Hi all. This is my first post, and this seems like a nice little online community!
I am very seriously considering a Dr. Z amp. This will be my second tube amp (well, it will be my new #1, demoting my Blackstar Artist 15 to #2 for stereo and wet/dry experimentation), and I’ve decided to splurge a bit on something well-made by people who cared what they were doing while making it. I’ve seen too many reports of poor soldering and noise in recent Mexican Fenders and the Chinese-made PCB amps from others (plus I already have a Chinese PCB amp), and I don’t have a good local shop/tech to conveniently deal with vintage amps. So here I am, shopping boutique, and really impressed by the user feedback on Dr. Z amps.
Z-Lux caught my attention first, which is why I’m posting in this section, but I guess I am looking for some confirmation that I will appreciate it in my use case, which is entirely at home, playing for my own enjoyment, most likely not ever gigging or playing with a band (I’ve seen no shortage of assurances it’s great if I ever were to find myself in that situation). I play in my 12x15 home office/guitar room. Neighbors are far enough away that I’m not worried about bothering them, and I don’t need an amp that can rock while my wife is sleeping in the next room or anything like that. However, I do want an amp that sounds great at an SPL I can tolerate while playing in a room that size (loud enough to feel it, not so loud my ears ring).
I’m thinking I’d be fine with the master volume and half-power mode available to tame the volume, right? My thinking is that I’m not going to achieve a true cranked-amp power tube breakup in that room, anyway, even with a very-low-powered amp, so I may actually prefer the fuller sound of something in this power range, along with pedals? Or is that crazy? I do like using pedals, and don’t mind an amp that’s set basically clean/on the edge with pedals giving most of the dirt when it’s dirt time. Also, I realize the Z-Lux has a pretty useful boost.
It’s also worth noting that tremolo is by far my favorite and most-used modulation effect. From what I read and hear in demo videos, the bias trem on this amp seems pretty great, so it’s a significant selling point for me. I’m also drawn to the head/cab rather than a combo, since I don’t have any grab-n-go or easy load-in needs and would rather not take a chance on facing the vibration/rattling issues a tube combo can experience.
I’ve read posts here and elsewhere that say it’s a good amp at home, but those seem to usually carry a “but it’s even better on stage” connotation, which has me wondering if what those posts are saying is really that it’s OK at home. I could be reading too much into that, though. Certainly this would be easier if I had anywhere to go try one, but, alas, I do not.
I think I’m mainly talking this through, but if any of you who do have experience using a Z-Lux at home have anything to say, I’d appreciate the input! And, again, hello!

The Z-Lux has shined all around for me. 20 and 40 watt settings with a great master volume. You can use a brake lite with it for even more attention if you need it. In general it has awesome headroom and works extremely well with my pedal board. It is hands down the best amp I’ve owned or played. I hear a ton of praise for the z plus too for what you’re doing. I also have an m12 that I got as a back up amp and home amp but I feel as though I can get great tone with both my z lux and m12 at similar volumes. Imo you cannot go wrong with any of z’s amps. Just pick the flavor you like and run with it. To comment on the trem... it’s the first amp I had with trem. It literally took my breathe away and you can feel it throughout your body. Love it!

Can't help you with the Z-Lux as I've only played a head once for 20-30 minutes but welcome to the forum.

Thanks! I have also considered the Z-Plus heavily, as the harmonics of the single-ended circuit would be very nice. I don’t love that it only comes in a combo, but of course I could still use a Z-Plus with a cab if I find I have any problems with tube rattling (which, of course, is a shortcoming of modern tubes, not a knock on build quality, which I trust is solid and excellent). I’m actually kind of torn between these two, maybe leaning a bit toward the Z-Lux for the tremolo. I guess the choice I face is: tremolo or richer harmonics? As for the trem, yeah, I have a trem pedal I like fine, and I do find it more convenient to have tap tempo and selectable waveforms, but the bias trem just sounds a bit different, and I like the idea of adding it to my options. But, bias trems can be had in pedal form, too, and the Z-Plus seems to have a decent effects loop... Man, this is tough. I’m kind of wishing I could just buy both of them... (I’ve read through enough threads on this forum to know somebody will suggest that, but I can’t ).

You’ve obviously read enough to know this will only be your FIRST “Z” amp. So which one will be your first. I’ve owned my Z-Plus two years and have experienced no tube rattling. My MAZ 18 2x10 combo that preceded it never experienced tube rattle either. They both have been gigged and played quite a bit in that time. I love the half power switch, essentially giving me 7 watts. You can sure hit the sweet spot nicely with that. Additionally I’ve gigged it on full power and don’t worry about keeping up. I use a JHS trem pedal. No tap tempo.
I love the rich harmonics of the Z-Plus and the tone shaping capabilities. My music room is just a little smaller than the room you describe and I suffer from tinnitus, so this amp is really wonderful at getting me what I want at a reasonable volume. I can’t help you on the Z-Luxe other than to tell you it’s an equally great amp. Of that I’m certain, as each Z I’ve owned has been wonderful. In either case you won’t go wrong. It’s just a question of which amp do you want to be your first.

