Saw it.
So it looks like the 'Ray may come back at some point under a new moniker (and maybe with a 1/2 power switch 😎
Doc, you can put me on that list now. I 'll take a Strawberry Blonde head, please !

I recently purchased a Stingray here on Z Talk. I had it shipped to the Z shop for a check up before I took delivery. I have to say, the Z crew (Don) does a fantastic job. He went through the amp and even suggested the half power mod which I did. I am glad I did this.
Received the amp about a week ago and it sounds fantastic. It compliments my other Z’s perfectly. If you currently have a Stingray/Stangray, consider the half power mod. The amp isn’t really dirty but it will give up the goods at a more reasonable volume.
I am sure we will see this amp back again. It is too good to stay on the discontinued list.

The Ray is my favorite amp! The 2.0 new and improved Ray should be an amazing amp! 1/2 power seems to be in high demand. Effects loop? All 3 ohm outputs? Reverb like the Z-Plus? I might be pushing it with the verb. It should be a great one either way. Doc, Don and the Z team had one of my Ray's for a check up recently and it came back sounding even more AMAZING! Best service! Highly recommend!!! I'll be watching for this new Ray. Ron.

With me owning one of the original Stingray amps... It's going to be hard for me to want the 2.0, no matter what upgrades are on it.
Love my Ray!

I started working on it. It will be in the top mount Z wreck 1x12 cab with a Celestion Gold. hard to use a E/F loop on the top mount cab so I'll 86 the loop. But will have a half power switch , and 3 output taps, and sound AMAZING......

Hang on... It's possible to get a half-power mod done on the Stang Ray? I didn't see that mod listed on the Z site under 'Support > Mods and Services'. I see the Z-Wreck mod. If it's possible on a SR head then I'd have to strongly consider having this done.

I look forward to hearing feedback (no pun intended) when it's released 😎

Send Don an email repairs@drzamps.com and he will hook you up.

Probably won't be until after the summer is over but it sound like something that would be worth it to me. I plan on having this amp forever and using the crap out of it.

Plus Don will check your Z out electrically end to end and make sure it is good to go for a long time. Always nice to get an older amp checked out to keep it sounding as Doc intended it.

My First Dr.Z amp and I’m really enjoying it. Contrats - a great first Z! Welcome to the Forum - a lot of great people and information. I saw elsewhere you were inquiring about an original RX - great amps! By the way, where are you located? I've got one you could try if you haven't heard one and are near S. E. Michigan.

So Doc...
If/when you bring back the Stang Ray (or whatever it will be named), will it be offered in a head version as well? I'd would NEED to own one of those for sure!
