I guess you could call this a midlife crisis hobby. Some folks buy Porsches and Ferraris. I bought a Z-Wreck Jr., a Two-Rock, and two Swart amps. I've had the Z-Wreck Jr. for about two months now. Even at my very beginner level, I love how this amp reacts to the volume knob and how hard I dig in while playing. It's truly astonishing how this thing reacts. This will be a fun amp to grow into and never outgrow. Shout out to Five Watt World for showing this amp and Jeff McErlain for showing what it can do when a real master uses it. I've enjoyed digging through the past posts here. There is a lot of great information, thanks everyone. Later G aka Psychoarts Psychoarts.com

Congrats, and that Ox box must be working hard with the master volume wide open like that!
It’s truly an amazing amp, and there’s nothing ’junior’ about it’s sound, enjoy!

I dialed it back a bit to about 11 o'clock, volume at 1. Just turning dials and seeing how it reacts. I know I've had the Wreck jr. longer, but so far it out shines the Two-Rock.

Psychoarts Interesting that despite having the option to have the master volume where you want with the Ox box, you have chosen to dial it back to 11 o’clock. This matches up to my experimenting that the master volume is also a tone choice as well as the obvious volume control as the distorted output section sounds slightly different to a distorting preamp section, and it’s this balance that opens up even more possibilities and tonal options.. The usual thinking is that having an amp open as wide as you can bear it/get away with is the ideal operating conditions, but I’ve found that the ratio of the gain and master can get you closer to Vox or Marshall sounds, which just adds to the versatility of this amp.
