I've been dreaming of an amp with the following components, all of which are in individual Dr Z amps, but none of them together. - EF86 preamp
- Baxandal tone stack with mid-boost switch (like the Jim Kelley FACS)
- Dual Parallel single ended KT-88/6550
- Presence
- Reverb
- Loop
- Master Volume

Yes! If you're Brad Paisley or Joe Walsh etc. Then those amps become production models that we all use and love.

I will say this about the Dr Z, if you have a really good idea he'll give it some thought. The Maz 8 for example, came from a suggestion from one of Doc's retailers, Peach Music in the UK.

In a way, all Zs are custom amps.
More than once I’ve called Don (or whoever answers, sometimes Z himself) to ask about a tube or something not current spec on a particular brand new Z amp I just got in. I was surprised to have them say yeah, in QAing the amp we just thought it sounded better with this change. If playing and subsequently tweaking every amp that rolls out ain’t custom I want somebody to show me what is!
This is why I always try to buy new Z amps and replace tubes with ones identical to what came in them from the shop. You just never know but one thing you can count on is “Z knows best”.

"Dual Parallel single ended KT-88/6550"
I think the interleaved output transformer would be very heavy.

I don’t know that you have to be Brad Paisley or Joe Walsh, but you probably have to have Brad Paisley or Joe Walsh coin 😁
