I'm really impressed with everything I've heard of the Z-Plus. I've been thinking about a parallel single ended amp for quite a while, and this may be it.
One question: How does the Cut control work?
As I understand it, the Cut control in a push-pull amp allows some of the signal from each of the phase inverter outputs to mix with the other, allowing phase cancellation, with a high pass filter so that only higher frequencies are cancelled.
Of course, the Z-Plus doesn't have a phase inverter (or if it does, I'm really confused!). So how does the cut work?
I hope this isn't proprietary. I'm not looking for details, just the principle.

Good question. I too am curious. I can tell you the cut control is very useful with the Z-Plus and this amp is fantastic.

Maybe an AMA?

We all know it’s there, we all love it, but don’t know how it works.

Doesn't the cut control on Z amps work opposite of that on say a Vox, or a Matchless???
I can say, the cut controls on Doc's amps have always allowed me to switch guitars at will, without usually touching the tone stack and the Z Plus is no exception. Adjust the cut to taste.

It is nothing more then a simple High Pass filter. A cap and a pot , no phase cancelation needed as the drive signal is signal phase.
