I've really been impressed with how single coil guitars sound through the CAZ. They are smooth and very "brittle". I've been pushing my '63 Custom Shop tele through it for a couple of weeks. The pickups are very low output. With both the Intensity and Overdrive at about 11:00, I can get smooth tone. Bluesy Rock tone that's very dynamic. By just turning the guitar volume down slightly, I can get a good sound for Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby". Those series of double stops sound great with the tele and the CAZ.
It's not just a high gain amp! It can be very low gain and a medium gain amp.

It's not just a high gain amp! It can be very low gain and a medium gain amp. Just listen to Adams demo's. Every style from Scorpions, EVH, Black Sabbath, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, and more all sounding like the amp recorded the original tune. It is a very unique and original design. The input dynamics of an original Trainwreck, More gain than the early Soldano, and rocks as hard as a Bogner. All in one package with original controls , Sensitivity Input, Aggression ( distortion variation control ) , and Level control acts like a built in attenuator. It is the Rock amp that does it all, at all volume levels. Z

I haven't had time to play mine lately. Def been missing it. But it's funny, I'll hear a demo of an amp, and think "man that sounds good", but then I remember I have the CAZ and I know it can nail that tone. And maybe do it better.

I have to say I won't live long enough to explore every sound this amp has!

It’s a unique amp, and yes, sounds fantastic with a tele.
Maybe not mentioned so far on the amp, but when you start to increase the aggression control, it really brings in shades of Nuno Bettencourt. He would love this amp. Not to say that this is what the amp sounds like, but you could make it sound just like that if you wanted to.

Adam, I plugged in my Les paul holy Stuff! Hard to beat a good LP. Crunch machine, jazz tones, blues tones, Allman Bros type sounds. 335 is right in there too.
