Just picked up my first Dr.Z a couple days ago and all I can say is I am hooked!!! Thinking about trying another flavor and the Stang caught me eye on the site. The class A is what really grabbed me. Any info pros/cons what not would be cool. Thanks so much in advance!!!

Well you didn't say what you have, but the Stang Ray is a very clean amp, but it can crunch up a bit too. The thing is, a Stang Ray into a pair of Alnico Blues has about the best clean you have ever heard, anywhere. Other amps have great cleans, the 'ray has world class clean. I've never played another amp quite like it.

Cool thanks. That sounds like it would be what I am after. Oh yeah I have a MAZ Jr.

The Ray is quite a bit different than the Maz series IMO. Lot's more AC30-ish, but more "umph" to it. That one tone knob can change the tone drastically, and the cut works like a charm to add the right amt of highs to the mix.
You can't go wrong with a Ray

Ray and a pair of 12 Blues open cab is killer. You'll need pedals for dirt,though.

Remove the spaces from this: [ img ]http://yourpathhere.com/image.jpg[ /img ] Substitute the URL for your image and there you have it. In case you didn't know, there is a button in the toolbar that inserts the two img tags, then all you have to do is insert the URL between them.

Hi Rydog. I just got my Stingray a couple of weeks ago. It's frickin' awesome. Absolutely the best clean tone I've ever heard. Something I hadn't planned on was using it as a jazz amp. It's one of Doc's best designs. You'll love a Ray.

You might try using a A/B box and run the Maz Jr. for dirty sounds and the Ray for clean sounds. You get the best of both worlds that way. ;D
