This amp is the shizz! Especially with the built-in attenuator. I ran it through my ZBest and it roared! Then I sent it through a convertible with a Celestion Gold and it just didn't happen. But ... that's like putting a Ferrari engine in a Mini Cooper. Not a good match at all. I'm going to try some different speakers tomorrow.
What speaker/enclosure are you guys liking with the Mini head?

First of all, Congratualtions Don!
Tomorrow I'll try it with my new Red Z-Best that I'm picking up. So far I did it with a Weber ceramic 15". Sounded nice but a little too dark. I actually dug it the EV EVM12L in a Theile Cab. That speaker won't break up for anything so you really get to hear the tube. I also tried it with 2x10 ceramic Webers... Blue Pup and Silver 10. So far that is the cabinet for me with the Mini... it makes it nice and punchy and there is just enough bottom even when cranked. Still haven't tried it with the 12" Weber Silver Bell alnico 30 watt in a Theile cab.
I love it when I take the time to just noodle and have fun with the Mini-Z. Instant Rock Star!

Funny you should say that of the gold in the convertible. I just picked up a Epiphone Valve junior to have some fun with. OK, its no mini, but... it didnt like the gold at all!! And didnt like the 2x12 greenie cab(8 ohm). Tried it with a blue at 8 ohm, blah, so tried it with a single greenie 16 ohm and it loved it. Pretty schweet actually. I didnt care much for the gold with my RX either, shame as that was the reason i got it.
