Just put down a 20% deposit to secure a Z-Wrek Jr combo!
There's only 1 UK authorised dealer, so I'll be the first person in England to own a Z-Wrek junior!
There's no ETA at the moment, but I'm hoping I won't be kept waiting long...

Thanks Mike!
I guess I'm going to have to live vicariously through the new owners in this forum until my one arrives...
I have so many things I want to try, from different guitars to various pedals, plugging in my Brakelite, to hooking up another speaker etc, so I hope to read some interesting feedback here over the coming days as today is the official release day!

I am waiting for one as well in the states but due to the Doc and the staff getting sick it may be a little bit. We need the Doc to get healthy first as we know he has more tricks up his sleeve this year. Until then I will just have to play one of my several other amps.

Oh dear, the doc is ill as well!!!
I thought it was a couple of his staff, including the cabinet maker, so this is really bad news!
Speedy recovery hoped for all.

redtele, congrats. Very envious! on a seperate note, if you haven't already been, Peach is a great shop to visit. Unlike any other shop I have been to; brilliant service.

Hi Mark, I'm planning to pick it up myself just to have a chance to look around, despite it being an almost 2 hour drive for me, as even though I lived in Essex for many years I've never had the pleasure of visiting Peach.
Doc says he's shipping to the UK by the end of this month, which although not that long, it's going to feel like a lifetime!

Just saw this clip yesterday evening, and have emailed Peach Guitars to ask if this is my one ...
Jack makes the amp sound amazing, so I can't blame the amp for the mediocre tones I make :-)

OMG, I recieved this actual amp from the YouTube video above, and have been playing all day long. What an amazing amp, and the dynamics are everything I could wish for, even at living room levels.
With the volume, treble and bass just shy of 1 'o clock, and the master at 10 o'clock, my telecaster is perfectly clean and full, and strumming hard produces the most gain I'd usually ever need. This is the low-medium gain sound I've spent however much money and time trying to achieve with the latest and greatest pedal, and it's all there inside this amp!
I auditioned loads of my usual 'goes well with a vox' type pedals, and the EQD Speaker cranker sounded phenomenal, so if I ever need that extra push over the cliff (in true Nigel Tufnel style), this is the pedal to get me there. There's also no need for an attenuator (my Brakelite was on standby), as even turning down the master volume a little bit more, the overall volume reduces without loosing much in the way of fullness and punch.
I plugged the amp into the 2 celestion blues in my AC30 cab, and much preferred the greenback, as it's clearer and produces all the subtle changes in dynamics better. It almost sounds as big by itself with the single speaker as when plugged into the 2 x12 Vox cab, which is probably testament to the high quality Dr Z cabinet.
My Les Paul sounded huge, and pushed the amp into breakup so easily, and I can't imagine ever needing a Marshall for 'that sound' as it's the perfect rock sound for the heavier songs I cover. I have yet to try out my strat, casino or Les Paul Junior yet, but I'm expecting great things.
I absolutely love it (can't you tell?), I can't see me wanting to use any of my other amps ever again, and I can't wait till this quarantine period is over so I can get back into rehearsal and blow the roof off!
