Had an opportunity to grab a Therapy recently. I wasn't really looking for one, but I couldn't resist.
It's quite different than any other Z I've owned. Very cool. I'm not thrilled with the sounds I'm getting from my LP with buckers, but the single coil Strat and Tele sound AMAZING! My favorite guitar through this amp is easily the Tele. So spanky, and FULL! The Therapy really does so many different things well.
That said, I don't think it's THE amp for me. If I could afford it, I'd definitely keep it - even if just for that awesome Tele sound. But my Z-Lux covers most everything I need, and I really NEED to grab a Maz 38.
So, I'm super glad to have had the opportunity to try a Therapy. It's truly a special amp. I guess I just miss that Maz 38 thing.

I do not like mine with a LP. Love it with my hollow bodies, Tele and P90 SG.

The Therapy is great with an LP, IF you're not using a V30. Too much mid range...

Good point, speakers make a huge difference. I use a V30 variant in mine.

My other guitar player plays a Therapy with a Les Paul and I believe the speaker is a V30....
It sounds utterly, amazingly, awesome.

I should have mentioned what speaker I was using. I ran it through a Creamback.

What specifically didn't you guys like about the therapy w/a LP?

Hard to put my finger on it. I just couldn’t seem to dial in a setting that sounded good. When I finally got a decent LP sound with the neck pickup for example, it didn’t sound good at all on the bridge pickup. Idk. I don’t have this issue with my Lux at all. Now with the Tele or Strat, the Therapy is easy for me to dial in. My Tele has never sounded so good as it does through the Therapy.
I just think I’m missing the EL84 Maz thing. (Or maybe even a Wreck).

It sounds really good with my Firebird too, and my LP Goldtop w/Mini Humbuggies if fantastic. V30 open back 1x12 Z cab.

Bass 9:00, Mids 2:00, Treble 2:00 Volume 2:00 to 3:00, Master 10:00 to 12:00 depending on the size of the venue. Usually into a Cannabis Rex or Texas Heat. I prefer it with an American voiced speaker.

I did not like the honk/nasalness I was getting from it with the LP. Tried some speaker swaps but ended up just using different guitars with it.
