Most of you who know me know that I like gain. The smooth gain of the Therapy really attracted me to this amp when I first heard it.
Last Wednesday I was running late for music rehersal so I just grabbed my Electra Jet and a cable and jumped into rehersal.
Dang did it sound great! I rolled back the volume and opened up the master and got these really nice clear bell like clean sounds coming out of my amp. Since I wasn't using my pedal board I spend time each some dialing in clean or gain to fit the songs. Gain is still fantanstic but the cleans just made me smile and smile and smile.
Sure love this amp, even after owning it for well over a year now I still don't have GAS. That's no disrespect for the Zlux, it's just a testimony to how great the Therapy is.

Agreed about this amp. I really love the cleans on it....especially with Stratocasters.

It's getting damn near impossible to resist Therapy GAS. And I was trying to be a responsible adult this year!

Great to hear that there is yet another still satisfied owner of the Therapy! I bought mine when they first came out and agree with all the great things that have been said about this amazing amp. I too love the cleans from this thing, a Tele and the Therapy are a wonderful duo!

I haven't found a guitar yet that doesn't sound great through the Therapy.

Right on Todd! I'm with you. The cleans just blow me away and I'm not a guy who likes cleans. It's hard to see how any other amp will surpass this one for me. No GAS on amps at all!

I haven't found a guitar yet that doesn't sound great through the Therapy. Agreed-but I do like single coils better.The amp and guitar really meld,clean dirty,in between.
BTW,lately I have been enjoying the new therapy setting of 12 12 12 12 12.

Yeah! I love that setting too, and with humbuckers I run the treble up to 2:00. The 335 absolutely sings there (Z 2x10 cab).

One of the (many) neat things about the Therapy is how rich and thick the clean sounds are. Very alive, organic sound.

I should never visit this section, the verbal descriptions are oozing out and infecting my thoughts. I like what I have, I like what I have, I like what I have. Ok, I feel better now. Sounds like a great amp.

Hell yes! I can plug straight into the amp and get anything I want. Clean to mean, it just excells. Don't need reverb for tone shaping on this bad machine. It has that thick well rounded tone that fills the room.

To be honest, I prefer the cleans on this amp rather than the drive. Not that there is something wrong with the drive

Not that there is something wrong with the drive I agree-I usually don't bring the V past 1:30.If I want more dirt I use the Z drive.I usually play with the master at about 2-3 oclock.Next time the boss is out of the house I am going to open the master up all the way and let it rip.Hard to believe I haven't done that yet.

I think between this amp and the Z-Lux I'm DONE.............. I was playing the Therapy a lot yesterday and today. I think you're on to something, Dave. MarkT and premiumplus (Dave) would seem to support your position. Of course, like the omnipresent Mary Ann or Ginger? debate, which amp do you run for cleans and which for OD?

I think I'm going to devote the afternoon to some Therapy myself. I've got it sitting on a Thiele cab with EVM12L right now, but I really love it with the Z 2x10.

Have to join in this thread for sure!! As many may know, I play in a pretty heads down rock band, and the Therapy absolutely NAILS it!! However, I was asked to play in a much quieter band on an open mic night thing, just a few songs, and we did the likes of Mayer's Gravity. I would normally just throw the Z28 in the car - job done - but my son had borrowed it and forgotten to bring it back in time............. ........so I started messing with the Therapy settings to see what I could find.........one word.....WOW!! No matter how many times I play this amp, it never ceases to amaze me!! Versatile is a word invented for this amp! The settings I ended up with were: B - noon M - 9 T - 3 V - 9 RC - on all the time, low Gain, high Volume GV - rolled WAY back on my Les Paul Special (those Lollars would overdrive a Bose PA!!) Man, that was as sweet a sound as I have ever heard from any amp, ever! Forget your Dumbles etc, I would stack this baby up against anything our there. Next question: when is the Therapy combo coming out, as I feel a trade coming on.............. One Simply Cannot have enough Therapy amps!
