Well. I've quietly been looking for a minty red Maz GT for several years now. Almost bought a black one yesterday but did a quick search and found minty 007 in North Carolina !
On her way to Canada on Monday !

Congratulations! I bet that 007 has some extra mojo! Yeah, on the FB page the original owner (Lou) chimed in the the same sentiment! I'm sure they are all great. I'm just happy I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. In the perfect world I would have been able to get a new one from Doc....but I let that boat sail before the model was discontinued.

Hahaha, great minds think alike. Looks like a great amp! I hope Doc puts the Stingray, Mazerati, and Mazerati GT on the Kemper files for the discontinued amps.

Sweet...007 showed up today in one piece Except for the lack of new tolex smell, just like it is brand new Well, I got home from hockey and decided to try the amp out....clean ! The family is in bed. Wow....I've read that this amp is FULL ON at 9:00 on the dial. It is ON alright! Obviously couldn't run it hot tonight but will try it with an attenuator tomorrow. However, even at between 9:00 & 10:00 and using the volume knob you can get some great shades of cleans....at basement volumes. The cleans are very organic....not sterile at all. Even if I never run this thing hot (but I will with an attenuator) its worth the price to play clean/edge of breakup. I'm glad on got one. Did I mention this thing is full on at 9:30 on the dial. This is certainly an amp that will make a lesser player (like me) sit in the corner and suck on your thumb! Sweet amp.....it's like an F-16

It's a great amp! I had Doc put a MV on mine - totally useable now at all settings on the volume knob.

I'm going to try it tonight with my Iron Man attenuator to see how that fairs....I think it will be fine

Welllll......... I see this thread’s been bare for about a year and a half. Not much excitement about this old amp ........ EXCEPT FROM ME!!!!!! Years ago Benttop Steve had written about the Mazerati GT’s “world class tone”, and I wanted one ever since.
Well, I’m finally getting to try one. I just copped one on Reverb and am way excited, should be in this week.
Prolly no one will read this ........ but such a reality will not dampen my excitement! Will, in all likelihood, leave a review right here, that no one will read. Das OK with me.

Really like the Gt through a Z-best. Even better since I had Doc install the MV after I tried Mike's mod at a Michigan Z-fest. I had a post(I don't post much) a long long time ago.. where I did one of my tunes. Clean sounds with guitar volume down, crunchy with volume up...3 or 4 tracks... all with the GT. No pedals needed..

Read it too 😎 Be be prepared for that silly grin when you just go past 9:00 on the dial and the amp is fully on! After that it just puckers up more.

And as noted above, it becomes much more useable with the MV installed. And for fun at the next level - I've got a Stangray GT - two channels - one the Stangray and the other channel is the Maz GT. Doc only made two of them - this one isn't going anywhere (sorry Paul)!

A lil post primarily to myself, and just a couple/few readers here in ‘archaic world of yesteryear dept’ - Thanks for responding gents! I must go on record: Well .......... this thing is a monster, innit? Why anyone would ever need to go past 9-9:30 is something an old feller like me can’t understand. Just superb distortion, smooth as silk, all a body could ever need. Not as bright as I had anticipated, but I need to get used to her, spend a lil quality time with her. I’ve got the tone wide open (nutted counterclockwise) for as much high end as I can get, with a Z Brake (a must!) down hard (in bedroom zone). (That’s prolly pulling a little high end off.)
Lotta fun. Life is good. However, still no quality attention from a woman, great amp or not.

Make sure you dime the volume - wonderfully smooth fuzz tones!! For sure but, with a Tele, I like it here at 10:00 with the guitar volume rolled back to about 7.5-8. Man, this thing is a beast that just wants to get away from you.
