I will go play through the amp for a little bit and see if those look a little less unappetizing

I cranked the amp today. Got 112 dbs. But even though that is loud, it didnt feel as loud as the mgl when at same volume. I dont know if it is a trick. But the amp is interesting, because even that high on master, you can still get cleans by lightly hitting strings. And when it is maybe 11 oclock on the master, you can get dirty by digging in. Very dynamic.

As i was playing different things, i was constantly making micro adjustments on tone and volume knob to manipulate my sound and that gives a ton of sounds. It is a cool amp, but far more effective knobs on the amp than I have ever experienced.

Tomorrow I will have a lot more time to mess with it and maybe make a clip when i figure out how to dial it perfect for what i am going for

Every Z I played is dynamic in this way. Did I miss what speaker you're running? Thinking speakers will make a huge difference in sound with that amp. Maybe one that isn't the best sounding at one or 2 things, but great at all things, like a V-Type, would smooth out those micro tone/volume adjustments.

Alnico gold. I was able to dial it in a lot more today and figured out that i could control so much more with my attack once I got the eq solid and figured out how the cut/volume/master work together

I had an Alnico Gold in a Down Brownie, brown deluxe clone. Wasn't my fav speaker.
I'd def be trying different speakers with the Maz. Looking at the Z forum, seems like G12h30 and Alnico speakers are the preferred choice.
I'm stoked for you. That's an amp I always wanted to spend time with at home.

I think it would be cool to try with other speakers, but i am afraid I may lose that amazing chime. I haven't even tried it with my cab, because I am so in love with the sound I am getting

I feel the same about the Scumnicos in the TOV I just picked up.
If you use the word chime one more time I'm gonna start calling you doc and tell people you have mojo. :LOL:

Chime chime chime....
Wait, "Mojo"?!
Cmon man. My username.
For the record, I don't own shoes like that, and wear khakis like twice a year for work meetings.
Chime, beotch.
