The tones I’ve heard from the Z-Plus on videos blew me away to the point where I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I started saving for one a while back. Today I pulled the trigger on a Black n’ Tan Studio w/ Z12 from Humbucker Music (had a great experience buying a Dr. Z 1x12 cab from them last year). This will be the fourth Dr. Z amp I’ve owned, but my first Z combo, first Z amp with reverb, and first with a Master volume. Super excited about the fully-loaded feature set on the Z-Plus with the variable boost, effects loop, and half-power switch, too. Can hardly wait. Just wanted to share my excitement.

The Z-Plus just might be Doc's best amp. (It would be very hard to prove me wrong, for sure!)

It sure is hard to choose from such a great lineup of amps… Even if you have the means to pick two or three, it’s still difficult. I’d also love a Z-Master, and a Jetta, and Z-Wreck, and… To stay married and responsible to my family… So just the Z-Plus and my trusty Ghia for now. Truth be told, I’m already feeling grateful to be so fortunate, and maybe even a little spoiled. Can’t wait to put this new tool/toy to use.

It's just a great amp, for sure one of Doc's best. I think he said in another thread that it's either his favorite or getting to be his favorite.
And for good reason! I love mine, there are lots of great tones in there.

The Z-Plus is completely AMAZING… I am so in love with this amp! Honeymoon, for sure, but I’ve never had a night playing through a new amp like last night. Z12 sure is a great sounding speaker for this amp. The details and features on this amp are perfectly accounted for. Very nicely done, Dr. Z.

Absolutely LOVE the integrated boost feature on the amp.
Quick questions… I don’t often use a pedalboard, so I’m wondering, is it okay to leave a 9v battery in the boost footswitch to power the indicator LED? I noticed it doesn’t disconnect the battery when I pull the cable out of the jack on the footswitch (the LED will still turn on)… Perhaps no power is being drawn from the battery as long as boost footswitch off?
Also, I’ve just been using a regular TS instrument cable for the footswitch… I’m assuming that’s the proper cable, right? (I know, brilliant time to ask the question when that’s already what I’ve been doing, lol)

A regular TS Instrument Cable is correct.

I thought I was seeing things at first, but I noticed the front of the studio cab slants upwards ever so slightly, not too much, but just the perfect amount toward the player… LOVE that! Projection, dispersion, and frequency balance is amazing from this nice, compact cab.
