tsp17 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Considering head version of these - Anyone had experience with one or both? Always in search of a great clean portable 6L6 tone….not too bright, not too dark, ….tight low end… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoslate Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Had a Suhr Badger 30 (head, through a Marshall 1965A 4x10). Great amp with punchy cleans that I loved! A swell pedal platform, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguarguy Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 The EZG50 is Z's take of a Super Reverb. It's built like a tank. Here's a couple of videos that I think show off some of it's capabilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 He should have called it a "Super Z-verb" the name is kinda ambiguous & not very descriptive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Although he makes a Z-verb already ( I have one ) so maybe that's why 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsp17 Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 (edited) @Jaguarguy thanks for the videos. These give a better sense of it that the ones i found. I got a 20th anniversary version i found on eBay. The seller is in Asheville, so who knows when he’ll be able to ship, but i wanted to support musicians so i sent him the money. Hopefully a little cash infusion will help. He said that “most” of his family and friends are ok and accounted for. Sheesh. Scary stuff. He said the nearest functional UPS is an hour away. Roads flooded…geez. Tough going for those folks. I told him not to ship until safe to go. P.S. the Z-verb is 6v6. This one is 6L6. Looking forward to getting it (someday) Edited October 6 by tsp17 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguarguy Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 BTW - here's a pic of my EZG 50. It was my first Dr. Z. Sitting on top of it is a Dr. Z Galaxie that was owned by Joe Walsh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsp17 Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 (edited) @Jaguarguydid you special order that red tolex and wood front panel or did they offer it that way as an option? Very cool vibe. also- correcting my prior post- my purchase was on Reverb. Not eBay. Edited October 7 by tsp17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolero Posted Friday at 11:43 AM Share Posted Friday at 11:43 AM Do you get high from the tolex on that ex-Joe Walsh amp, once it warms up? Joe Walsh is the man....Joe Walsh for president! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted Friday at 11:46 AM Share Posted Friday at 11:46 AM Harvey Reams? Wasn't he in a bunch of Boogie Nights style movies in the 70s? I think I've seen him naked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsp17 Posted Saturday at 06:40 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 06:40 PM (edited) Dr. Z EZG-50 is now in the house. This thing is a beast. Big muscular sound. Can barely turn up to 11:00 volume even with the ‘pre’ at 9-10:00. Geez. 50 watts but feels like more. Love the 6L6 feel. reverb was a little noisy/hum. Changed the tube. Much better.

Jaguarguy Posted Sunday at 06:06 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:06 PM Even though the EZG is 50 watts, they are Dr. Z watts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t believe the hype about Z WATTS. It is a beast. I get it now. I’m playing small/med places. Keeping the “pre” low seems to work best for me. Feedback an issue with hollow and semi which is what i play. I’ll keep tweaking…. I bet cranked it is close to as loud as a Twin Reverb or Dual Showman. Scary.

That's why solid and semi-hollow body gits were created. You might need to invest in a 535 for playing out with that Z rig. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
