I know some of you from other forums. I very recently purchased a surf green Z-Wreck from Humbucker Music. I'm liking it quite a lot so far. It really sings clean. I play Rickenbackers more than others, but it seems to not mind whether I'm driving it with humbuckers, single coils, different guitar brands, numbers of strings, etc.
Great, so far. I thought I'd share that.

Welcome to the forum.
The Z-Wreck is a beauty if the volume doesn't make you cringe. I'm a home player and I really like the Z-Wreck at 9:00 to 10:00 o'clock. That's a little clean, but it sounds great with a Tele or Strat there and the volume is not loud at all.

Welcome aboard, congrats on the Z-Wreck. Love them Rickenbackers too.

Welcome. Entering Z world with a Wreck is very cool. Great amp.
If you want to access the high-volume tones but keep the beast on a leash, one of Z's passive attenuators (Brake Lite or Air Brake) will do the trick.

Thanks. Yes, I have a few Weber attenuators and they seem to help. Thankfully, this isn't my first loud amp and I don't live in an apartment. I am completely protective of my hearing (and my singing voice,) but I also like the way the amp sounds without too much attenuation. Working on the balance right now. I have a few speaker options, but it sounds pretty incredible through alnicos- I haven't been all that curious about other speakers, so far.

Yes, alnicos are great with the Wreck.

Nothing like starting at the top! (Not that the other Z's are at the bottom, they're just not Z-Wreck's) Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the warm welcome. This seems like a good forum.
Really enjoying the amp so far. I have owned a number of fantastic amps, and yes, none of them can do what this one seems to. One of the things I like about it is what I like about my maple bodied acoustic guitars: it just gives more of everything. I am going to try some different guitars this weekend.
