Hey all,
My favorite amp ever is my EZG-50 with a 4x10 cab. I also have a Z28 combo that I use for smaller gigs... Equally awesome.
I've just sold an amp (My Remedy, which I just couldn't bond with), and I'm ready to buy a new Z! Any suggestions? I play a Fano SP6, which is basically just a short scale tele. And I play primarily blues/rock.
I want another higher wattage amp. I'm looking at an Anitdote, KT45 or maybe a Stang Ray. What do y'all think?
Cheers!

Antidote is the most versatile of the group you named - great sounding with humbuckers or strats
I agree. A caveat: Since there is some similarity with the Remedy, i.e., both amps are Doc's take on certain vintage Marshall-type tones, what was it about the Remedy that you couldn't bond with?

Gear piled high. Talent? Must be hidden in there somewhere.

If you're playing a short-scale Tele and you like the EZG and the Z-28, both great amps, then I think maybe the KT45 is your best bet. It's the grandpa amp to the Z-28, same front end, end you'll get big, thick cleans like the Route 66, but louder. If you use pedals, they'll interact beautifully with the KT45's front end.
Th cleans on the Antidote are thick and fat and it will go mean too if you want it. Can be a little fussy to dial in but worth it.

GuitarZ: Carrying batteries for backup in the gig bag is great until you realize you can't free one of those little CR2032 buggers without a pair of scissors. And, that's after you free it from the outer packaging.

doctorice: fingersmcginty Hope you're recovering! Yes, the Cure at 33 lbs. appears to be the lightest combo. Jetta is 34 lbs.
