You see, initially I meant not to do it. I told myself "I don't need yet another amp and I'll wait and see what Doctorice has to say about this new amp when it comes out and have patience and maybe get one down the road".
But, dang it, then the marketing genius of Doc worked its magic with the new page on the website saying things like "sweetest top end" and "high end shimmer" and "punchy lows" and for-crying-out-loud it has KT66 tubes and I don't have a single amp with those in there and I shoulda held onto that Route 66 I had a few years ago but I didn't and even though it's 45 watts I can always run it through an Air Brake and I don't wanna take that old Plexi of mine out to gigs even though I'm not actually gigging now but what if I do in the near future when I eventually quit this friggin' day job and what if I get hit by a meteor and die in the next few weeks and never get to try one and I already had enough money in my PayPal account from selling off other gear and so I ordered the black one from Humbucker cause I have no self control and I'm an addict and it has a presence knob.
jj
and so it goes.
right now i feel i have the big boy pants to handle this amp, but i worry that i'm really not that far away from trading in the big boy pants for some depends and i'm afraid then they'll make me turn the amp back in.

Same problem here. I don't know whether I need an Antidote or a psychological exam. Last week my sound man told me to point my ZWreck Cab away from the audience so that he could get me more in the out front. So I did and just isolated it off stage. That hurt because it's such a beautiful cab. Now it's off stage attenuated down also, so I said to myself. Self, why don't you just try a lower wattage amp. So I bought me a Z28 and it sounded great also. So I was planning on selling the Wreck because I need the money, but then I made mistake an hooked it it at the house and A/B'd it with the Z28. The Wreck sounded "so good" and the Z28 sounded "so good". Now I have two great sounding amps and no money.
You're a Doctor, Doc....Tell me what I'm supposed to do. I want an Antidote so bad!

"...........what if I get hit by a meteor and die in the next few weeks and never get to try ...........and it has a presence knob....." Don't fret, brother, I've bought a few Dr.Z amps with less justification than that^^^^^^ !!!!!! I bought a Z-Wreck just because MarkT told me to!

there is never a rational justification for buying another amp. Is there anything rational at all in making music? Congrats jj! pure emotion...that's why life is worth living

Congrats on a worthy investment! Lol! I have a strong feeling that many will have to get some depends once they crank the Antidote up and hit there first power chord!

Course, I haven't told my wife I yet. Then again, it hasn't shipped yet, so there's no real need to tell her, ...... yet. Is there some slight chance I can sneak it in? Will wait and see. Is it actually a sin to simply omit telling her something new arrived?
I think not. It's only an omission.
jj
and it was, after all, paypal money, not out of any known account! not even like real money. more like a gear swap. that i came out ahead on. as in: "i just traded a bunch of shite for an antidote"!

Lol...I would let her know in a subtle, witty way like putting a bed pillow and blanket on the couch and seeing if she 'gets it' ! Keith

Congrats on a great purchase. You do know that "doctorice" is one of Z's pseudo names right?!
