I hope they fly off the shelves. I’ll be getting one in a few months.

I've been wearing out Humbucker Music about them. I think I was the first one to put down a deposit for one with them. I've about decided to get the matching set! My wife just shakes her head. lol
Frankie, how about some video snippets?

Totally aside: frankie , how do you guys determine which orientation to mount the "Z" logo on the Z-Bests? Does each dealer have their preferences? I've seen them both ways, but it seemed to me that lately they're more oriented for the "upright" position (as in your avatar image). Sorry. Now back to your regularly-scheduled drooling...

The default configuration is vertical unless a dealer specifies otherwise. Most people prefer a smaller footprint. Given this is a high gain amp, and the z best is ported, the coupling of the port to the ground extends the low end response for a chunkier feel preferred in hard rock playing. Also, the larger head shell does not fit the vertical orientation as uniformly but this was a secondary consideration as the early prototypes were on MAZ chassis, which do fit on the vertical z bests, before the addition of the tube driven loop, which requires a larger chassis to properly layout a low-noise, high gain, hand wired circuit.

I've got an Avatar cab with WGS Veteran 30 + ET65 (for all intents and purposes, the "equivalent" of a Vintage 30 + G12M-65 Creamback) and I've gotta say it's perfectly suited for mid-to-higher gain classic British-styled stuff. Just an awesome speaker combination.

My dealer up here in Canada has a set in stock. My contact actually reached out today based on a passing comment I made about eventually getting one of these a while back. I thought that was pretty cool of him.
Hey Russell, maybe Humbucker hasn’t gotten their order yet?

They did, but only three. And those are already spoken for.

I just checked stock at Sweetwater and they have ONE left in stock! Now gone! I didn’t get the call today. Did anyone secure one today for shipment this week? After this whole year of build up and talk about this amp, I was really not that interested in a "high" gain amp. I don't play with that much gain, I thought..... Then that demo of Adam's got my blood pumpin'. Especially those 335 tones as Keith mentioned. So I called Humbucker Thursday and all of the fist batch was pre-sold. I figured, but they are one day away shipping from me. So I called Sweetwater. It was obviously too early for them. They had never heard of the amp. I guess they don't let the sales guys know until release date. SO, I call the good ole Doc himself. After a fun, friendly conversation about the CAZ, I ask where else had they shipped this elusive new beast? He mentioned Midwood Guitars, right up the road in Charlotte. So I call them and bought the one they had. Was supposed to ship yesterday. There was a mixup about the shipping address I gave them, so not sure whether it shipped yesterday or today. Either way, I should receive it today or tomorrow. Super stoked. I'm sure this will be another big seller from Dr Z. Hopefully yours will arrive shortly Russell. Did you call Humbucker?
