I'm really liking the Monza. I play in a Black Gospel (blues based) band. The MAZ Jr. was my amp for a long time, but the portability of this 1x10 Monza is changing that. It doesn't quite clean up the way the MAZ does, but it is a very reasonable tradeoff. Current settings are: V=9:30; D= 1:00; T= 1:00; MV=As high as I can get it! I do like to have the MV at least up to noon. I don't think I'm going to find myself in a situation where this amp is not loud enough. On bigger shows, I'm going to take my 1x12 Z cab with a G12H for more "air" pushing. As I've said before, the 1x10 Red Fang with the 1x12 G12H is just a killer combination. I know that Matchless did a 10" speaker combined with a 12" speaker in a combo. I think this would be a great combo in a Z amp as well, especially in a Monza!

Hey Russell, I'm so glad the amp is working out for you. I like the combination of settings you are using. I used to run my volume up closer to 11 and the MV was always in the 9 oclock range! I have a combo cab with a V30 in it for a while, sounded good too, I think G12H would be wonderful with that amp and would certainly move some air!! Okay, we need to hear your Gospel band, please get us some recordings, sounds like a blast!! God bless, Todd

I'll unleash the monster on the band today for the first time. Summer has been crazy, so we've not practiced since I got the Monza. They will be blow away both literally and figuratively.

The Monza blew the band away. I have my first gig with it next Saturday unless I have to use the back line amps. More to come!

Sweet! Glad to hear.
I have been messing with diff pedals with my Monza - I still prefer it straight in, but if set "monza clean" some ODs don't sound too bad. A boost is nice too.
But honestly? Love it by itself the most.

the master volume on this amp has made so much difference in what it can be used for, really fun to crank up too!

I'm still amazed at just how well that MV works.
