I was looking at Z's updated prices and noticed there was no Antidote listed. It's now in the legacy section. If you've ever wanted this amp, might want to consider nailing one down soon. My guess is they'll be fairly hard to come by at some point after dealer stock is cleared out. I suspect this was never a big seller, and Z has the EMS covering a lot of Marshall tones. But it's a great amp. Fwiw, I prefer it to the Remedy. (Have not had the pleasure yet of playing an EMS.)

The Surgical Steel has also moved to legacy.

The Antidote is in my top 3 favorite Z amps and has been since I first got it. I rank it higher than either the Remedy or the EMS (YMMV, of course). I got prototype #6 initially. It is switchable from KT66 tubes to EL34 with the flip of a switch and changing the tubes. No rebiasing required. I recently purchased the #001 Antidote prototype so I'm gonna put the #006 up for sale soon. I've been thinking about keeping them both but something else has caught my eye and I'm feeling guilty owning 2 of the 6 prototypes built.

The Antidote is such a rich sounding amp. It may be more than I need,but it sounds so good that every time I even think about the practicality of swapping it for something else, I bail on the idea. I can't imagine it going anywhere.

it's sad, from a brand perspective, when the model names that play into the "doctor" theme, get discontinued.
