob will do to add highs or lows, depending on your choice of twisty dial, or to crank up the nazz. Does clean. Does dirty. Does bright. Does dark. The thing rocks! And very responsive to your Tele's volume knob. Only had it less than a month, but loving it. I have a superb sounding vintage Marshall plexi (white plastic back plate) that is in for service. Soon to come: the A-B testing of these two dogs Mano y Mano. Will be interesting to see if the Rem really is very similar. Report to follow. (Hopefully by next week). Keep on rocking' in the free world.

Excellent! Although I must say, your constant praise of the Remedy makes those of us waiting for ours just a hair more rabid with each telling!

Guys, it's an amazing amp. It's about as perfect as they come. Thanks Shorty... This wait is getting excruciating! And it's only been 2 weeks....But I'm sure it will be well worth the wait to get my Remedy in "my" color...Blond w/ brown grill- ;D

What's with the waiting? I walked into Mass Street Music last week and just bought one... ...although I'm currently about two weeks out from having a speaker cabinet to plug it into! Had a Z 1x12 for a day, then returned it so I could order a Z-Best instead... Looks terribly lonely sitting there on the floor, all unplugged!

Hey Ty! Why don't you just give me paper cuts all over my body and dip me in a vat of lemon juice, while you're at it!

Haha sorry, couldn't resist! And many thanks! But why should we both wait? You're all invited over for dinner & drinks every evening until my stuff arrives. Only catch: bring the cab with.

Sorry guy.. Its to easy sometimes.. I need a cab for my poor lonely Remedy to sit on.. Makes you wish that stores had Z's just sitting and waiting for you like pretty much every Peavey Classic 30, Fender Hot Rod, or Marshall MG..

So, it's come to this. I wired up an Eminence 1258 I had laying about to a Switchcraft jack, just so I could play the Remedy a bit. Speaker sitting on the floor. Not optimal, but it gave me ten minutes of amusement.

gotmojo, I'm very interested to hear the results of your A/B testing between the Remedy and your Plexi. Please keep us informed.

Shore Nuff, Paul. Probably be next week. I'll start a new thread so it'll be easy to see and access.
