Hi all,
Having sold my Slant 6V combo I'm back looking for the perfect second amp to complement my Rambler.
Tempted as I am by another 1x12 combo like a Skylark or Impala, I'm going to stick with the search for a single channel head and 2x12 cab that does the massive punchy blackface type clean tone thing and has good reverb, and use pedals for overdrive.
The Dr Z EZG-50 sounds like it could be a contender, and Dan Patlansky certainly makes his sound awesome. However, I've heard other people describe them as a bit 'meh' (a good amp but nothing that special in terms of tone/character).
Any opinions on this?
Anyone tried the EZG-50 and the SW50R and if so, how did they compare? I know the Morgan is a bit more Dumble-inspired, but on paper they are both pretty similar spec amps...
I'm also considered getting a Rift PR35 head made, as I've always liked the Princeton thing.... I'm going round in circles with my amp quest. Help!!

I had one and if I was still gigging I'd still have it. When up to gig volumes it is an excellent amp on its own and it also responds brilliantly to pedals. You need a decent cab, an oversize 2x12 or Z 4x10.
You have two options to get the goods at lower volume, a clean boost (in fact two of them is a good idea, one always on, the other for a solo boost) last in the pedal chain just to push the pre-amp, or an attenuator. Now the Hotplate works very well down to -8db with this style of amp. The Z Airbrake I had was also good.
Lower efficiency speakers would knock some off but I wouldn't recommend it with this amp al the speakers that sound good are quite efficient.
In short, the Brunetti looks very much like the ticket - I'd never come across them before. Where did you get it from @Mickeyji
