A little update on the NOVA. First T as they say " A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet " Second I had a HOT young Guitar Player , Jake Kershaw, in to demo some amps, thanks Paul . He played a bunch but was stuck on the NOVA plugged into a Z Best cab, wow what a sound. So he ordered a set , so I will be releasing the NOVA in a head version as well as a 1X12 Combo. Z Doc, that was a G12H30 in the Nova combo at Z-Fest, right? If so, I'll probably go with the combo. Although I do have a 1x12 Gold and the Mazerati 2x12 cab that came with my LE set...
What do you think about either the Gold or the G12H30/V30 combination?
Thing is, I can't get that tone out of my head from the Z-Fest jam. My Firebird just LOVES that amplifier. Can't wait for the release. Now I just need help deciding on head or combo, but I'm leaning towards a combo.

Though Steve (Benttop) spoke on another forum about how amazing the (then called) Stingray was, I think the first Z I think I heard was a Galaxy, and it was (for lack of a better term) delicious. I think the rawness of the distortion was a big part of what I liked about it. I am intrigued about the Nova.

The Galaxie was the first amp that caught my ear (though I ended up buying an EZG 50 first). I've owned four different Galaxies - I now have one that Joe Walsh used out on tour and never plan on parting with it. He used a G12-65 in it - still blows me away!! I plan on getting a Nova when they come out - it had amazing tone at Z-Fest with almost any guitar played through it. I loved it with Dave's Firebird and especially with Will's Mulecaster - killer sounds with both guitars!

Any early indications of what the price range might be for the head version? No not yet. Installed an Effects Loop , and started on the Panel set design. I'm juggling three new designs currently with the NOVA being the first to be released. Will keep you abreast on progress. Z

Geez. I thought I was settled, but now I have to choose between a head and a combo?
Thanks a lot! 😊

Have to figure out my priorities! Actually Mike: NOVA, JW Zen Master, and BP X -Ray. NOVA will be first released as a Head and 1X12 combo , think low powered Tweed Twin with Footswitchable Overdrive and Effects Loop with buffered return. JW ZenMaster completed just waiting on finalization with Joe, and marketing scheme. BP X RAY complete just looking for final approval from Brad , Fully tube driven ( 12DW7 ) Effects Loop, Half Power switch , PPIMV, this amp combines my two Lawsuit amps StingRay and DB 4, with a couple of added twists. The Z 80 will be a Master Build amp 100% built by me in very low production. First one sold to Keith A. Z

The Low Powered Twin is my favorite and I miss my Therapy dearly. Looks like this is going to be a must have for me!

I was telling my wife just the other day that I needed to get the Nova before I get the JW! Now, that really makes sense because the Nova will be released first!

If there is such a list for the Nova, I'd like to be on it as well. I'll prolly go for the head version.

Lou, I'm leaning toward a head as well, but I want to see what speaker(s) Doc pairs it with before deciding. Although Doc did mention it sounded great with a Z Best, which is already in house for me.

I gave my 1-12 Conv Cab to my son (he needed an amp after leaving G Center to start his craft brewery), but I have a sweet Mesa 1-12 open back with their C-90 in it that I'm betting will sound great. I'm definitely interested though in seeing what speaker Doc pairs it with. Lots of anticipation on this amp!

The 1x12 open back Mesa with C90 is the best 1x12 cabinet I’ve ever played through.

I was enchanted by the way the Nova 1x12 combo sounded with my Firebird at Z-Fest. I like the portability of combos, plus they sound sweeter to me.
1X12 Ultralight combo for me, please...I can't get the tone out of my head.
