Ok , I've been having fun with my new Z Plus for a couple of weeks now and I have to say I'm digging it. LT combo with the Z 12. Very articulate and responsive. I've never been much of a combo guy and have been gigging my Maz 18 NR head for the last couple of years with a cab that I built and love the tone. But the thought of a grab and go combo appealed to me and I sprang for the Plus. Just for the heck of it I A/B'd the Plus with the stock Z 12 and then through my home built cab that is loaded with an Austin Speaker Works KTS- 70 and prefer the tone with the latter. I also temporarily swapped out the Z 12 in the Plus with the ASW KTS-70 but didn't notice an upgrade in tone so I put the Z12 back in. Of course this is in a bedroom setting. I haven't had the chance to gig the Plus yet since my band is on a temporary hiatus until March. But I'm wondering, in a live situation with the amp miked does it make a difference if it is a combo or cab? Our sound guy uses a Sennheiser 609 laying flat against the grille center of cone and it seems to work well based on the compliments I receive on my tone. Any thouhts or advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and by the way I had a dream that Doc is coming out with a Z-Plus NR head in the near future!

The difference is probably negligible. In a miking scenario, I'd prefer the studio combo myself. The tight cab lends itself to a nice, focused tone, whereas a traditional combo cab or speaker cab is going to be more open and disperse sound over a wider area.

Yup, been super busy, though. Today is the first day I've been able to give it a good ripping. So far, so good!
