Rik, it's just a great, great amp. I spent the afternoon with some of my Z's...Maz 8, Maz 18NR, Therapy (Z 1x12, Z12 speaker open back), and Z-Lux. I played my LP with humbuckers and switched between the 4 amps, tweaking them for different sounds and trying to decide which one I would keep if I had to sell three of them.
The winner hands down is the Z-Lux. There's a compelling, aggressive, sweet quality that this amplifier has that no other amp of any make I've ever played has. It manages to be sparkly but never ice-picky. It is huge in the bass without ever getting woofy. The midrange is voiced perfectly, I mean perfectly. There are so many tones in that amp, and ALL of them are good. I can't find a bad tone in that amp. I've said it before and I've got to repeat it. Fantastic amplifier.
Oh, I should add that I am running Tung Sol RI 5881s in the output section. I went through a dozen JJ6V6 tubes and they all rattled. Doc suggested these and I love them. The sound is very much the same, maybe a bit more muscular if you can imagine it. Very fat and sweet, they are a great fit for the amp. No bias changes were necessary, plug-n-play. I think I may order another couple of quads in case they change their recipe for the tube. Dang tube factories have no consistency nowadays. One thing's for sure, I'm keeping my Z-Lux.
