I doubt it. The Z Master is a unique design that takes advantage of a custom output transformer and 3 10-inch speakers to get its tone. Plus, in combo form it’s around 40 pounds anyway, so there would be little incentive to vary the format for weight reasons. But, you never know...

I don't see that one making it as a head.

I think a significant part of the amps tone comes from the 3x10 speakers. As the guys above said, with the amp weighing in at only 40 pounds there is not a lot of incentive to add complexity to the Z line-up.

The combo is lite! Lighter than the zwreck combo!

Highly doubt it. It would defeat the whole purpose of the amp. The 3/10 speaker configuration and the fact it’s so lightweight makes it unique. It’s was designed to be what it is and it is what it is. A very well thought out put together amplifier.

As noted, this amp is modeled on the 5E7 Bandmaster. Part of the charm of the Bandmaster was the impedance mismatch created by wiring a trio of 10 inch 8 ohm speakers in parallel - for a total of 2.6 ohms, into an underpowered transformer. This explains the unique tone.

Did anyone mention the 3 speakers which help give it ( THE) Tone? And that big booty bass?

I've over the years had all most every one of the Doc's designs. Z-master never leaves until they put me in the box!
