My "Maz 8 wanted" ad in the B&S paid off yesterday. I got a really clean cream colored version with Alnico Blue speaker. Ever since I sold my Maz 18 I've been haunted by that sound. Nothing I've purchased since has come close, especially the modelers. Both the Kemper and the Fractal products have many great sounds, but they don't do Dr. Z as well as they do Fender, for example. The distortion and the midrange on these amps is unique and no one else seems to have anything like it. And now I have that specific tone back here. Woot! I'd post an image but I don't have any hosted yet... Steve

That's great Steve, and a blonde one to boot. Congratulations.

I love My 8 Steve, and both Pentode & Triode are excellent (along with the EQ bypass). Your guitars will be happy as well! Congrats!

Congrats Steve.
Do you think the Maz 8 and 18 are pretty similar with respect to tone ?
Have you noticed any major differences?

I was sold when BW demonstrated a Maz 8 combo at 2011 Z Fest. Perfect amp for a medium volume gig. In fact, I got told that I was too loud over my bass players 500 watt bass amp. Have fun Steve!

Congrats, Steve. My 8 also has a Blue. I love the sounds from that amp. And, as Bill said, it's plenty loud.

Great news, Steve. I've got a Blue in my Maz 8 too, it's a great combination.

Congrats Steve. Do you think the Maz 8 and 18 are pretty similar with respect to tone ? Have you noticed any major differences? Well it’s been a long while since I sold my Maz 18, but this has much of the same DNA from what I’m hearing.
