Now that the honeymoon is over, I'm wishing I would have held out for the Zwreck. Don't get me wrong the DB4 is a hell of an amp, but I came as far as to get the DB4, I think I could've held out just a little longer for the wreck. I'm going to keep playing it for now, but if anyone is looking for a DB4 shoot me a pm!!

Curious to hear more details. Have you played a Wreck before to compare it? What about the amp makes you wish you held out? What are the parts that make you feel that the DB4 is the "best amp [you've] ever plugged into?

Well it seriously is the best amp I ever played. I just want more twang. The amp is very dark, exactly as described. It really sounds great, but doesn't have the chime I love, but still sounds very good. Just different. Hard to explain. Not gonna go out of my way to sell it, but if someone wants it, I will buy the wreck.

I'm looking forward to checking out a DB4 one of these days as I'm dying to hear one in person. Hopefully things work out so I can make it to Mini Z-Fest this year.

Played extensively last night at home with a ego compressor into a EP Booster in front of the amp and it sounded badass. The EP booster seems to brighten up the amp just a little which is a good thing with my tele. For anybody who has heard Brad's new song "Without a Fight", it took me about five seconds to get that tone. Very cool...

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.
