Well, it's at the office anyway Even just looking in the box it looks classy...especially with the AlNiCo Cream in the back.

Ummm... it's not red. What is going on here. Now you know you can't just have a bunch of red amps and one lonely blonde one right?
You're gonna love it man. It's super awesome.

For some reason I always loved the smell of a new cassette tape. I haven't smelled one in a LONG time, but I can just think back and remember exactly how they smell. They smelled so strong you could almost taste it. Probably caused cancer though... Back to the new blonde! Wait till you play it. Seriously. It's awesome.

The Z-Plus is even better than I imagined. I really just wanted a low-powered amp in the vein of a Princeton or similar where I can run a trem in the loop (think Marty Stuart). The Blonde/ZWreck is fabulous and I can't imagine having this amp is anything but a combo (even for around the house). It makes it so easy to just grab and move room to room if needed. No surprises but the amp sound just like the Dave Baker demo even with the Cream. I can't tell if the Cream is 'darker' than the blue of not but the amp is certainly not dark in this configuration. If anything. the top end may be a little laid back but the bottom end seems ever more tight making the amp very even keeled. I think its great. The one thing that caught me by surprise (even though you hear the description online) was the acoustic-type nature of the amp. The cleans are eerie in that they really do have an acoustic nature to them. Nothing rounded off here. This amp is a noodler's paradise. Kudos Doc

Glad you are liking the Z-Plus! It really is a fun little amp! I think it fits well with Doc's lineup as I find the Plus to be a very unique and versatile Dr. Z! Acoustic clean to dirty mean! Sharp looking combination: Blonde with the Wreck cloth!
Congrats!
Ron

You'll find lots of different tones in it. I've pretty much settled in on a EQ setting that I really don't touch much anymore. But I love experimenting with the high and low input and full/half power.
I love half power-high input for the dirt and low input-full power for the cleaner stuff. Oh yeah, the boost too! Enjoy the twiddling!

The Z-Plus has become one of my favorite Zs. It sounds great at home and great playing out live. Enjoy your blonde beauty, Keith. You'll find lots of different tones in it. I've pretty much settled in on a EQ setting that I really don't touch much anymore. But I love experimenting with the high and low input and full/half power. I love half power-high input for the dirt and low input-full power for the cleaner stuff. Oh yeah, the boost too! Enjoy the twiddling! What are those settings, Nick? We have the same approach to using the inputs. I almost always have the boost on at slightly below the midpoint (on the foot switch.) I've started doing the same with the Z-Lux, at least with single-coil guitars.

Usually treble and bass around 1:00. Mids around 10:00. I play with the cut more than anything lately. Really changes the tone and feel.
