Enjoyed the latest video from Doc regarding testing used amps but also enjoyed seeing what I believe to be the first sighting (mine at least..) of the upcoming Z-28 with Master Volume! I'm hoping this means the new model is up and running and ready for release! Any new release date updates I may have missed?

I was there two weeks ago and saw the amp in action. Great sounding amp! He was just waiting for the faceplates to arrive. Doc was hoping to release by end of August so keep your eyes peeled - they're almost here! In addition to the MV, there also are some tweaks to the circuits to improve the sound (if that is possible!).

I’ll probably want a head. These will be very tempting.

Though I’d love to have the effects loop added to my z28, the MV is probably the single most important part of Mkii release for me. Hoping the upgrade RA comes out sooner than later! I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled since getting my z28 back (it’s #8 w/a blonde cab, brown Vox cloth, and gold piping). Once I find out how much the upgrade is, I’m going to then make a decision on having a matching 210 cab made by Mather.

I’m itchin to know as well if a new Z28 is going to be available soon. I owned a Z28 210 combo for awhile and now have a 2007 head and matching 112 cab. One of my favorite amps of all time but a MV would sure be awesome.

I think all we have to do is keep asking for it. I hope he doesn't make us beg for it, I have been running my 73 Silverface princeton into a Z 2x10 and loving the sound. My Princeton has been modded back to Blackface specs, but I really enjoy the sound of a "Brownface" amp, little more grit, and tighter than a Tweed.

You guys have to realize that the Z shop is extremely small. He has been working on the Jetta, the ZWreck Jr., the new JV with Carol-Ann, and the Z-28 MkII in addition to all the other amps that are in production (along with the Legacy builds). It amazes me that they are able to do what they do. He's not out to make people beg for things but rather he's just got a lot on his plate.

It's good to see evidence of a healthy demand. The Z-28 is my favorite Z but the way I use it (exclusively clean at home), the MKII changes aren't needed. Good to see this great design potentially get new life though.

Original when I bumped the thread, that is all I wanted to know. Is it a dead project or will we see it at some point, that's it.

In his defense Doc did give an estimated release of mid to late summer 2019. “I'm preparing for the Sweetwater gear fest June 21st. So it won't be till after that , mid to late summer I would guess.”-Doc So it appears it did take the back burner to some of the more recent debuts. It’s understandable though, I think the Z-Wreck jr. will do very well with sales.

Oh I would love this if they brought the '28 back with a MV!! That was the only thing that would have made the amp better than the original!
