Thanks. The reviewer seems to have actually used the amp!

Nice review but the build quality should have had 5 picks.

Nice review but the build quality should have had 5 picks. I thought the same too! My 18 is built so much better than some of the other stuff out there today.

Isn't the street price wrong as well?

The boys at UG jumped on me when I posted about the new Maz 8. They cant get past the 8 watts, and the price. They were telling me for a few bucks more you could get the Maz Jr. Maz 8 head = 1,599.00 Maz 18 head with reverb = 1,699.00 Told them about the Pentode/Triode mode, it didn't win many points. Tough Crowd... They don't understand about how loud 8 Z amps can be. But then again, it's a younger crowd, that most think they need 50 watt amps, and looking to buy for about $300 bucks.

The boys at UG jumped on me when I posted about the new Maz 8. . . . <snip> . . . looking to buy for about $300 bucks. Heh. 6 or 8 $300 purchases and a few years and maybe they will wonder why you are happy and they are not . . . . .

There was a similar jughead response at TGP... Something about cost per watt. Morons.

Most also have a mind set there, that 18 watts is not enough to gig with. They have threads running all the time... I am going to be playing live, what is the minimum amounts of watts I need, and 30 or more usually comes back. If I were to post you can gig just fine on 18 watts, a flame war will most likely follow. If I were dare say the 8 would do OK playing live in smaller venues, I could only imagine. It's the Wild West over there, that I am glad most of the stuff they post, wouldn't fly over here...

Great amp and review the triode mode on the 8 is just stellar.

There was a similar jughead response at TGP... Something about cost per watt. Morons. We could explain to them the logarithmic nature of human hearing, that you need to drop a sound pressure level by 10 dB to perceive something as half as loud, and that cutting amp wattage in half (all else being equal) produces only a 3 dB drop. We could explain that tone and loudness are unrelated, go into the Fletcher-Munson effect and explain why bass amps need to be hundreds of watts while guitar amps can be 8 watts. We could explain it to them, but we can't understand it for them.

The review was a little fluffy for my taste, but the praise is well deserved. I've been using the Maz 8 since early December and it has yet to disappoint.
