I have completely changed my Z amp setup got to pm-ing with pintail78 here is my response to his question on the two amps
Took them both out over the weekend on a gig here is my setup
RT66 & Stang Ray
1x12 –Gold small Dr Z rectangular cab
Paisely Drive,BB, RC Boost EH Reverb Micro
Guitars Used
ES 335
Am Tele
I switched between sets playing Country and Classic Rock
RT 66 with 5r4gby rectifier …
Simply Fantastic for that nice distortion sound the clean sound was great not as sparkly as the Z 28 but that is a function of the larger bottles (KT66’s) Volume at 11 Bass and Treble at noon
ES 335/Tele nice classic rock sounds cleans are great with either one IMHO…
Xotic BB Gain 11 Bass Noon Treble noon great sound ..open mids clear distortion
Paisely Drive Gain 11 Tone 9 both switches down for both guitars (tried the switches in other positions ok but settled on all down as the best sound for me …)
I know BP like the gain at about 1 o’clock but it sounds to distorted here for me ….
RC Boost gave the amp a nice clean boost did not even distort the amp at all nice for clean soloing….
Stang Ray GE 12at7 for PI
This amp has great cleans nice chime and the tone is fantastic distortion had to move my knobs around on the pedals but when you find the sweet spot it’s gorgeous
Great Chime with the Tele although it seemed a little thin even on the HI input but my pickups are set really low will have to raise them up for the next gig
Thought my ES 335 really shined with this amp also got some nice overdriven tones in the HI input and cleaned up nice in the Lo input
Xotic BB same as above but turned down treble to about 10
Paisely Drive same as above also liked the Presence switch up
RC Boost same as above but treble down to about 10 o’clock
Both amps are spectacular it will be hard to decide which one to keep …so I’ll keep both I think ….hope this helps
