The Remedy is sposed to be that plexi tone. I would imagine it gives up the dirt at a lower volume more easily. It also has the cut switch for about 1/2 the wattage instead of the full 40 watts.
The Route is much thicker sounding. The Remedy does clean but the Route's cleans can be piano like even at loud volumes if you want. Both have very interactive tone controls (a hallmark of all Z amps). But the Route tone controls don't give more volume after about noon on the dial. What they give you is more and more dirt.

so the tone controls are a bit like the z-28?

"The tone stack of the Route 66..." says Dr. Z on his Z-28 page.

The Route 66 / Z-28 / KT-45 all have the ability to dial in the amount of gain for treble and bass individually. This is after you've turned up a bit. The tone knobs become gain knobs above noon when the volume is up. That's different from the Remedy.
The Route has a smoother distortion and a fatter tone. It's a dark sounding amp. A great amp for certain applications. If you're looking for an amp that's good for a wide variety of styles, this is not the amp for you.

My route 66 isn't dark, I think it depends a bit on the tubes and the rest of the setup. It fat and thick, with just the right amount of dirt for classic rock tunes and blues. best through Cel Gold and Z 410.
The Rem is definitely brightER than the Route, has significantly more gain, punch and tightness. Its a bit more modern sounding amp all round.

I was able to solve the darkness issue with a good clean boost. I leave it on all the time. Great amp.
