Arrived yesterday. I only had a few minutes with it and won't get any serious playing time for several days.
What can I say? It's a Z and it's LOUD. With the volume dimed my EC Strat was feeding back with the Air Brake on 4. Goes from clean to lots of drive as volume knob is moved up. Sounded to me like there are transition points (of OD/gain) when sweeping the volume control. I'm sure it's an amp that will be ideal for "set and forget" and use your guitar controls to vary the sounds.
You know what the amp looks like, but I will add a picture soon.
My serial number is "MIKE.G".

My serial number is "MIKE.G". From S/N "D.SMITH", a big congratulations, Mike! I want to gig it this weekend but I don't have my clamshell Studio Slip cover yet. I have the one for the head but not the 2x12. I don't want to take it out without it. Isn't this a fun amp?

Totally awesome, dude I've had more time with it and am really liking it.I want to compare it to my Ghia. Has anyone inspected the tube complement? I've been too enthralled with playing to peak under the hood.

It's got a couple of JJ ECC83 preamps, a quad of NOS 6N14N and a (I think) Gold Lion GZ-34/5AR4 rectifier. Not sure about the rectifier. It's got a light brown base...
