I've been thinking about it. But is there really that much of a huge difference between the two?

Theres a somewhat noticeable difference (if you have really picky ears) but my JAZ ain't going nowhere Through the same speakers, the difference is pretty slight, provided you don't kick the Z-Lux into bypass mode. Then there's a noticeable change!

Then there's a noticeable change! Yeah that would definitely be the biggest difference

Yeah that would definitely be the biggest difference So I'm good keeping the jaz Then and saving a boat load of money and if I want a boost I'll continue using my overdrive pedals.

That's the reason I converted to a head. I can't imagine there being much weight difference in those. Also by the time I get it in the road case I'm sure I can't tell any. My JAZ is staying.

If that sneaky Dr. Z hadn't crafted a special lightweight cab and new speaker, I would have gone the head route on the Z-Lux.

Yeah that would definitely be the biggest difference How would you guys describe the difference between the Zlux and the 20/40 in that mode? I've been considering a 20/40... but unsure...

Pretty sure the new combo-cab is redesigned & lightweight, whereas the head-cab is the "standard" recipe. Doc's web page shows that the Z-Lux head weighs 35 lbs., whereas the combo is only 7 lbs. more, at 42 lbs. Man, it'd be hard to justify the head for "portability" at that rate--I don't know of any speaker cab that weighs only 7 lbs!

Its heavy, worth every ounce of effort. I can;t understand why I never checked this amp out before. I have a feeling they are going to dissappear on the used market..Glad I grabbed one , and I don;t even know why, wasn;t looking. Had a LP that was doing nothing, a great LP at that. Curtis got that, I got the JAZ...great deal all the way around. I have 3 that after more than a dozen I think I am going to stay with MAZ38NR, Therapy and JAZ 1-12. I may even part with some of my old fenders...as for the last 10 years I have used only my special Fender that never was...the rest of the time its Z...At first I had someone ask me if it was a Zenith amp..now I get...mannn I really want one of those. Hard to convince someone to spend the money...it will save you thousands in the long run. We have no dealer here and I try to tell folks, makes no difference, just buy it. If you don;t like it you can swap for the cost of shipping and maybe a couple hundred or most of the time even up. Its a great thing. Maybe Doc ought to use that in his sales pitch..spend some save thousands as your amp search is over...(we won;t mention the addiction part)...lol.Love this JAZ. If I were to get ONE more...it would be another Z28....love that amp. I know this has been asked before but does anyone know how many of the JAZ were made, and how long the actual run was? ...not important, just curious. I used to see them now and then...now its more then...they are not coming up for sale...The Beat Goes On.

When eq bypass is engaged the Z-Lux has a more rounded sound, more mids, becomes more touch sensitive and is louder. I once inquired about doing the bypass on the JAZ -- this was prior to the Z-Lux being introduced -- and the Z team said it could be done. I don't know if they'd still be willing, but I gather it's not a difficult task if you're handy with electronics. Also, you can get a bit closer, but not all the way there, by setting all the eq knobs full on and then adjusting from there. With eq up, you're getting minimal attenuation of signal as it goes through the tone stack. At least that's how I understand it.

Maybe put a variable negative fb knob on the 16th outjack. Have one on my 66sr in the ex speaker jack...big difference...between that and a boost pedal just might take it to a new level...I love it just as it is so no mods in near future.
