Been AWOL around here for a while. My mother in law passed away tragically in May and I've been working hard to close out her estate. anyway, I digress...
I had been playing an M12 which I loved, and still do. but started listening to matt schofield and kind of fell in love with his tone. much of that tone comes from a two rock crystal. so like many of us, I sold the M12 found an amazing deal on a TW Crystal and jumped in. I have to say that the Crystal is one great amp, but something about it just didn't feel quite as organic as every Z I have ever owned.
So today, I was looking at the Chicago Music Exchange website and they had a Z-Lux head for a great price. I called them up and before you know it we have struck a deal. so as of tomorrow, they will have a two rock headed their way and I will have a Z-lux headed toward me.
Gotta tell you, I am pretty excited! there are so many great comments here about the lux that it just has me rarin' to go again.
should have it next week sometime and I will certainly post my thoughts.
thanks and look forward to having a Z back in the barn!

That speaks volumes about Z Amps.
I was just talking about that last night, the cost of Two Rock Amps vs. others.
The Z Lux should be sweet

Never played the Two Rock, but the Z-Lux is probably one of the best amplifiers ever. You will not be disappointed.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother in law. I hear you on the z amps organic tone. I tried a mesa boogie and sold it quickly. It completely sucked I Compared to any Z amp I have owned and played. The Z-Lux is the cream of the crop. Its the only amp I have right now. But it's so good I don't need another amp. I can't wait to hear your thoughts about it once you play through it. Congratulations!

Congrats on the Z- lux. I was going to drive down and check out that very head. Looks like you saved me some money. Enjoy.

I'm another one who will be interested in your feedback. Been an admirer of Matt Schofield's playing for some years, and while I'm not chasing his tone, I do love his style, and if the Z-Lux helps you get into that tonal ballpark I'd be keen to know. Good luck with your new purchase!
