I ordered a Z28 M11 head yesterday from Sweetwater. Got an email today informing me that the ETA is in April. Wasn't expecting that! 7-8 months? Yikes!

Wow! That’s a long time!
I realize today that Z 28 is house in the same cabinet as the Z Master. I am one of those guys that doesn’t really like red, but a Z-28 in a blonde cabinet? Now that would be irresistible? I wonder if that would ever become a custom option?

I ordered a Z28 M11 head yesterday from Sweetwater. Got an email today informing me that the ETA is in April. Wasn't expecting that! 7-8 months? Yikes! Sweetwater is just stating our currant lead time on all new orders which is approx. 35 weeks . Certainly a double edged sword, but an accurate quote no BS. When we released the Z 28 MKII last week we received well over 100 orders for them from our dealer base in 2 days, pretty amazing I must say. I'm addressing the Z 28 MKII orders as best I can, I have two builders and myself dedicated to at least 3 units a week , hopefully more which will be shipped as completed to help the backlog. Building say 4 to 5 a week we can catch up on the currant orders in say 15 weeks as we built 30 units prior to release date , fingers crossed. Remember these are 100% hand built , hand wired , no PC board , old world manufactured no short cuts or mass production built by master techs. Like I said it is a good problem to have as a manufacture, but real life supply issues as well as employee issues make it very tough to produce in a timely manor. DR.Z

Guys, this amp is brilliant and will be well worth the wait. Get one ordered! It does not disappoint. The most unique amp I've ever plugged into.

Great response Doc and congratulations on the response to the roll out of the Z-28 MkII. The MkI is still my favorite of the Z models I have owned or played. Keep on soldering!!

It's my favorite Z amp ever made. Well, I found a MKii head for sale with an Oxblood grille. It's scheduled to arrive tomorrow!. I have several 1x12 cabs with an assortment of speakers (A-Type, V-Type, G12 H30 Anni, ASW KTS 70, and a Jensen Blackbird 40). From what I've read the Creamback is the go to speaker. Has anyone tried it with the Neo Creamback? If so what are your thoughts.

Congrats! I can't speak to the Neo Creamback but the Alnico Creamback is really really good.

Weighs about 17 pounds and gives up nothing to any other 1x12 I have. Just a great all-around cab. I realize that’s not very specific but if you plugged in to it blind you’d just say that’s a good sounding cab with no weirdness and you’d forget about it.

Congrats! I can't speak to the Neo Creamback but the Alnico Creamback is really really good. I got to play with premiumplus's amp. No kidding, the Alnico Creamback sound really good in this amp. Very nice "sparkly" top end. I cannot say enough good things about this amp and would agree with all the comments above, the wait time is worth it Todd

Wow! What a great sounding amp! Tried it with 4 different 1x12 cabs and they all sound great but the one loaded with an ASW KT70 sounds amazing with this amp. My go to amp has been the Z-Plus for the past 4-5 years but I think it's about to get jealous. I was a bit concerned about an additional 20 watts since my band typically plays smaller gigs, but the master volume on the 28 works so well I'm convinced that won't be a problem. Got 2 gigs this weekend and I'm taking the 28 with me. Just a side note: I always take my M12 with me to gigs for a backup but have never had to use it. You can't underestimate the reliability of Z amps.

My Ghia isn't loud enough for my current situation. my MAZ 28 R mkii is awesome there (best Z amp ever?). Was considering getting a Mazerati (not GT) used but i'm looking to get a Z-28 mkii head

received my Z-28 mkii head today.. super wow! just received my Z-28 mkii amp today and took it for a spin. It sounds incredible.. more Fenderish than Voxish .. but thicker and chimey-er. Kind of reminds me of my MAZ 38 mkii but a different voice... you can really hear the 6L6 glassy top end and big bottom sound compared to what i've heard of the 6v6s in the Z-28 Mki or EL84 chime of the MAZ and the sound def has that Dr. Z DNA and punch. i haven't been able to turn up the Master past 10oc because of the baby. One of the really great things about it is the way that pedals play through it. (EF86 preamp?) It is truly like no other Amp that I have experience when using pedals. I used my JHS Sweet Tea (Angry Charlie plus Moonshine) and Julia chorus and NUX Atlantic Reverb and Fulltone tremolo. they all sound different through this amp .. better!L Less like pedals if that makes any sense? very pleased! Highly recommend!
