Finally got to pull the new Anni out of the box tonight and noodle for a 1/2 hour. Plugged in with a Dispatch Master on with a little delay & 'verb just for a little ambience. I also only ran it through my 212 with Celestion AlNiCo Golds that Doc built for me as a companion to my Z80. I suspected that this cab would be a perfect match for the Anni as AlNiCos are my fav speakers for Z amps. I'm familiar with the online demo with the matching cab (G12H30 & Vintage 30) and I have a faint memory of Buddy W demoing at Z-Fest. The Anni through the 212 with Golds just seems to be perfect. Even at 10:00 on the dial (tone at about noon) the amp is so even. The low strings are still tight, but warm and the unwound strings just have a sweet, reedy warmth to them, while still being clear. Even when I goosed the volume to 1/2 way the amp was sweet with even more sizzle but still clear and defined. Mirroring what I've heard others say, it doesn't get a bunch louder, as such, but just comes more alive while still holding it all together. I think there is something about the 2 Golds that makes it sweeter, too. Lol, I basically spent half an hour just playing arpeggiated chords with a Strat on positions 2 & 4. I passed on one of these in 2018 to get the Z80. Glad I was able to find a brand new one 2 years later.

I remember Buddy playing the whole lineup. That one and the Nova really stood out. Sweet!

Glad you got it, Keith. At least it's about 1/2 red...and I dig mine too. It's a lot of amp, and carries tone with authority doesn't it?

Ha ha, when it comes to red I take what I can get š Like any Z, it certainly has authority. However, when you have a Z80 kicking around, well, that another different world!

Killing me guys, as soon as i'm back to work i'm going hunt one of these or a V1 down. As much as I love my Z28 the Ghia has been getting a lot of my time and I would love to have a little more "Authority"

I have the one that buddy demo'd at Z-fest!(#13) It's my favorite in my collection. Such a bold amp. So big and open sounding. I'm sort of glad people don't seem to have caught onto these because they can still be picked up at great prices!
