Dr. Z Z-40 Head – NEW Condition! A Rare Find!
The Ultimate High-Headroom Pedal Platform.
Purchased brand new November from Sweetwater. While waiting for the custom matching cab I went and bought a couple other amps. So this Z-40 is in pristine, new condition. With less than 10-15 hours of total testing time on the tubes, and has never left my studio. You are essentially getting a brand-new amplifier tested at volumes less than 88db.
Includes box and all factory packaging along with a new power cord.
The Z-40 is a masterclass in versatile, boutique engineering. Powered by a pair of EL34s, it provides the massive headroom and "big amp" feel required for a professional pedal-based setup, while remaining incredibly touch-responsive and articulate.
Key Features & Highlights:
• Ideal Pedal Platform: High headroom and a full tone stack—featuring the signature Dr. Z "Cut" control—allow it to retain the true character of every pedal in your chain.
• Switchable Rectifier: Features a Tube/Solid State rectifier switch, allowing you to choose between classic vintage "sag" or modern, immediate punch.
• Transparent Effects Loop: Includes a buffered, ultra-quiet effects loop that keeps your signal chain pure and noise-free.
• Post-Phase Inverter Master Volume: Allows you to dial in incredible overdriven tones at volumes suitable for home use without sacrificing the amp's feel.
• Ultra-Low Noise: Designed for the most demanding recording environments and quiet stages.
Condition & Inclusions:
• Condition: Perfect / New (Smoke-free, climate-controlled environment).
• Inclusions: Comes with the original box, power cord, and a copy of the original receipt upon request.
• Usage: Extremely low hours; tested primarily at moderate volumes (approx. 80dB).
Why the Z-40?
If you are moving away from complex multi-channel setups toward a high-quality single-channel arrangement, this is the amp. It is famous for its "blank canvas" properties, letting your guitars and effects shine through with total clarity.
