i went to go play and then buy a Z wreck today. I brought my Stangray 2x12 to compare side by side. The Z wreck was great. Very lush mids, nice sparkling highs. Really great British overdrive. Overall a fantastic amp. As good as it was, I liked my Stangray better. The Zwreck has too much gain for me. I do country and I like a cleaner circuit. It cleans up beautifully when you roll down your guitar volume. However, I just seem to like my volume knob (guitar) at full 99% of the time. I feel like I doged a $3600 bullet and kept my Ray. This is not a bad review, if I had the $ I'd own both

Smart man, believing your ears. I've had both, and I can see a lot of value in both. They are not the same, and I would expect that just like you, there are those who would prefer the 'ray over the Wreck. I no longer have my 'ray, but I still dream about her.

Great post and observation. I had my eye and mind on a 'Ray until I found out the 'Wreck was coming out. I love my Z Wreck and it will take me where I need to be. Like you...if I had the $$ and room...I'd have both..

With a good OD pedal and Ray will get you very close to ZWreck. For me I do like ZWreck for the simple fact that I can get clean to mean all in one amp. Although, after having own both Ray and ZWreck it would be hard to choose which amp is better,the right situation will dictate which amps fits the need.

I'd like to have a ZWreck one day, but my Stang Ray is not a trade option!

never get rid of a z to get another...hold out...overtime you'll pick one up on ebay or used or something...give it time...the StangRay is an awesome amplifier....not a huge difference in sound overall...each has its own little characteristics I guess...I like them both ...
cheers!
