I just wanted to show some love for the Stangray. I bought a used 2007 head about 3 years ago. Last year I sent it in for a check up and asked for new tubes. WOW! The amp came home the best sounding thing I've heard! This Ray is so special!!! The tone of this amp is really amazing. Not that I want to flood Doc with Check up appointments as it would slow down the new products....but if you think you may need a checkup DO IT!

I always wanted a Stangray so i could just put it on a shelf with the rest of my amps I don't use!
Seriously, though, it is one of my favourite sounding amps when heard played by any player that does it justice.
The Kris Richards & Dave Baker demos are benchmarks for me.
I will own one someday. I'll wait to see if Doc will do a limited run or reissue.

I totally agree with you Ron. It's one of the greatest "I'll never sell this one" amps of all time...

The best non-Fender cleans I ever had.

Doc's repair department is top notch. I sent them my Mazerati a year or so ago and they gave it a checkup and replaced some filter caps. It sounded good when I sent it to them but it came back sounding even better. I would rather spend a few extra dollars for shipping and have them work on my amp than any local amp tech who will use whatever parts they have on hand. Plus they know exactly how the amp works and what it should sound like.

New Stang Ray owner, as of yesterday! A bandmate—the original owner—knew that I was a Vox-y kind of guy and had a head + 212 w Blues in red tolex. I traded a Friedman head and didn't look back The best news? I have the Friedman BE-OD which sounds spectacular with either my '52 RI Tele or 2012 MIA Strat (both of which sound like they were made for the Ray). (I had a Ghia about 10 years ago, so this isn't my first Z... but it could be my last amp.)

I've had many amps over the years.....Including a Z-Wreck, Black Cat, Matchless, and almost every EL84 amp in the Dr. Z lineup. The Ray is "my" amp! I've had 3 Stangrays......Starting back in 2006. Every time sell one, I end up getting another one. The holy grail of the Ray, for me, was an original Stingray......And a little over a year ago, I finally got one!! This is my be-all, end-all amp! Only reason I would ever sell it would be if I were in a financial bind. This is the best amp I've ever, EVER, played! Love the Ray! Here's my first one: Here's my current one: (wish I had the cab above now)
