Like the title say's new to me showed up just about 20 minutes ago. I spent a few minutes running her through the paces just to make sure everything works as it should! Sounds pretty good and I'm looking forward to learning this amp!

Welcome to the Maz 8 forum, Dave. What speaker did it come with ?
I got mine from Humbucker in 2016 with a M65 Creamback. I'd like to try an Alnico Blue if I could find a well broken in used one.
Congratulations on getting a great little amp.

The amp has a Celestion G12 Neo in it right now that sounds OK but, I have a used Blue coming next week....My favorite speaker!

Are the creambacks less desirable?

Not to me. IMHO the Creamback is a great speaker in the Maz 8. I think it does the mahshall/british style sound really well. But, it's the only speaker I've had in the amp so you know ... gas. If I remember right, Doc thought the Creamback sounded really good in the Z-Plus. It seems to be kind of an all-around speaker that works well with a lot of amps.

The blue will set you free with the Maz 8. Good choice.

After sometime with this amp I'm wondering why I haven't had one here for a few years already? Great little amp! I freaking love the Maz sound!

The Cel Blue is fantastic in this amp. I think you'll really like it, Dave.

What Mike says! I ran a bunch of speakers in my Maz 8 before landing on the Blue. It's a great match, sounds good clean or driven.
The MKII update is worth it's price twice over, if yours isn't already done. I really didn't like the Master Volume in my 8 until I got that update. It's like the 'Level' control in a Cure; it's just a perfect MV.

Fwiw, I recall that the Cel Blue was Doc's first choice speaker for the MAZ 8.
