I picked up a Z-28 MKII from Doc last week - it's the prototype MKII with 5881s in it! It's a great sounding amp! Definitely the sound of rock and roll! I haven't had a lot of time yet but I can already tell this one will make it into the oft play list! Here she is with her new best friends - a Maz 38 MKII with half power mod (a killer amp), an early Monza, and the Jetta - a great rocking quartet!

Oooh boy...very cool. I've been wanting to try an EF86 amp.
How's the Master? Is it as good as Doc's Level controls, or is it more like an old school Master Volume?

Initial impression is that it is more like an old school rather than the level controls but it still sounds really good even with MV rolled down. Just kick up volume and roll down volume - plenty of grit there!

It is a PPIMV same as the Level control. Not an old style pre-PI master volume. Z

The 5881 discussion has come up recently in another thread (regarding the Cure, which is now 5881-based). What a sweet-sounding distortion that you get from that tube. I definitely believe Mike when he says that this MkII Z28 is "the sound of rock & roll."
