The Doctor has delivered once again, and this time it's a beautiful blonde baby! The Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr is one MASSIVE sounding amp stuck in a 1x12 combo.
The Maz 18 Jr is an extremely musical sounding amp, aggressive EL84 tone with that classic voiced mid-range you only hear in a Dr. Z. The clean headroom is borderline absurd in this amp, with a creamy breakup starting around 1 or 2 o'clock on the volume knob. The cut switch is described by Dr. Z himself as a tool used best after an initial EQ of the amp, turning it up for some bite and edge while rolling it back to achieve a warmer, more vintage sound. The HI and LOW inputs really seem to piece this amp together, making you able to achieve essentially the same clean tones with humbuckers as you do with single coils at lower or higher volumes - really rounding it out and adding to the versatility.
With everything from twangy country cleans to some more aggressive modern rock tones, the Maz 18 Jr can handle all needs exceptionally. A great pedal platform, the capability of playing any sized venue or club and the quality you'd expect from a boutique amplifier, this has proved to be the ultimate gigging amplifier.
