Continuously amazed by the price point compared to the other manufacturers. I have preferred my Z's to any of the others I have played. ME

I have preferred my Z's to any of the others I have played. ME Agreed, I don't think anybody on here doubted that the Z offering would not be a better valued product I guess my only point (and a reiteration of Nicholas' question) was that I think I would consider a loop (if I were a builder) since it seems to be a popular sticking point that many players of higher gain-type amps seems to want as long as it didn't negatively impact the design. I could be way off base on that notion, though since I'm not in the business

Divided by 13 AMW 39. And it has a loop. AMW 39 @ $2700.00 for the head Friedman Small Box @ $2799.00 for the head Fargan Olde 800 Mk II @ $2400.00 for the head DR.Z EMS as a head or head and 2x12 set price to be determined. Oh, I know the EMS will be the better value, without a doubt. I was just saying for historical purposes. I will be anxious to do a side by side between my AMW and the EMS. I have a feeling..........

As good as Dr. Z is at designing / building amps, I get the feeling he might be a better businessman. I think 2017 is going to be the biggest year ever for Z amps. Nice to see a small business thriving in this country again.

Yep, I'd say you are right. I'm sure I'll have an 80's style JCM-esque amp this year too so I'll I'm interested to seeing the full roll-out package for the EMS, for sure

I still smile when I recall listening to this amp at the shop. I forgot to mention the thump this had when the Les Paul was plugged in. You could feel it, my cell phone camera mic could not capture it.

As cool as that is, I'm more interested with how the volume/master volume/level control (?) implementation is able to reign it in as well

These topics always crack me up. If Doc comes out with a clean amp everyone worries about how good the over drive is. When he comes out with a screamer everyone worries about the clean head room. Poor guy cant win lol

Poor guy cant win lol LOL. What you say is true. In the big scheme of things I'm happy to compromise (sorta) and have an amp that does both nicely as possible. I am quite sure I could get a Z that would kick my Laney's backside, but I've held onto it because it does the clean wonderfully and overdrive can be as insane as I can stand. This new amp may be the one that pushes me over the edge. Always been a sucker for Marshall tone.

As long as I played out, I used one amp for cleans and a different amp for the grit. You can use the same speakers for both if you have one of these:

Cant wait to test drive one of these when are these badboys officiall hit Dealer floors?? Sometime this summer according to discussion I had with Doc. At least that was the plan. Given the success of the Cure (they share the same chassis) it may be a longer wait rather than shorter one. Only so many Z hands in the shop to build them with!
