The EZG is often touted as a loud clean machine. I have run across people here and other places saying they thought their EZG lost headroom over time. I bought mine used, it was a few years old, and would not call it super clean, but I love it's sound and feel. It is pretty loud at clean levels, but in the spectrum of the volume I wouldn't consider it much cleaner than others. For example at pre and post both at 11 oclock mine gets pretty hairy, and at 3 and 3 oclock it is in full on overdrive. That is with Dearmond single coils in a Gretsch hollowbody, medium output. So what are your experiences? Is it possible the character of the amp could change with time? What might change besides the tubes?
I know one person's dirty is another's clean, but I am talking CLEAN. Maybe I am just used to the silverface bassman 100 and blues deluxe ri I used to have. Those were clean. Not as pretty, but clean.

Have never cranked it that much Pre 11 o'clock, Post 9 or 10 o'clock, very twin reverb clean.

It should be clean at those settings. Maybe new tubes would help or possibly modifications have been done to it.

"Pretty hairy" at 11:00 Pre & Post seems like pretty early breakup for that amp. I haven't plugged into mine in a while (trying to sort out my speaker cabs at the moment) but I'm pretty sure I've gotta crank the Post full-up in order to get breakup at 11:00 on the Pre. To be honest, that's exactly the sound I love in the EZG (cranked Post) but I wouldn't have expected any breakup at the OP's settings.
