Just wanted to share some enthusiasm and thanks for the maz38-nr2 having been born.
I've been messing around with pedal board configurations and just trying different things, like you get and idea and implement it, then you figure out where you went wrong despite your best intentions and knowledge. Anyway, consider the base platform being the maz38 into a Z 1x12 with a Celestion gold with a strat. Low input, gain maybe a hair above 9pm, master 10-11 pm with room to spare both gain wise and master volume wise.
Pedals:
Gain - Origin effects Cali 76 Stacked Edition (compressor), Halcyon (tube screamer), and Revival Drive (overdrive like old cranked Marshall).
Modulation - Boss Waza CE2 chorus and Waza VB2 Vibrato, Fulltone choral flange set to what sounds like a fast Leslie.
Delay - Strymon El Capistan.
Other - Z eq bypass switch.
It is flipping stunning. Every pedal sounds utterly fantastic, and there's a myriad of variations within the combinations. Chain is guitar to compressor (has a buffer) into Fulltone pedal (set true bypass), loop 1 holds the Boss chorus and vibrato (amp is a little louder with that loop engaged and those pedals bypassed, loop 2 holds the revival and halcyon pedals, then into the Strymon and then amp. It's a huge 3d sound, so much so that reverb just isn't a need in any way. It's hard to describe, but you can be playing a sound and wonder if there is reverb or delay or not, but it's just bone dry, but has a dimension to it that would imply so. Maybe something like all the little sounds that come out of a guitar have a voice in the spectrum, and you kind of hear all those dimensions of the guitar coming out at sort of random times. Probably a horrible explanation, but I don't know how else to explain it.
I've had this amp for maybe a couple years now, and it still amazes me.
