Got the Z 28 MKII dialed in a I’m sending Brad a 1 X12 combo . Hope he likes it he has older Z28 that he digs . I have output transformers on order as soon as I get them production will start. Heads & 1x12 combo’s will be offered. About time huh!
BTW Dave Smith got to plug in before Brad. Also Todd and his son Josh got to test out an early photo-type Z28 MKII,

I gotta tell you guys, it's INCREDIBLE. I loved playing that amp, and at one point I just hung on an open "D" chord and Z and I were just grinnin' at each other. I could just sit and strum chords through it all day, but it's really alive for single string work too. It's just an awesome piece of amplifier.
If I ever get to see Brad on TV with that amp, I'll smile! Right place at the right time for sure, I didn't want to unplug.
I am definitely in line for one of these too. No doubt!

Doc, just re-watched the Z28 AMA. Great video! I'd love to see a video on the evolution of the Z28 to the mkII. The addition of the ppimv, power tube choice, etc. Just a thought, it's always interesting to hear the details straight from the designengineer!

Everyone will be impressed with this one, IMHO it’s a “Deluxe Killer” for sure.

I’ve been dimming mine, then bringing up the master to volume, then bringing the back just a touch. It kills, I spend 100% of my time between the MK2 and the M12. I with the M12 had the master as well, and the Z28 had the High Low Switch.

I received a text from Brad he said " Killer " " Great job " . He will try and record a video of the amp before he leaves for his overseas tour later this month. Brad owns and toured with an old Z 28 2 X10. As for release date I'm hoping to receive the output transformers this week. And the the 1X12 cabs in RED by months end , fingers crossed. A couple of dealers are chopping at the bit with requests for pre-orders. Z

It's just a fantastic amplifier.

Been eagerly awaiting the Z28 MkII. Definitely in for a red one.
Curious if there will only be red combos, or red heads also…

I was trying to convince myself I didn’t need another amp. I was doing pretty well until he said RED.

Black heads only , over 90% of Z speaker cabs are Black so this will match a large majority of extension cabs to the Z 28 MKII head. Z

Glad to see the increased interest in the Z 28 MKII. I guess the color RED has ignited , lit the fuse so to speak, in demand, nice. With help from Brad RED has turned into a favorite , and recognisable color for Z Amps.

Am I understanding this correctly....Black heads and Red combos and that's it for the MKII?