If you're sure it's not leaving the house, I would say a Cure is better, and I have both a Z-Lux and a Cure FWIW. There's a similar thread here: ztalk.proboards.com/thread/85394/old-fender-blackface-guy-new where DrZ himself says as much. They don't sound exactly the same, but you can dial them in pretty close, and the Cure's level control is great to bring the volume down to acceptable in home levels. The master volume on the Z-Lux is more limited in that regard, as it does affect tone more so than the level control. I put a Strymon Flint in the effects loop of the Cure with great results. You would love a Z-Lux; don't get me wrong, but it has a lot of horsepower you just won't need.

It’s just a question of which amp do you want to be your first. Thank you, this does help clarify things for me a bit. I’ve certainly done plenty of damage to my hearing over the years! I just always get the impression when people talk about “bedroom level” for guitar amps, they’re talking about something quieter and less satisfying than what I have in mind. One of the reasons I wanted to ask about this here instead of somewhere like TGP is that I don’t get the impression most of you guys are going to tell me to just get a Kemper or an Iridium! And I’m sure you’re right, assuming the first Z amp proves to feel like home for me, I’ll likely end up with another at some point. I do like that the Z-Plus has a cut control, as I think lack of control over high end is one of the things that can tend to frustrate me when I’m trying to dial in a tone. I don’t mind that the reverb is not foot-switchable, as I tend to just set reverb where I want it and leave it on. I’m also sure I’m worrying too much about the potential for tube rattle. Again, I don’t tend to consider this an issue with amp build quality (chassis on Z amps seems about as solid as I have seen anywhere), but a concern about poor tolerance in how tubes are made these days. Having said that, reading a testimonial like this from someone who has moved one of these around a lot more than I expect to is reassuring. And I know Dr. Z puts the stock tubes through some quality control before shipping his amps out, so I should probably open up a bit to that option. Also, the pricing is such that a Z-Plus combo costs less than a Z-Lux head... As for trem pedals, the one I have is a Walrus Monument, which is very versatile (harmonic mode, wave shape selector, tap tempo and expression pedal capabilities) and sounds pretty good. I do wonder if I’m missing out on the tube-driven bias trem, though. I will say the Z-Plus demo video with the trem pedal in the loop sounded great, and maybe I’d be happy with that as a first-Z amp solution. I’m still on the fence, but this was helpful. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, it's a great place. I've been very blessed and have quite a few Z amps. I gig in a Big Band and in our church's Praise Band. The Z-Lux is great at home or on the stage. It's a HUGE sounding amp. That's not to say that it doesn't sound great when you turn it down, it's got a great master volume. Tremolo is very, very nice, and it's got great reverb too. In your situation where you don't need it to play out it might be overkill, but you'd love it even if you didn't get to turn it up. The Z-Plus is just a beautiful amp, one of my favorites. Class A amp, it's loaded with harmonics and it can get dirty if you crank the Volume. Sounds great at any level and is very versatile. The Cure is another great amp, you couldn't go wrong there either.
I bought my first Z amp six years ago and I've bought more than one a year since then. They all scratch a different itch and they all share the legendary Z quality design and build quality. I don't think I'll ever buy another amp brand; I own Marshalls, Boogies, Vox and Fender amps as well but Dr.Z just is a special company and the man himself will give personal support to his products.
Good luck with your first Z amp...and again, welcome to Z-Talk. It's a special place and the people here are the best.

You would love a Z-Lux; don't get me wrong, but it has a lot of horsepower you just won't need. Thank you. I think the comment about horsepower I just don’t need is part of what I meant to convey in the original post. I appreciate the suggestion on the Cure. I actually don’t hate the idea of a Cure with a Z-Verb, for the dwell control. I think the main reason I’ve not given that one as much thought is that I tend to find combo cabs that size boxy and not as satisfying in the low-end as I like for playing alone. Am I at all correct in thinking that is a difference between a Z-Lux and a Cure? Of course, as with the Z-Plus, I could always just use another cab with it... You guys are sure giving me a lot to consider!

Go here Z amps and check out the differences. The Cure and the Z-Lux are different in terms of power and the Cure gets gainier. But there's no reverb or tremolo.

Wow, you guys have all been awesome replying so quickly and with such helpful first-hand experience. Yes, design and build quality is my main draw to this lineup. I’ve been on the hunt for a second amp for two or three months now, and I even had a failed attempt with another boutique brand from an online seller that was a bad overall experience (I won’t name names, but not only was there damage in shipment due to poor packing, and the amp was an undisclosed floor model with substantial aesthetic wear, but I wasn’t as impressed as I expected to be with the apparent build quality that allowed such wear and damage to happen in the first place...). I just want to get myself something nice and not have to be hassled with any more crap, and it seems like that’s what you get from Dr. Z.

