Thanks Mike - great to have you here :-) Would you agree these amps are the flagship Z's...or is that like asking you to choose your favourite child? :P Cheers!
WITH THAT SOUND ONE COULD BE THE GURNING CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!everything working as it should....loud and proud!don't know how you stayed on the seat.lol.great sounds.luv it.cheers ....
A Swart STR-Tweed is a very good sounding 5 watt amp with extra tube gain stage and 12 inch speaker. Gets plenty loud but not overkill like the higher wattage amps. Not quiet. I have that with a blue Celestion alnico and other Swarts, And several 5 and 20 watt Tungsten amps and a Z-Wreck Jr head. And a Universal Audio OX. Playing a tube amp head through the OX and using good headphones such as Shure SRH840 sounds like the real deal on a concert stage. At any time of day.
Your Strat has some serious mojo going on. I'm not usually a straight up Strat fan but yours always sounds so awesome. Dimed through those amps it was insane! As I was watching that part I was thinking "I bet he can feel the sound pressure waves pummeling his back" and sure enough you mentioned it at the end. Great stuff. Cheers!
I have a maz18 junior Mark 1 with the blue celestion and also a tone King imperial Mark 1 with a gold celestion that I run in Stereo and the two of them together is just glorious! They really compliment each other so well. The doctor Z has that beautiful organic breakup while the tone King does the black face Fender Deluxe Reverb better than the fender! Having said that I think that my rig sounds far better than either of these amps that were demoed today. I thought that they sounded harsh and lacked that organic thing that my Maz 18 Junior has. I'm not knocking on your playing or your choice of material to demo these amps. They just didn't do it for me, just my two cents worth and obviously we're all different and tone is so subjective. But as usual it was a great demo and the presentation was really well done the editing really well done so please don't think that I'm hating on anybody here!
Dr Z is the only amp brand I need in my life now. I have the Z-Wreck Head and matching cab and a Z-Best Cab. The amp is just ridiculous. I'm now keeping an eye out for a Dr Z Antidote to go with my Z-Best Cab and also looking for a red 2x10 Z Cab and a red Stangray Head to go with. Just insane amps, never heard/ played anything like them.
@@JoePerkinsMusic The EMS does look and sound amazing, I'd also love to try that and to does the Ghia, I love the simplicity of that amp. Dam I think I'd have most of them 😅
AWESOME! Love the tones. 2 Amps > 1 Amp always :) I use a JTM45 and a Super Reverb like that... yeah my neighbors hate me aswell , apart from this old guy that lives close he really likes rock´n Roll ^^
I really enjoyed this video Joe and the Z-Master still has a place in my heart (one day i'll get it). I have two questions regarding amps: 1. How do you decide which amps are going to get paired? Personally i like the idea of paring a high wattage (something like a Twin, Bassman, Plexi so in the 50-100watt range) with a cranked low wattage combo (something in the 5-15wattage range) so with the guitar at full volume you get this big rock sound and then when you lower the volume of the guitar, the small combo "disappear" and you hear this beautiful clean tone. 2. I know you like British voice amps but i never heard you talk about Laney or Selmer amps, do you have any plans of buying more british voiced amps?
Hi Enrico! To be honest, I don't often pair amps nowadays - I prefer to use a 2x12 with different speakers, to create a similar effect but at lower volumes! But pairing low wattage & high wattage is something a lot of people do - and lower powered amps tend to have less lows and a more snarly midrange which compliments bigger, thumpier amps. I'd love to check out Laney/Selmer/etc but I've just never got around to it...hopefully one day soon! :-)
it would be cool to dye the air to see how much it's moving/ the patterns being made... unfortunately, the only way i know how to do that would be highly toxic.
BRILLIANT , I can add more then Thank You so much Joe.
Thanks Mike - great to have you here :-) Would you agree these amps are the flagship Z's...or is that like asking you to choose your favourite child? :P Cheers!
Those amps sounded INCREDIBLE dimed! That PastFX chorus sounded so so sooooo good, so lush!
Loved when you used the PastFx Stereo chorus.
You know that Junior needed a spot on video. Perky it was epic. The sounds from all the guitars was crazy good, just such a big sound.
Aha...it's in dire need of new strings at the moment and I've just not got round to giving it TLC! :P
the humbuckers with treble booster was incredible sounding!!! dang!!! woo hoo!!!!
WITH THAT SOUND ONE COULD BE THE GURNING CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!everything working as it should....loud and proud!don't know how you stayed on the seat.lol.great sounds.luv it.cheers

Aha - I was strapped in ;-)

"Welcome to the next episode of 'Why My Neighbors Hate Me'! LOL, well done Joe! Great sounds! I love my Z-Master as well.
Aha!! Yeah it's a mega amp...surprised I haven't seen more of them out in the wild!
Your neighbors will hate me for saying this, but it sounded glorious with both dimed:)
Aha...maybe Round II is in order ;-)
"Why my neighbours hate me..." 🤣🤣

Oh it's a killer guitar - Strats are one of the vintage guitars I'm _less_ drawn towards, but I've got mine sounding lovely :-)

We all have different tastes - it's all cool :-)
I've got a Z-Wreck and it's PHENOMENAL! Great demo, thanks for doing it.
Couldn’t agree more - stunning amp! :-) Excellent choice!

I'd love to try out the EMS - that thing looks ridiculously good!! And the Carmen Ghia too 🙂
@@JoePerkinsMusic The EMS does look and sound amazing, I'd also love to try that and to does the Ghia, I love the simplicity of that amp. Dam I think I'd have most of them 😅
i really like your riffs,very creative...the amps togethor sound phenominal!thats what you should use on your next studio recordings!
AWESOME! Love the tones. 2 Amps > 1 Amp always :) I use a JTM45 and a Super Reverb like that... yeah my neighbors hate me aswell , apart from this old guy that lives close he really likes rock´n Roll ^^
He sounds like my sort of dude :P
Those amps are really nice.

You rock kind sir!
If you get the opportunity. Pick up a Dr. Z Route 66 - I really think you will love it.
Would love to give one a go :-)
I own both, for some reason with the right strat…….. its who’s next in a box. I also have the same strat, mines a 79
Both epic amps!!
Joe, is the LP you're playing at the 8:30 mark the one that has the Monty's pickups? Great video. Sounds great!!
Nope - that has ThroBak SLE-101s in it :-)
That must have been insane. I've run a 15w valve amp loud at home and it was painful
Yeah...it was brutal! 😳
it would be cool to dye the air to see how much it's moving/ the patterns being made... unfortunately, the only way i know how to do that would be highly toxic.
Gas mask for the next demo? :P
It’s probably a good time to drop the Z symbol due to the the current war in Ukraine 🇺🇦
