Bear in mind the EZG is an AB763 cct (with added master volume), the same as you'd find in a BF Super Reverb, Bandmaster, Deluxe etc and various others, and its common that these will start to break up at round 4½ on the volume dial. This is generally very loud and is the sweet spot most players aim to get to. I dont think you would be up at that level in sub 250 seat gigs. Speakers make a huge difference mind.
It is a smoother sound than the Dr Z, and (although I haven't been able to crank it other than to "test" it on it's maiden voyage, it doesn't break up, even at ridiculously loud volume. As the main audience at the moment is The Good Lady, the fact that she liked the sound - and I tried a number of double-blind tests - is also a plus.
I goosed it with a Tube Factor to push it over the edge inna valve stylee. Tried it for the first time yesterday, and couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
Don't know about the 50.
Thanks, great info!
I haven't tried one, but I've heard good things. At least it's attainable, unlike a SSS!
it's nothing like an SSS, I've used the Clean Machine a fair bit, and it's not voiced like the SSS number 2, 4 or 5 which are the "famous" ones.
I'd VERY strongly advise you to go and play these amps before considering trying to spend this much money, and I'd VERY strongly advise you to try the 100w amps at the volumes you want to use before making any decisions.
Cheers!
I used the 75watt version to try to get around this as I was concerned by keeping head room, the 75watt doesn't quite sound the same as it uses a different tube configuration, not quite as bell like, but a little warmer, a very nice amp too, still a little loud, but a lot more usable than the 100w
it was basically a nice Fender Twin with a more advanced set of tone controls. I stopped using them due to lack of UK support, too much volume, and they are quite a big unit in terms of size and weight.
it's more a half headroom switch than half power.
