Sold: Dr Z EZG 50 Blonde Head - Ultimate Fender Super Reverb Now £950
What's Hot
So, I got this as part of a recent deal - was after the 2x10 and the seller was unwilling to split - I was well up for trying it out and, for what it does, it's the bees knees, but just not my normal style and is a serious bit of kit to have knocking around at home instead of in the hands of someone who'll use it. That said, I've been using it as a pedal platform and there's something obscenely pretty about everything it does - it takes pedals like no 'blackface' style amp I've every used and the reverb is incredible.
Had a bit of an issue with fuses/hum at higher volumes but this has since been sorted - see thread in the AMPs section. Hasn't flinched since. In very clean physical condition indeed.
I've also since spent £70 on new preamp and rectifier tubes from Watford Valves (Mullard NOS 12AT7s, Tung Sol RI 12AX7s, JJ GZ34) and the power section had a new matched set of Groove Tubes 6L6GCs put in there very recently and biased/checked over by Roland Lumby at The Amp Clinic. I'll also include the working 12AX7, 12AT7 and rectifier I took out, plus power cable and padded cover.
I'm in Manchester but willing to travel for the right deal. Given a new one is £2k from Peach, with extra valves and cover I'll say £1150 NOW £950!!! Any questions please let me know.
(don't worry, the back panel has all screws and washers, just put it in place for photos!!)

Comments
- Simple Valve amps - in particular Dr Z, MJW or Rift Amps. Heads, 2x10 or 1x12 combos, lower powered preferred but needs to be ‘giggable’ so 10-30 watts I guess. Z28 in particular might clinch it but something else ‘brownface’ would also be cool. An amp having bias tremolo is a major plus for me too.
- Audio Kitchen Big Trees, though there aren’t many about!
- Yamaha THR100 - considering getting one new as the price has come down to £350 for the single channel version new. That might mean there’s something new on the NAMM horizon though!
- Guitar-wise, perhaps some sort of SG, although another guitar will be a hard sell for the Mrs! Always got a soft spot for offsets too but probs not a Squire.
- overdrive or distortion pedals, I prefer them open and raw than smooth and compressed! The Xotic RC Booster in particular has caught my eye.