Welcome to the Forum - as you've seen by now there are a lot of good, knowledgeable people here! Doc has a lot of good products that will fill your needs. I think that both the Z-Plus and the Cure would fulfill your requirements (the Cure is essentially a stripped down version of the ZLux - just the basics and it sounds great). To me, the Z-Plus is a little more versatile with all the bells and whistles. I usually keep the ZPlus in my living room to noodle with while the wife is watching TV - sounds good a a very low volume and only improves with more volume I'll send you a write-up I did of the various amps that includes clips of most of the amps. Good luck chasing your first Z - just look at my avatar to see "some" of my Zs.

If you like a huge, full sounding clean to edge of breakup the Lux is king. The trem and verb seal the deal. The cleans are huge at low volumes and your guitar will sound the way it should. It is the best circuit ever designed for folks who like Fender blackface, but want just a little more out of the amp. I would offer that if you go with something else, you’ll always wonder what could have been. You’ve done your research, I suggest going with your initial feelings. They are rarely wrong.

I think talking this out actually has me leaning toward the Z-Plus, at least as a first try. I‘m coming around to not being so final in my thinking on this. Start with the smaller (and cheaper) option, go from there? That’s palatable to me. I certainly appreciate what the Cure is for with that level control, I just don’t think my volume control needs are restrictive enough to pass up on what the Z-Plus has to offer, tonally. I’m really never needing to play in the same room where somebody is watching TV, so it sounds like the Z-Plus is capable of sounding great at even lower volume levels than I need. Reading the write-up you sent, the description of the harmonics may have put the nail in it for me, and I do hear that in the demo videos I have watched (trusting my own ears can be tricky when the sound is coming from YouTube through headphones, so written confirmation of what I think I hear is very helpful). Other single-ended amps I have looked at from other makers usually have the shortcomings of small speaker, really small box, no tone shaping ability... it seems like this design solves those. I’m not 100% just yet, but I am starting to feel a little silly for posing this as a Z-Lux question in the Z-Lux section...

Welcome to Z Talk. Choosing a single Z amp is always hard. I'm fortunate to own several, including all the ones that have been mentioned. One point I'd like to raise is, are there limits on how loud you can play without complaints from those around you? It's absolutely true that Z amps sound good at low volumes, but they sound better cranked up a bit. There's a point on the volume and/or master where the amp really starts to breathe. This is often at what I'd call "gig volume" rather than home volume. (Phooey on bedroom level ) I've taken the Z-Lux to some gigs and found I can't open it up even in 20-watt mode. It has a lot of "authority."
Just something to keep in mind. You really can't go wrong with any of these.

Thanks! I feel very welcome. This has been great. To be honest, I haven’t really tested my wife’s threshold for what’s too loud when I’m playing and she’s in the house, but I can’t remember her ever complaining. That room actually keeps sound contained pretty well with the door closed. It’s just her, me, and the dog. Things are probably too loud for my own tolerance before I would expect to be bothering neighbors, as we’re in a neighborhood with a good bit of space between houses. Yeah, I’m not really sure what people mean by “bedroom level”, either. I just play unplugged or with headphones at that point... However, what you describe is what I’m thinking may be a bit much with a Z-Lux, simply because of how close I am to the amps in a small-ish room. Also, I intend to sometimes be running two amps in that small room. I’m thinking I may end up choking a Z-Lux off before that breathing point you describe (and I know exactly what you’re talking about), and something like a Z-Plus may be closer to optimal in my room. I know I can use an attenuator with the Z-Lux, but then I need to A) also buy an attenuator and B) still never really hear the amp unencumbered. I know there’s really no way to know what works for me except to pick one and try for myself, and I really appreciate all the assurances that they’re all good (as well as the consensus that I’m going to end up buying more of them, anyway... ).

Hey everyone, thanks for weighing in. My trigger finger has been itching for a while on this, and I just went ahead and ordered myself a Z-Plus! I’m excited to receive it and give it some play time, but I’ll post anything further over in that section.
I look forward to discussing more stuff with all of you going forward!

Hey everyone, thanks for weighing in. My trigger finger has been itching for a while on this, and I just went ahead and ordered myself a Z-Plus! I’m excited to receive it and give it some play time, but I’ll post anything further over in that section. I look forward to discussing more stuff with all of you going forward! Congrats - you will be pleased! As you can see by my avatar I'm a bit of a Z fan. I can tell from avatars and signatures some of you guys have way more space and money for guitar amps than I do! Seeing how many satisfied repeat customers there are did help convince me to make this splurge, though. Having no professional or even public use for this stuff makes me feel like it’s a little bit harder to justify this kind of money, but I feel good about it knowing I am getting something that is so strongly vouched-for and that should last at least through my own lifetime. Who knows? I may also end up with a Z-Lux at some point. Z-Lux, Z-Plus, and Z-Wreck Jr. in a wet/dry/wet home office setup seems reasonable, right?
