I was moving around stuff in my basement and I found this 2x12 combo cab that I have converted to an extension cab. I was able to get Prototype #3 Maz 8 MK II from Doc earlier this year and decide to put that chassis in the 2x12 until I finish remodeling the blonde 1x12 Z combo cab I had planned to put this amp in. It's loaded with a pair of English Greenbacks that are we'll broken in and sounds pretty great. Probably not the best speaker to show off the Maz voice but it's what I have for now. It's final home in the 1 x12 will probably get a blue or 12h I love the pentode/trident switch on this amp. It's like 2 different amps when you go between those modes. The 2x12 is a bit of a beast so parking this next to my desk in my workshop will be a great use for this great sounding amp. I had one of these before and count it as one of my regrets for selling it. So glad to have one back. thanks for a great amp Doc!! God bless, Todd

That with 2 Blues would be tone heaven! And loud enough for most situations. Man, I like the idea the more I think about it. An “8” with two blues.

I dig my Maz 8 MKII, it's in a 1x12 w/Blue. Great sounding amp, but I have never been able to really dig the Triode option. I'm stuck on Pentode, it's a little rock 'n roll beast.

Yes, 2 blues would be great in this cab. We'll see what ends up going in here. I think this 2x12 is going to be a temporary home for the Maz 8. I have a nice nice blonde 1x12 that was a mish mash of blonde and pink skin. I am replacing the pink skin panels with hard wood panels. I think it will look nice and will take a couple of pounds off the cab too. The ash wood was cut from land that I own with my parents. It will look pretty sweet once it's done. . . . someday!

Totally digging my Maz 8 here. All of my guitars sound like themselves in this amp.

I like to play around with the Triode setting at home and I get some cool sounds but I can't make it work in a live band.

My Maz 8 has the Blue. I had it sitting next to my Maz 18 with a G12H so I used one of your Y cables to run the 8 to both speakers. Two speakers and with that combo and this amp sounds huge. I definitely need to add an extension cab.

I definitely need to add an extension cab. its such a great sounding amp, I keep my volume dimmed and control my over all level with the master volume. Sounds sooo good. I do have a blue on the shelf . . . . might need to add it to the mix when this amp gets to its final 1x12 home

When I first got it I didn't like the volume turned up, I felt like any definition the amp had started to fall apart and just sounded "mushy" over 75%. I've been trying a couple other 12ax7's and have a couple other preamp tubes on the way to check out. The TAD 12ax7 helped at the higher volume level, but I feel like I lost some of the sweetness I had at lower. Still looking for the right balance.
