I ordered a blonde combo from Humbucker and it arrived yesterday. Set everything up, plugged in a guitar, and flipped the power switch. When I went to see what the power toggle was set to on the back I noticed ripped tolex and dented wood. I then ran and looked at the shipping box and there was a hole in the cardboard all the way through the foam... Humbucker in there awesome customer service ways responded immediately with 3 options. Long story short I have a black combo with the Wreck cloth on its way to me now! I dropped the damged one off at UPS today. Now to the important stuff, I put about and hour on it with my Nocaster before I boxed it back up. The Lux sounds amazing and HUGE! The reverb is perfect for my tastes and the speaker is a perfect fit. Fantastic tremelo and that 40 watt clean is fat and glorious. I had a JAZ when they first came out so it's nice to have these tones back again. I'll report back in a few days when I can play one again...

Not to worry, it's my understanding that the black ones with the Z-Wreck cloth have more mojo anyway!

When I first ordered one I pretty much flipped a coin between the two anyway. So black apparently was meant to be. I don't know how it could sound any better than the one I had for a few hours but you just might be right, that little bit of extra mojo just might take it over the top!

Going with the black is a big step for me, the Zs I own currently and have had In the past all have been blonde. The wife thought I was insane when I asked her if she felt the black combo would really look ok or if I should just wait the extra time for another blonde one.... I couldn't even imagine owning a red one, I guess it would be better than No Z at all!

Glad you at least got a healthy taste before sending it back! It's a great amp!

I forgot about this thread... I promptly received the replacement from Humbucker and as all the other reports have indicated this amp sounds incredible! It sounds great from lower volumes all the way up to the cranked up volumes. I am loving the trem and reverb. Very happy with this amp so far.
