A couple of months ago I purchased a Ray on Reverb from a gentleman on the eastern side of Canada! We went round and round about the cost of shipping before finally settling the deal. I had it sent straight to The Good Doctor for inspection and a half power switch! Any how she showed up today! I can't believe I ever sold the first one I had (Years Ago) I absolutely love the cleans on this amp! And so does my Tele!

Congratulations. I had not yet experienced my tele "light bulb" moment when I owned my Ray but I loved the cleans with all of the guitars I owned at the time. If I remember (it was a long time ago), my favorite guitar with the Ray was my Gibson Lucille. Enjoy.

Like getting a new chassis, everything has been thoroughly inspected and is like new.

I’ve been itching to send mine in, but wonder if the brake lite is sufficient and don’t want to wait weeks to get it back (yet).

And you better talk with the shop before you assume a time frame! They are pretty busy at this time! I was in no hurry as I am sufficiently covered with amps.

Can you give some idea of the loudness at 1/2 power…..like GHIA loudness or more? Or in Full power is it more louder than say a Therapy was?

That's a really tough question to answer because I haven't owned a Ghia or a Therapy for years! Off the top I wouldn't say the StangRay on full power is louder than the Therapy! I just spent a few minutes toggling between the full and half power and to my perception it sounds exactly half as loud on half power! I hope this helps? The cleans on the StangRay are to die for but, again that's my perception!

I haven’t had either my GHIA or Therapy for years as well….haven’t had a Z in a few years…. Really been missing them, and with the new “venture” Dr Z is doing with the auctions I am hoping to pick up another Z .
Obviously they have a Stang Ray right now …. I keep getting outbid …. Your recollection and opinion of volume is much appreciated.
Thanks
