I got to play it at a gig without an attenuator over the weekend and was completely blown away! Turned up to about 10:00 (or slightly above) and it just gave me goose-bumps all night. Sound man complimented on it, of course, and the guitar geeks were impressed and all wanted to talk about it on break, lol.
This amp makes me want to play, can't wait until next weekend!

I'll be doing an outdoor gig this Sat night... I'll have that VOLUME dialed at around 12 or 1...
It's gonna sound huge!

I have a gig this Saturday but it's indoors and the stage volume needs to be relatively tame. Using a THD Hotplate but at least I'm still using my Z Wreck!

hey telejas, does that bad boy give the snappy cleans at volume like your old stangray? I want a wreck BAD!!! I miss my RAY DEARLY, and when I had the Ray I could always get it into Wreck territory "with a Lil Help" ala timmy bb etc.... congrats on your new amp and the love for be inspired to play play play!!!! The Wreck has a super NICE clean tone, and that's where I use it 99% of the time, but it's not like the Ray. While they will both cover the same "type" of clean, it's not exactly. The Wreck doesn't have that massive low end that the Ray has and it has a stronger mid-range than the Ray. BUT... The Wreck has some extra "feel" and sustain to it when it gets up past 9:00 that the Ray just doesn't have, also it's a little more compressed where the Ray is more "open" and bouncy. The guy I traded with says he liked the Ray because it sounds better at lower volumes than the Wreck. I played both fairly loud, so I can't comment too much on this. The Wreck also doesn't have as much clean headroom... They both start getting grit around 10:00, but the Wreck gets dirtier faster past that where the Ray is more of a gradual increase. Last thing.....The Ray "seems" louder, but that may be because of the extra low end? Not that the Wreck is a quite amp, on the contrary - it's a LOUD amp, but I just seem to remember the Ray being louder and having to use the attenuator set an extra notch down when I used it. I love both and would have a hard time picking my favorite, but I'm pretty sure I like the Wreck better. I'll say this...My Valvetech Hayseed has been my favorite amp for the past 6 years, even more so than my Stangray. The Hayseed moved into 2nd place when I got the Wreck

I used a gold Z 1x12 for a long time but I found it to be too bottom/Mid Heavy, The greens and an old 12-65 celestion were the ticket for me, Everything you described is what Im wanting, I have been selling stuff lately so I can get the funds together , Hopefully the combos will be offered in COLORS like RED by then , or Quantum Silver!!!!

I did an indoor gig the other night with my head and 1x12 cab... all I can say is it just inspires you to play... I had compliments on the tone and how you could hear every single note! Don't get better than that!
