First post, but I've been lurking for a while. I own a Maz 8 and Maz 18 Jr, and I've generally been very happy with both.
One weird thing I noticed about my Maz 8 is that I always have problem pulling the preamp tubes. I currently own 7 tube amps (and I've owned many others in the past), and I've never had a problem getting tubes out of the others. Am I missing a trick or something obvious? Usually light pressure and combined with a circle movement gets tubes out fine for me. I also encountered this with my power tube in the Maz 8 and ended up breaking it!
Anybody else experienced this or have any advice on how to deal with this? Thanks.

First of all welcome to the forum mam8dg! One of the things I do to remove tubes is turn the amp upside down. I think it's easier when the tubes are right side up, if that makes any sense. Hope this helps a little bit.

I usually use those rubber surgical gloves to get a firm grip...yeah they can be stuborn. I did have a deluxe rb... man those tubes were tough to pull...
