Dr Z SRZ 65 amp head in Ivory
EL34 power tubes and 12AX7 preamp tubes for classic British voicing.
A powerful rock amp, often compared to Marshalls (particularly JCM800) but with superior clarity and articulation, avoiding mud at higher gain.
Excels at classic rock, blues, and hard rock; cleans up beautifully when rolling back the guitar volume.
Minimal features include Gain, Master, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Presence, all the usual basic amp controls. Simple to operate and you can’t get a bad sound out of it.
These are a great platform for pedals due to its responsive design.
Surprisingly good clean tones…shimmering cleans by reducing the gain and cranking the master.
It shines with British-style speakers like Celestion Greenbacks, Creamback 65s, Classic 80 etc
Famous users of this amp include Joe Walsh and Buddy Whittington.
Just noticed one of the chicken head knobs is missing in the photo. Rest assured it will be provided if the amp is sold.
From the Dr Z website:
The SRZ-65 is one of Dr Z’s first designs going back 20 years. This amp was ahead of it’s time. You get a tube rectified EL34 output section and a classic three 12AX7 cascaded gain front end in all it’s hand wired glory. The tonal possibilities are vast. Gain and power combine to deliver pure crunch making this the ultimate rock amp. Simply roll the volume back on your guitar and you’ll hear the shimmering bell like cleans from the EL34s. The SRZ-65 is perfect for dialing up modern and classic rock sounds as well as old school British Steel.
Coming in at 60 watts the SRZ-65 can handle stages big and small. The master and gain settings allow many different shades of clean to crunch. The full EQ and Presence circuit let you dial in the perfect blend of top end, middle, and bass for your guitar. Single coil and humbucker equipped guitars are equally at home plugged in to the SRZ-65. Around back are 4, 8, and 16 ohm speaker outs as well as a convenience AC outlet. The SRZ-65 is available as a head only and matches up great with any of our speaker cabs…especially the Z Best!
