Yea I know! I'm torn between this and the wreck. But the wreck seller backed out, now it's an even tougher choice. I'm a wreck for a 'wreck... pretty sure I need some Therapy!

Thanks for the warning, Frankie! Look forward to your thoughts. Now I need to prepare myself mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally...

For you guys doing the Z Wreck/Therapy dance: MarkT and I got the word that Therapy is on the way. Both of us are Z Wreck owners/players, so we may be able to offer some thoughts later this week.
I doubt we'll help anyone's GAS.

I would really have to spend more time and do a few gigs with the Therepy to do a proper review , but in a nutshell ......very useable volume range, it loved the strat and crunched nicely with my 335. It does have a bit of gain on tap, not Monza hot but more like the ZWreck territory. It has a ton of GREAT semi-dirty sounds.....very touch sensitive. A really clear top end that never mushes out. And a super nice balanced midrange and lows. The master volume/volume set-up worked like a dream, letting you get that tone at a reasonable volume. We plugged in a modded Bad Monkey, it inhaled that thing, and made it sound like part of the amp. All in all, it's a new design , but still sounds like a Z amp. It does have a little bit a raw grit to it. This amp would work great for a number of applications. I would have loved to hear Steve Miller plug his strat into one ! I saw under the hood, and got to hear about the creative process, which was so very interesting. Also, it did sound really nice with the Canabis Rex speaker. It really seemed like one of those amps that made you want to just skip all the effects and man up and work your volume knobs and pick attack to make it work....if that makes sense. Another super great amp ! ps Will write more as it all sinks in !

Words don't do it justice.....what keeps haunting me are the gorgeous, to die for Strat sounds. I got my Jimi on, and it was really really sweeeeeeeet ! I also think Joe Walsh would love this amp too. It's crunch reminds me a little of the old James Gang stuff. Did he use a Tweed back then ? I dont remember. I belched out the intro for Rocky Mountain Way, it was spot on. I need some of Docs mojo ! One of the few guys who can hit a home run with every amp ! I know it would be like a Swiss Army knife in the studio too, hmmmmm, what can I sell ? Over and out from Walton Hills

How would you describe the cleans Frankie? The cleans are warmer with more hair compared to my EZG......kind of like the ZWreck's dirty sister, who is not afraid to do the nasty ! It's slightly more compressed (compared to the EZG) as well.. giving it a different vibe and feel.
