So Doc has teased us and I'm hoping for a little more information on this exciting possibility. Looks like it's going to be a Ghia in a 110 combo, so in that sense a "rerelease". We can all put our wish list here about what else it might have, and maybe when DRZ sees the state he has us in he'll share a few more details. My dream is a Ghia with the MV mod, I hope it has that like the last anni edition.

OK a bit more insight into the Ghia release. Yes it will have Master Volume, the great sounding Post Phase Inverter type. I found a great sounding 10 " speaker , after many plug-in plays you will be amazed at how BIG it sounds. Trying out a new color combination. Also working on a new 35th. anniversary special edition badge. It will be perfect for at home music room, recording studio, prayer & worship, and small club grab and go. I'm having the new front panel's artwork being done for approval. As it's been lately the cabs will be long lead time , but I'm looking for an early spring release.

Z Doc, will the cab be pretty much the same as your previous 1x10 cabs or will it be the newer 1/2” ply “lite” construction?

The older 1X10 cabs were built with Baltic Birch heavier and a bit tighter and smaller sounding. Poplar is my wood of choice , just a bit tougher to source. Z

My 2011(?) 1x10 Ghia combo did not sound small. I had a 10" gold in it, and it was such a wonderful grab-n-go amp.
It was a tough decision whether to keep that Ghia or my Remedy. In the end, the Remedy won out as I'm a life-long plexi fanboy.

This is really good news!! I have an original 1x10 with a gold and built in z brake, and it is a little heavy for its size. I will definitely be ordering the 35th anniversary. I have been taking jazz guitar lessons on Zoom, and last night my guitar teacher was like “it looks like you have a Dr. Z museum behind you”. Haha. I showed him every Z I had last night (z-lux mkii combo, Ghia 1x10, EMS with matching cab, DB4 bluesbreaker cab, Rt 66, Z-28 mkii combo) and now he is very intrigued. He’s had a bad run with some “boutique” tube amps lately, quality wise, and man did I talk up the Z amps and the service you guys provide. Hopefully he will be buying a Dr Z soon. Anyway, The 35th anniversary ghia should fit in nicely with the others. Thanks again Doc.

I’m going to tread lightly here, but I have to say I didn’t much like the MV on the LImited Edition Heads. I am though looking forward to this Ghia, its sounds very exciting.

Sounds AWESOME! I have an older ghia 2x10 with mv mod. Got a gold and a z10 in it... Sounds mega!
But a smaller and lighter 1x10 could be just what the dr ordered!!

I have a ghia with the new style ppimv. It works great! Just like the Cure, Maz18mkII, Z28mkII, and all the others that feature Docs post phase inverter master volume.

Z I’d say you can’t miss then, and I should probably look around for something to make room for one. I really can’t wait to hear what speaker you are going to be using.

Are the dimensions of the new 1-10 cabinets the same as the old 1-10 cabinets? In other words, do I need to buy a new cover? ;>}

Nice. Thank you.
Because the other night my wife said, “We’ve got to get you a small amp that doesn’t hurt your back.” ;>}
