My local music shop called me today and wanted to know if I'd be interested in checking out a used Z Wreck they got in. I was there about as fast I could get there. Almost called for a police escort! ;D
Got it at the house now. Woohoo! Sounds really nice. Goes from clean to scream with the volume. I know what I'll be doing the rest of the weekend lol. Might be an early xmas present to myself. Heck, I've been good this year! Cool amp doc!

Been blasting through this amp all day. Hey Mark, thanks man. The Tele is a newer Gatton. It has the Lawrence pickups in the neck and bridge. The middle pickup is a Barden. I routed it out, added the middle pickup and put in a 5-way switch.
Steve, looks like it's #14. At least I think it says 14 on the end. Have to track down my glasses lol.
I'm surprised how close I can get it sound like the Stangray when dialed in on the clean side. Tone controls take this amp all over the board. Haven't tried any pedals yet. Can't wait to give that a go...

Congrats, Jeff. I can't believe someone was willing to let a Wreck go so soon, but it's your gain.

That's a sweet deal you got there! Some real sweet chikpickin' also. The guys here at the shop sure knows that if one of the Wreck they got in is returned...im on speed dial! Doctrice - I can't see someone not liking this amp honestly, but perhaps if someone had to slap it on the plastic demon..Xmas time just around the corner...a bad combination perhaps Cheers B

Thanks for the very kind words. Yes I know Doug. We go back some years. We've never had to time to get together and jam though. Great musician and a good guy!

So what does a used Z-Wreck go for? Around $3,000. Don't know if I can even afford it right now but it sure sounds great! I've enjoyed every Z I've owned but this one is just the best sounding Z I've ever heard. I guess I'll have to sell some stuff off lol. Doubt I can let this go after playing it for the past couple days. My fingers are bleeding lol!

Okay, throwing some OD pedals at it today just for fun. What pedals have you guys tried with the Z-Wreck so far? I have a feeling they're all going to sound good!

I finalized the deal on z-wreck today. Got a good deal on it (I think). Not sure what they're worth on the used market. Couldn't let it go after jamming on it all weekend.

Not sure what they're worth on the used market. Timing is everything. At this point there is no "used market" and the Z Wreck is still a hot item. Besides that, just how "used" could it be? Anything less than retail is gravy!

Thanks guys! The music store let me bring it to the house and try it out over the weekend. I didn't actually pull the trigger and buy it until yesterday. Just couldn't pass it up.
