The exorcism was successful. It sounds great--spent the last couple of hours noodling around with various pedals and a Strat, and it's just stellar. Tried it with a Velvet Fuzz and the effect is almost horn-like--pretty extraordinary. So, thanks, Doc, for expelling the evil spirits that had possessed my Z-Lux--it's in great shape now and sounding better than ever. It's like an expertly hot-rodded version of the best amp you've ever played, basically.

Any insight from the shop into what was wrong?

I figured something was wrong when I didn't read these comments weeks ago when you first got the amp. Sounds like you'll be able to enjoy it now~
Congrats on the best Z to date in my ears...

Any insight from the shop into what was wrong? I really don't know, Mike, and didn't ask--but I do know that he replaced the entire chassis. So something pretty serious, I guess.

This may be the case--it's certainly a whole different amp--literally, almost--from the defective one I brought home from Dave's last month. Could be there's some extra-special glass in this critter--wouldn't surprise me.

Can't stop playing this thing. Awesome amp. We've got a little one-set gig at the end of the month--definitely going with the Lux. What I lack in chops I'll totally make up for in tone.
