Hi guys,
New to the forum here. I recently have been playing a new style, Maz 18 NR 1x12 combo for the last year and a half, and although I absolutely loved the amp, believe it or not it just was not loud enough in my current situation. It sounded amazing, and it had a scumback 1x12 in it. I traded it in for a remedy, played a show with it through a 1x12 z cab with g12h30 and it was amazing, never took it off 20 watts and had it screaming all night. What a great amp. The maz had a 97db speaker in it and really cut the volume compared to when I tried it through the 1x12 with the celestion g12h30, 100db. Now with the remedy I'm pumping the volume up, getting natural overdrive and working the guitar volume for cleaner tones, don't even need an overdrive pedal, just use a clean boost and it is amazing. Just ordered a z best cab today, I can't wait to try out the remedy with my z best cab. I read a lot of forums of guys who changed the speakers in there z best cab, but are there any users who use a remedy with the stock g12h30 and vintage 30???

Welcome to the forum!! Maz18 followed by a Remedy?? Man, you have some special taste in amps Wish I could help speaker-wise - I got my 1x12 pre-fitted with a G12 65. I know loads of guys love the Creamback with their Remedies. I used to have a G12H 30 in my Maz18 and thought that was a great speaker, and sound great, but loud, with the Remedy. Never played a V30....... Enjoy that Remedy, and keep us posted on how things turn out!

Most people keep their Z-best with the stock speakers. Few change them. (But I did)
The Maz with a 97db speaker is going to be relatively quiet. Making the jump from a 97db to 100db speaker is a BIG jump in volume.
Personally, I can't stand the G12H with the Remedy.
For me:
Classic rock tones= greenback Modern rock tones=V30
But the pairing of the H with the V30 in the Z-best is a nice match. You get the upper mid spike in tone of the V30, but it's offset by the recessed mids of the H. They work well together. Loud...but they work well together.

Cool thanks guys. I'm very excited to try out the remedy with the z best cab. Should be here Friday. I absolutely loved my maz, and I want to get another one again but I'd like to get a head and cab next time. For now it will be all remedy for me! Man I love it so far, can't wait to hear it through 2x12's.
Thanks again for the info guys!

Like The others say, LOUD!!! But it's a real nice 2x12 matchup the V30/ G12H30.
