After talking with you all and doing a ton of research and clip-auditions, I bought my first Z today, a Surf Green Maz 8 with the G12H30 speaker and Brake Lite. www.humbuckermusic.com/dr-z-maz-8-studio-combo-surf-green.htmlWhat a gorgeous amplifier, and I am about halfway through reading this entire forum, digesting everything I can read about it. I have a Celestion Blue in a 5E3 combo that I built about 5 years ago, so I can try it out and decide if I want to change from the stock speaker. Avatar has them for a good price right now if I decide to go with the Blue, and that way I can pay about $10 more and get two speakers. UPS will have it at my door here in Swartz Creek Michigan on Wednesday...and I'm so stoked! I have a stable of cool amps but this one I'm thinking will be my favorite. I can't wait! Dave

The g12h, once broken-in (very important), is a nice speaker with the maz 8. It provides a good tight lowend punch that the small wattage needs.

Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Proboards I really like the G12H in mine. Tried a V30 in it too, sounded really good but the G12 had that certain extra "something" that just made it sound more suited to the 8 to my ears and taste.

I had a blue in my studio combo. Sounded great. Just before I sold it I plugged it into my G12-65 2x12 and almost gave the buyer his money back. Be willing to try different speakers to dial in the sound you want. Enjoy the ride! Todd

I've had the Maz 8 for almost a month now, and after trying the Blue I went back to the G12H30. Sounds tighter and better to my ears. The Blue is awesome but it's a little loose on the bottom end for my taste in this amp. Works great in my 5E3 Tweed Deluxe.
