Had the Cure chassis out today to do some periodic maintenance and I also swapped the Z12 out for a Tone Tubby Key Largo. Based on the notes on the side of the chassis it appears this one was made on a Tuesday/Wednesday. 3/27/17 - 3/28/17. It also appears that the builder who made my amp was having a good day. The ceramic capacitor soldered to the standby switch had a smiley face drawn on it. Ha! Love admiring the work though. 20210125_133359 by Johnathan, on Flickr 20210125_133409 by Johnathan, on Flickr

The Z amps are a work of art inside. Here is a good video that I believe explains the smiley face at (3:35). Gives you an appreactation for the Dr Z QA process.

Although, I've seen quite a few of the AMA videos, I don't think I've seen this one! But yeah, you can definitely tell a lot of care goes into the product.

Some how I've missed it. You are welcome. A lot of great AMA videos on the Dr Z Amplification YouTube channel. What Doc won't tell you is that the blue Sharpie is the secret tone component to his amps!

What Doc won't tell you is that the blue Sharpie is the secret tone component to his amps! I’ve gone pretty deep on the AMA’s but not stumbled onto that one. You’re right, I’ve had a few Ghia’s, the one with blue sharpie sounded even better than the ones with the green sharpie.
