Took the plunge on my first Ghia, a red 2x10 combo with a brake light. I haven't had a chance to demo a Ghia but played a used Mazerati at GC and thought the little brother might be perfect. It's not my first Z as I had an M12 for a while. That was a great amp but I was looking for something with a little more personality. I was looking at a Maz 18 but just couldn't pass up on this one. Should be here by the end of the week.

The 2x10 Ghia combo, in red, was my first Z. That Ghia wound up in a head and really became a personal tone. Loved the Ghia....great amp....gets you focused back on playing, using the guitar knobs, hearing different speakers, guitars, pedals, and your playing MUCH more clearly. As a first Z, I was shocked how different it felt to me from my Peavey Classic 30, Divided by 13 SJT, Swart STR.....the Z had a sound of its own.
Now I realize Dr Z has a sound all his own...it’s in every amp he makes that I’ve tried. But the Ghia is easily one of my favorites.

Congrats on the new Ghia Just remember, there isn't a treble/cut knob, so if your ears think it's too bright, you'll have to use the guitar's tone knob....that thing next to the volume knob we guitar players never touch.

I never fail to be amazed at the variety of tone that two knobs can provide. It's a great amp and congratulations for making a great first Z choice!

Well, it arrived and it sounds really good. Very punchy and can get down right nasty. It has that Z sound but is more lively than my M12 was. Only complaint is a bit of tube rattle when cranked, but I have had that happen in most combos.

You might try some tube dampener rings on the output tubes. It's a amazing amp, and has a lot of personalities depending on which tubes and speakers you load it up with. Enjoy!
