Ive been wanting to read this since getting a Remedy, couldn't find it, but finally had the time to do a proper search, found it and read the whole Dr Z piece. I found it AWESOME how Dr Z got the inspiration for the Remedy. If I remember right, he saw Buddy Guy in a club in Cleveland in 1989, and was blown away by Buddy's 2nd guitarists amp tone. It belonged to 20yo Scott Holt(who toured with him 1989-1999. The amp was a 100 watt Marshall plexi half stack modded to run 6V6s. I saw Buddy probably 5 times during that period, and became a fan of Scott Holt along the way....and that amp! I remember being right in front of it at a now defunct club in Cincinnati called Sycamore Gardens,in 1997??? where I could FEEL it in my chest. He had a way of taking the guitar vol WAY down to start a solo with beautiful Hendrixy cleans and build it into a searing, ripping frenzy, with just a strat. Ive never forgotten that sound.
That sound apparently inspired the Remedy years later. Well guess what? Now that I have one, and after reading that article, that tonal memory totally came back to me. And the Remedy NAILS it! Ive been playing mine cranked and loudly, with my strat, with copious guitar vol manipulation, and that's IT. Consider this as a three way shout out. 1st for Scott Holt. 2nd for the Remedy. And 3rd, for Dr Z for being able to take a tone he heard once at a club in 1989 and make a KILLER amp that nails it years later.

I remember seeing an issue with David Grissom with a Route 66 at his feet. That is what led me to look into Dr Z amps.
