I picked up a mini Z last week on reverb. Blonde, mint condition. Been looking for a small home practice amp and small venue amp and I know I found the home playing amp for sure in the mini. Going to test drive it on a gig this weekend fo a small venue. May have to mic it. It came with the eminence ram rod but I swapped that out for a celestion gold, and also put in a 12au7. Man this amp is killer. Great tone, great feel. awesome edge of breakup tones at about 3-4 on the dial with the 12 au7. I'm loving it. I'm not sure how close it is to the maz 8, but I do wish it had just a tad more volume but Im not complaining. i may have to pick up a maz 8 if it's close in comparison to the mini z tone. I love this amp, I cant stop playing it

Congrats!! I’ve wanted one for a while now! get one, you won't be disappointed. Most small amps like that in the 5 watt range get loose and flubby. Not the mini z, it stays extremely tight and punchy and focused. I love it

If you like the gold, try a blue if you have one handy. Mine sounds / feels more lively with a blue.

Wow indeed! Just joined the club. Was at the local shop for their annual “attic sale”. Wasn’t planning on buying anything. But I saw a blonde Mini Z head. Priced to move. And move it did - right into my music corner. Awesome amp. Love with 112 and/or 210 cabs so far. Absolutely a fun amp. Great with my Stratocaster and Telecaster Crank it up and have some fun! Cheers always Joel

They are cool. I wonder if there will be one in the series of auctions on the Zbay.

There may be a bidding war on that one! Lol, I got my Stangray early on in the proceedings. If someone wants the Mini more than me, I'm o/k to let someone else enjoy.

I picked up a Mini Z head on Reverb a few months back. It is my first Dr Z amp. I have been thrilled with it. Unbelievable how good 5 watts sounds! Enjoy it!
