I had to get them to ship mine for a Friday delivery. I’ll be out of town on Business until Friday. I’m sure I’ll be running everyone out of the house over the weekend.

Now we're talking with gas! Especially love the everything at noon setting, and the last bit with the V cranked. Also, hilarious choice on "Ghost Riders"--we did that one for our Halloween show and it was a hoot!

That's such a cool demo, and really useful to hear the other sounds this amp is capable of, instead of just the popular slightly breaking up country tones.
Loved the last bit where they showed how effective the master volume is with achieving huge amounts of gain at really low bedroom volume, it sounds so full and mean, the doctor has surely knocked this one out of the park!

Also notified--hoping it gets here Thursday, in time for rehearsal! I'm thinking I'll probably sell off my Tonemaster Deluxe and a few pedals and get me a Jetta, too. That thing smokes! In a good way!

That's a good plan, Jon.

That was my plan as well, I already have the Jetta, just waiting on Jr's arrival!
Great job on the video Doc!

I was surprised to see that L&M actually has it (combo) on their website as available for reservation with a March 2020 ETA

When one of you guys gets yours can you please, please post a rock demo (chords mostly) with a les paul and the gain turned up? Leads don’t really tell me much about an amp other than touch sensitivity, and that’s a given with Zs. Chords really tell the story for me and would love to hear what this amp can do.

It will be Saturday before I can do it though.

I was too Keith, I'm told they have a few heads already on order as well. One of those has been flagged for me!

I actually looked at ordering a Jr today and noticed that L&M is listing the combo as in stock! I'm impressed with L&M that they are on the leading edge on the Jr !

What? Wow! I just gigged with mine tonight. I thought it was WAY different than any Z I have. Really dynamic.

"Amp sounds good, but I wouldn't recommend it"?
I'm genuinely interested in why you said this, and the reasons behind your statement, as it's the first dissenting voice regarding this new model.
I get that no amp is suitable for everyone, but you must have researched it and listened to the video demos before purchasing, so I'm interested to hear how it differed in real life from your expectations.

Well it does sound the same as the original Z Wreck. Which is dynamically and sonicly different then any other Z amp.

I've just spent the weekend A/B-ing the Wreck Jr with my Z-Lux, and while they're both great amps, they're not even close to sounding the same. The same could be said about the Wreck Jr and the EZG, the M-12, the Z-28, and most of the other Z amps I've owned. Because it's got a similar power section, it does have some DNA in common with the Ghia and the Maz 18, and maybe some other EL-84-driven amps, but I think it's superior to most in terms of feel and tone (I haven't spent much time with the Maz MkII, though, so there's that). Everybody's ears are different, YMMV and we can't all like the same things, but the Wreck Jr's a keeper as far as I'm concerned.

Everybody's ears are different, YMMV and we can't all like the same things, but the Wreck Jr's a keeper as far as I'm concerned. Yep, which is why I ordered the Jr., as that is the sound I am after. Puzzled by the comments as well, because in my limited experience not owning a Z amp before, but having played a Maz 18, Gia and an original Wreck - they all sound very different to my ears from a sonic perspective. I'd like to also know how you go from being clearly very excited to not wanting to recommend the amp to anyone in just a few days. Everyone's tastes are different of course and that's the beauty of having several amps to choose from. Heck, over time it's completely normal to get bored of the same tone, or having that feeling like you are missing something and then the GAS begins. Tastes and ears can/will change, but never have I seen it happen this fast (at least in my experience fwiw). Puzzling indeed.
