General Information

The MAZ 38 is one of Dr Z’s most enduring designs.  It is the perfect combination of sound and power.  4 EL84s with no negative feedback give you a wide pallet to work from.  The 38 has enough clean headroom to make for a great pedal platform and gives up the goods for a great drive sound at reasonable levels.  The 38 can satisfy many different styles and playing approaches.  You are able to dial in mid 60s blackface sounds as well as UK flavored chime with the full EQ and “cut” control. The onboard spring reverb can lift your tone with a subtle ambience or sending you surfing the surging waves of the Cali coast.  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 will fit the bill.

The front panel features Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, Reverb, Cut, and Master. The back panel features a 4,8, and 16 ohm speaker out. An effects loop and our variable boost footswitch is also standard.  This boost can give your leads extra gain or your clean tone a bump into breakup at the stomp of the pedal. The 38 is powered by a quartet of cathode-biased EL84s and a 5AR4 rectifier. The Legacy Edition of this amp includes Dr Z’s novel 1/2 power switch on the rear panel effectively giving you the option of a MAZ 18 or MAZ 38.
