Well....My new Z Wreck came a couple of weeks ago. It looked awesome. Unfortunately, it worked a few minutes...then faded out to nothing. I went through all the testing process's. Changed all the tubes one by one.. It came on again....sounded great, then faded slowly back down to no sound. I figured out it was the rectifier tube not heating up. Put in a NOS Mullard...nothing...a new Sovetek...nothing. I then contacted Jake @ Humbucker and the good Doc..... I sent the amp back to DR.Z at their most hectic time of the year. The Doc and Don looked into it and come to find it was a very rare cold solder joint on the filament feed to the rectifier. I figured it was infant mortality of some part like I've heard him talk about. Anyway...I got it back yesterday and all I can say is WOW! The awesome Z Wreck is back in the fold. And now it matches all my other Z cabs. ;D My hats off to the Doc and his men....and Jake, my friend and Z amp dealer. Thanks guys! I must say, as good as the Z Wreck cab is and sounds, the two, 1-12 cabs is fuller, thicker and FATTER! ;D ;D

Thanks men. It was extremely hard to let go of my original Z Wreck set #004. But I had too to be able to afford this. I am very satisfied with the final result. I loved the Quantum Silver set, but liked to use it with other cab combinations as needed. So this one is more versatile for my needs. Thanks for making it happen DR.Z

what are the speakers in those 1x12 cabs? I had planned on running 2 Gold's with this set-up...and will revert back to that at some point. Right now though, I have a Tone Tubby AlNiCo in one and a Creamback in the other. Both open back. I love the TT with all my amps and the Creamback is an awesome speaker as well. The Creamback has more of an AlNiCo feel than any other ceramic speaker I've ever tried.

Yes! I'm hoping to have a similar set up soon. I've got the guitar, now I need to buy another z wreck. How does that collings match with the wreck? Mine seems to break up and amp a little sooner than my other axes, which I like!!
