NEW Dr. Z Z-28 Head
General Info
The Z-28 is a 6V6 based amp. It utilizes the format of the Route 66, that is, a EF-86 pre- amp, a unique Volume, Bass, and Treble full drive tone stack, and a tube rectified power supply. The Z-28 is rated at approximately 22 watts, so it fits under the Route 66 and the KT-45. It has a more American type tone, which some have described as Brown Tolexed Deluxe. The sweet sparkle of the 6V6 is ever present, along with a smooth full distortion at a very useable volume level. I have maintained a very tight bottom end, something that has been lacking in some 6V6 designs. Electro-Harmonix 6V6 at a reasonable 375 Volt plate level, I was very impressed with this tube and knew I had to design an amp which used it.
The Z-28 is available as a head, or as a 2x10 or 4X10 combo.

Comments from Dr. Z
"I was amazed at the sound of this amp when coupled to a 4X10 cab, all the tone of a 4X10 Bassman , but "gives up the goods" much quicker. I didn't set out to make a 4x10 combo, but this amp just called out for it."

with a Stock PRS McCarty straight into the amp, and recorded
with a Shure SM-57 and an AKG 414. The amp is a Z-28 2x10 combo...check
