Used in excellent, near mint condition.

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.  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, Master, Presence, and Reverb. The back panel features a 4,8, and 16 ohm speaker out. An effects loop and our EQ bypass function is also standard.  The footswitchable EQ bypass gives a great lead boost which effectively makes the 38 a 2 channel amp. The 38 is powered by a quartet of cathode biased EL84s and a 5AR4 rectifier.

This amp houses a Tone Tubby Alnico Red Hemp-cone speaker. The Alnico Red is the Original Tone Tubby, the favorite of Carlos Santana and many others. Rock-solid bottom end, silky rolled-off highs, and midrange that speaks to you. With ample clean headroom and plenty of power, this is a superb all-around speaker.
