"...Dazzling
harmonic complexity, great reverb, and old world craftsmanship."

Info

After a successful
eight year production run, we have upgraded and enhanced the classic
tone of the MAZ-38. The updates include additional front-end
gain (for a bit more drive at lower volumes), a larger output transformer
for a wider bandwidth with clear lows and a less compressed sound.
By incorporating the phase inverter design from the MAZ
18 Jr, the MAZ 38 Sr. now uses no negative feedback ,
which provides "more, more, more..." More "thickness"
more harmonic content, and more sustain. We have also replaced the
presence control with the extremely useful "Cut" control,
another innovation of the MAZ 18 Jr. So the child reshaped the father,
and the MAZ 38 Senior is the result.
 The
combination of all these improvements "adds some cholesterol"
to the notes. This amp allows you to hear everything: pickups, wood,
fretboard material, strings, pick attack. Tones are clear, crisp,
and responsive to every one of the guitar player's nuances. The
design improvements give you all this along with a little more drive
and sustain. The new transformer keeps the bass tight, focused,
and punchy to give you a great "3-D" clean tone.
Its distortion
is described as smooth-as-satin, and it is truly unique. Want to
add even more depth to its already luscious tone? Crank on Dr. Z's
specially designed Z-verb, and hear the biggest sounding reverb
to ever reach your ears.
The Dr. Z MAZ-38
is a truly versatile amp for the working or studio musician. Whether
your forte' is Blues, Country, Roots, or Rock, The MAZ 38 Senior
will fit the bill.
The MAZ 38
Senior is available as a head with reverb, or as a 1x12, 2x10,
or 2x12 reverb combo.
NEW!
The
MAZ 38 Senior is now available in a "NR" or non-reverb
model in all the configurations above.

"The MAZ-38
is the amp that put Dr. Z on the map. Guitar Player
called it 'the best sounding Reverb combo we have ever heard, period."
The new refinements offer an extra quality without killing the things
that made the original MAZ-38 great in its own right."
