Sorry I missed your question earlier

Amplifiednation noted
did you get that face plate made?
I use FrontpanelExpress software and design the front and rear panel with that. It is anodized aluminum milled and not filled engraving on this one just raw aluminum showing through the black anodizing.

Dr. Z,

It's refreshing to see a top amp builder with such a sharing and friendly attitude.

Mikey hey buddy, I really enjoy my Dr Z Stangray as well. Mine is the S series with badge.

Changed the 212 cabinet over to a Blue and Gold combination. That really sounds good as well.

The two Blues sounded great and can handle the power no problem but people kept saying add a Gold.

I have four years now on those tubes but in the past 6 to 8 months she has been sitting at home while I play my own amps live.

Fired her up this afternoon, this a nice version of the TW Rocket seems smoother, soft feel with nice blend of bass and treble.

Will find out tomorrow how it sounds through the Z 212 with blue/gold.

I would recommend to buy the real deal or build one.
