It's seems like this thread is more of a ghost town than the Mini Z one!
Got a KT incoming so just checking out what the word is on this amp...

Or you could be like me and have a Mazerati, KT45, Route 66 and Z28 and have very little discourse with owners because those threads are sparsely populated.
I think you'll like the KT, particularly if you play clean a lot and/or use it as a clean platform for pedals. To me it has a very complete and versatile sound (I use it with 2x12 Vin 30 cab and/or 1x12 Mesa C90 cab, both open backed). Also it's hard to believe that you would need more power, and it stays clean until it's almost on the proverbial "11" setting of all three knobs. An added benefit is that it works pretty well for bass.
As you can tell from my Z inventory, I'm a real fan of the ef86 front end, although I find the Rati a superb amp for rock and consider its tone control not only a wonderful practical tool on the bandstand, but also a real work of art.

There's not much to say, we're too busy loving and playing a great amp.

Hey Y'all - Glad I checked out this thread! Once I heard John Mayall/BW's version of 'Going Down' was a KT and 335, I was sold. Got one incoming tomorrow...

Holy schmokes! This amp cooks! Only had 5 minutes with it but through a Z Best/LP Jr it was just singing. Can't wait to gig this one.
This is one of the Doc's hidden gems for sure...glad I picked this up over the RT66. (I still may need one of those too, of course!)
