Well I wasn't going to, but I just couldn't stand it once I plugged in and played it, and then picked it up. What a great sound, and much lighter than my Maz Jr was. I'm thinking this is my last amp ever, but you know how that goes... Black with ZW grille - took a chance and walked in at Emerald City Guitars in Seattle. I almost never go down there because it takes as long to find parking as it does to wait for a package from Humbucker. I suppose I need to update my chart now that I can peruse the fine points on my own gear here...

I love visiting Peach Guitars whenever I can (2 hour drive each way) but since this amp was launched I have studiously avoided going there, for this very reason! Sorry John.......blame Z!

Good to hear about your purchase Steve. From past posts I thought that you already owned a Z-Lux and was thinking recently that I should see if I could get together with Steve to try one out in person. I didn't think Emerald would have one in stock and besides, like you and others, I like the guys and gear at Emerald a lot, but the parking is insane. Would like to test drive one in person to see if I would want to move away from my EZG head and/or Maz Sr 1x12 combo. The lighter 1x12 combo weight of the Z-Lux is appealing over the Maz combo weights too.
Steve, had your old red Maz Jr NR 1x12 combo at my house last month. Drew has it or had it for a little while and he brought it over to compare against my Maz Sr reverb 1x12. We really wanted to compare the Jr vs the Sr tones, but the NR vs the reverb makes it difficult for a true apples to applies comparison.

Jay said he has another Z-Lux coming in shortly... you might want to swing by there and give it a listen, but take your Visa card.

It would probably be wise to leave my Visa at home when checking out the Z-Lux. Your old Maz Jr now has a G12H-30 in it. My Maz Sr also has the G12H-30 and normally I am not a huge fan of that speaker, I think it is alright. Usually prefer the alnico gold/blue. However, in the Maz I actually like it quite a bit as I think it adds some low end and fullness to the otherwise bright tone of the Maz amps imo. Though the Maz and a gold sound pretty good though. I had a gold in my last Maz Jr NR and it sounded great with my tele, though a little brighter than I preferred at the volumes I usually play which is lower volume. Opened up the amps take on different tonal characters included some added low end. I have been playing the Maz at home through your old 2x12 Z cab which now has a gold and a G12H-75 creamback in it. Kind of the best of both worlds with that speaker configuration.

Congrats, Steve. I had a hunch you'd dig this amp.
I have to admit I haven't spent much time with other amps since the Z-Lux arrived. It has been perfect for every gig and venue and guitar so far.
