We got our first combo in today and I am blown away. As a reference I am long time Z dealer and my main amp is an RX ES which I use mostly as a pedal platform and I couldn't say enough good things about it. The Wreck Jr. is obviously a different beast than the RX ES but I definitely need one now. My favorite thing about the Z Wreck has always been that pushed over the edge tone that BP gets live. Unfortunately playing in clubs in Boston I'd be kicked right out onto the street turning my amps up that loud. I have tried the attenuator thing and while it helps, it wasn't quite the same for me. In walks the Wreck Jr. and WOW! This amp sounds incredible at any volume...set clean, set dirty, it doesn't matter. The feel and tone is there no matter where you have it set. Even at it's gainiest setting, roll the volume back and you're back into country land. I have Chris coming in tonight and we'll be shooting a demo so if anyone wants to hear any specific settings/sounds, post em below and I will do my best! - Jay

I want to hear some blues with the amp volume around 2:00. Strat, Tele, LP with P90s....any of those. I look forward to it.

Hey Jay, great to hear. Here is what I'm being asked a lot, does it have enough gain for Rock applications? So maybe an LP, with the Volume turned up and rock out, then roll of the guitar volume pot down and show it's Trainwreck DNA as it cleans up.

Can you run a reverb after it to see how it will sound in the demo. I know Paisley demos the Z Wreck with a Z Verb and it sounds great. I will definitely be using a pedal reverb with my junior when I get it and was hoping you can test that in your video.

While we're making requests--how 'bout with a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone in front of it? You know, to, uh... show how it... Oh, nevermind. Sorry, it's Friday and I'm in one of those moods again. Seriously, though, this might be one of Doc's smartest amp releases ever (and he's already a Doctor!).

Would also like to hear how loud it can get, and still be clean-ish, before it starts to break up. Versatility is important to me!

This may be a bold statement, but I think this may be the best Z amp I have ever heard 😎

I'm thinking when mine arrives I'll do an iPhone demo with a touch of delay--something basic like a TC Flashback mini--a Gain Changer and an OCD--pedals that are pretty common out there in guitar-land. For me a big selling point for an amp is always how does it interact with pedals, and as an owner/player, where are the optimal settings for use with pedals, etc.

The full HD video will have a longer reverb pedal clip!

The amp has LOTS of gain with hot humbuckers. I was fairly shocked actually. Pinch harmonics, squeals, you name it.

Here’s a video of the gain tones I mentioned. Be gentle.
