This thing was for sale locally reverb and 2 x 10 setup. The first thing I need to say is that YouTube videos of this amp do not show off it's nice clean tone at all. It's really nice. Unfortunately, I think it's too loud and heavy for my current needs, but wow. I wish some people who don't play roots rock or new country would show this amps other sides

Not sure how helpful this is, but there are some cleanish humbucker tones on this one. Started with the low input, which I use most of the time, then switched to the high input which for me works great when going for the higher gain sounds, but not so much on the cleaner sounds. Around 1:35 I switch back to the low input again, and mostly used that with the z drive pedal. That was set in a range where it would stay pretty clean if you hit the guitar softer and would crunch a bit if you hit it hard.
This one is just playing into the amp and fooling around with the controls.
Also, I don't think it has to be loud to sound good at all, it can be pretty quiet too. About the weight, the current 1x12 version is lighter than a Fender Deluxe Reverb.

I have an older (early 2000s) 2x10 with reverb. It is a heavy amp. Doc took pity on us aging rockers and came up with some great lighter weight cabs for many of the models.

Being a bedroom warrior with a house full of kids, I rarely have my Maz18NR cranked and love every minute of it. That said, when I can crank it, it’s tonal nirvana. Love the videos btw.

If the price is right pick that up and send it in for the mkii update. The master volume is phenomenal, it absolutely makes it a bedroom amp without ruining anything that makes it rock hard and loud when able.

The 2x10 with Z-10’s is a match made in heaven. Sold mine when we moved and miss it dearly; not that the Z-Plus disappoints. I just wish I had both.
