I NEED one, but nobody seems to have them in stock. Kinda crying a little over here (wiping tears from my eyes even as I type). Hoping Doc’s team can catch up with the demand very soon, but I’ll be patient and cry myself to sleep each night until they come in.
BTW, these past couple of days I’ve renewed my habit of turning on multiple amps and setting ‘em up for about the same volume and doing comparisons and I must say .... that the four I had up today (Wreck, DB4, Nova and Cure) we’re just all freaking awesome. Each and every one simply excellent and though any one of them could take care of all my amp needs, I can’t justify selling one off to make a Wreck Jr not seem like an extravagance, because I just can’t stand to get rid of an excellent amp. So ...... I’m just gonna have to be extravagant and get a Wreck Jr, and have five combos to be astounded by. Sadly, my vintage amps are getting no loving anymore, because Doc’s amps do the very thing I used to use vintage amps to do. Seems kinda repetitious, but once again, tip o’ the hat, from me to you, Doc. Thank you, sir.

Well thanks for the kind words jj. Jeez even I'm working everyday building Z Wreck Jr.s , and we can't seem to catch up. A good problem for us to have, but I understand the frustration in waiting. All I can say the waiting will be worth it, and we are building Z Wreck Jr.'s as fast as we can. We have the parts, we have the manpower, a totally hand built guitar amp just takes time to assemble , test and ship.

The wait is indeed worth it! I'm amazed at my Wreck Jr. every time I play it.

I love the Wreck and the DB4 for concert in the park shows and bigger stages. But those two together are pretty loud!

My Z Wreck Jr. should be here tomorrow, gig tomorrow night too so I can't wait to try it out. Our other guitar player has the Z Wreck!! I'll try and get some video of the two amps going at it to share.

We have the parts, we have the manpower, a totally hand built guitar amp just takes time to assemble , test and ship. Z I hear you, good Doctor. I saw your post about folks out sick last month. I’ll be patient, cause I’m still absolutely in love with the Wreck I have, probably the most versatile amp I’ve ever owned or will ever own (notwithstanding the Jr equaling it thusly)! Don’t rush yourself or worry your pretty little head about us waiting, Speaking for myself only, I can stand the anticipation. Its kinda funny, this recent realization that your amps do exactly what I bought 1950’s amps to do is a real mind opener for me. My ‘53 twin and ‘60 tweed Deluxe are great, but your amps do exactly that thang but with WAY more flexibility, volume wise and tone manipulation wise. And your new lightweight cabs also match the ease of the old amps. And yours are more reliable, and very reasonably priced. I never thought I’d say it, but I’m so tempted to sell off most of these old amps, as I hardly ever use them, except to compare to your amps to remind me that , yep, that tone is right here in this Z. (It’s the troof: I am not plugging for an ambassador position with your company here.) jj

gotmojo...do you still have the 1x10 ghia? Yup, still have that lil monster. Not getting much love of late, with all these “new” amps in tow. Been leaning hard on the Nova, and the DB4. And the Cure is sweet, but losing time to these others. And now that I’ve gotten over my total addiction to the Nova, I’ve renewed my love affair with the Wreck once again. To many amps, not enough time. It’s a good problem to have. jj

Got the Z wreck jr today!! Oh boy is this amp good. I've been playing for the last hour straight and love it. Gig tonight will give me a good idea, hard to tell sitting here without the drums and bass going. I think I have a setting dialed in to use tonight with no pedals!! Just using the volume control on my tele and pick attack to change tone. I'm playing in a country band tonight, we do everything from Johnny Cash, Keith Whitley to Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, Kentucky Headhunters, Jason Aldean. Our lead singer (great guitar player too) has the Z wreck so this should be fun! Doc, if you're not busy, we're not too far from you, Avon Lake OH., good opportunity to hear the two Z Wrecks side by side. I'll post tomorrow and try and get some video to share.

Hope they are doing better now. Just pre-ordered mine at Humbucker yesterday. No rush on the amps, it is certainly worth the wait. Until then my MAZ 8 is keeping me company!

I love it. Took it out Friday night to the gig and it sounded fantastic. I dialed it in before so I could play with no pedals, just using volume control on my tele and toggle switch to change tone. The first two sets went great, love the sound and could do everything I needed it to do. Last two sets I pulled out my Wampler Hot Wired pedal and it sounded even better!! If you're on the buffer about this amp don't be, you won't be disappointed. I plugged my Les Paul in the Z Wreck Jr. today and what a great sound! My Gibson never sounded better. Tight, full, powerful tone is all I can say. I watched all the online demo videos on the Jr. but you have to hear it in person to appreciate this amp.
