So many amps and not enough time. I pulled out my MKII today after giving it some well deserved rest and it was an instant love fest all over again. I’m having a hard time wondering why I have all these Z’s when my heart is true for the Z28MKII. It’s everything the Z28 is and everything we asked for in one package. We asked for more power and we go it. We asked for more highs and we go it. We asked for a Master Volume and we got it. We asked for it to sound like a Z28 and we got it. You asked for an FX, but let’s face it the EF86 is a Pedal Players Dream TUBE! YOU DON”T NEED THE FX LOOP!!! Well I have one on mine and I don’t used it, and i’m not sure how that’s supposed to make you feel.

I'm not seeing a gold faceplate on your MkII yet, either!!

I'm not seeing a gold faceplate on your MkII yet, either!! No Blonde Tolex, Oxblood Grill Cloth, or a Gold Faceplate. I had to make some concessions, plus it wouldn’t have matched that cool Pontiac Z28 in the promo.

The master volume is the ticket for me. It reminds me of how much I loved the MKI, but just so much more usable strictly due to the MV. I can play the amp at home, at church, or any venue now due to the 30 watt rating and extremely usable PPIMV. Once I got the the right 5881 tubes in there and the alnico cream, it just does what I want it to do so well. No need for any attenuation! This is up there as one of my favorite amps I’ve ever played. The only amp I love as much right now is my Carr Original Mercury. They both sound amazing together at home and cop most of the sounds I love to hear.

You gotta be careful shooting you mouth off around the house. I’m like this amp is incredible, and the wife is like “So why do you have all the other amps? I really don’t like it when she does that, but I do understand that I could problem downsize a bit. The Master Volume and the Combo is a perfect setup. If I lost them all, I would just order another MKII Z28 or two.

The cab sounds amazing as is, and relatively speaking this amp is super light weight!
