Dr. Z Amplification Maz 18 Jr NR Combo

This amp is very popular with the country players. It has a great tone for guys you like to chick pick and get that chimy clean moderately broken up overdrive sound. These amps prides themselves on being somewhat versatile but more user friendly tone machines. This amp is the same as every other Maz 18 Jr but just in a solid red tolex option. Luckily there is no up charge for this combo color. You get the same great tone and features but just in a cool looking covering. This one also doesn't feature any reverb. This amp sounds exactly like the head version but just in the head model.

SOUNDS


This is an amp that will take pedals very well. It has a nice effects loop to allow its user to insert delays and chorus sound into the effects loop and still keep the same preamp tone. For not being a whole lot of power it still packs a big punch in volume and tone. That amp sound very big and that may be one of their selling points. Their amps aren't a hole lot of power but have a brilliance of volume and girth that make them sound incredible.

These amps have a familiar control knob called "cut" which you may have seen on another amp called the VOx Ac30. This allows you to dial in some of that class grind. The "cut" knob may be the most useful and versatile tone shaping tool on any guitar amp. Throughout its range, it produces a large variety of sounds to satisfy players using all guitars for most every style of music. The "cut" knob is best used after the EQ is all set; turn it up for extra edge, turn it down for a more vintage sound. The tone of this amp is pretty good. It has a nice blend of the power tubes and preamp valves.

OVERALL OPINION

At new these amps come in right at around $1650. That is a great price for an amp that sound this good. There is no up charge or down charge for this combo in this black tolex covering. Some other colors and options to charge more but not this one. It is a very usable gigging amp and will treat its owner quite well. I would recommend this amp to anyone who used to like the way a Vox AC30 sounded before they started making everything in China. This is going to appeal to those type of players and also the guys who like Fender but need a little bit more drive in the tone.

These amplifiers are quickly becoming one of my all time favorite clean amps. Dr. Z has such a great classic rock tone and what they are all about it pure tone.

It has a great tone for guys you like to chick pick and get that chimy clean moderately broken up overdrive sound. These amps prides themselves on being somewhat versatile but more user friendly tone machines. These amps are great for just about any style of music other than metal. . This amp has the same great features and tone as the black standard but just in a salt and pepper grill cloth and of coarse the great looking red tolex covering. There is no up charge for this custom job but is sure is worth it it were an extra cost.

This amp is very popular with the country players. It has a great tone for guys you like to chick pick and get that chimy clean moderately broken up overdrive sound.

You get the same great tone and features but just in a cool looking covering. The tone of this guitar amp is the same as the 1x12 version but you get a little more air pushed which sounds better due to the extra speaker.
