Got a head and bought a Celestion blue and put it in a old style Z 1x12.
Very impressed so far. It's very smooth and fat. The bass response is pretty damn unreal, particularly for a 18 watt amp. It's the old style without the eq bypass. My local dealer had it laying around in inventory.
It sounds great through my Zwreck cab as well. I need to hear it at a gig to really see what it can do. here are it's first notes!

The reverb circuit seems to just smooth out things...imho...definitely a worthy addition.

I gigged a head exactly like yours for years. Best gigging amp ever IMHO. Congrats , great choice! (And I had the black small-box 1 x12 cab too)

I agree, nice picking' and great sound. I have that same cab under my Maz also, and I love everything about it other than having to stand on my head to see what I'm doing tweaking knobs. But I'm working on a solution for that...
You mentioned the bass response was good. Are you getting any low end flub out of the Blue?
Oh, and where did you have the reverb set in that demo if you remember?

Oh, and where did you have the reverb set in that demo if you remember? No Flub at all. Just thick bass. The speaker is brand new so it may need to open up more. i had the reverb 9:00. Funny, the first thing I noticed is I can't see the knobs!

I sure like those old rectangular cabs otherwise though. They sound great, look great and are oh-so-easy on the ol' back!
