General Information

In 2009, Dr Z created the Remedy expressly for those seeking the full on assault and sweet crunch of a Plexi style circuit. Using four 6V6s and coming in at 40 watts, the Remedy has all the spit and growl required for everything from burning your guitar at Monterey to blasting High Voltage rock and roll.  There’s more: the Remedy features a one of a kind 1/2 power switch. Flip the switch on the rear panel and go from 40 watts to 20 watts with no alteration to your sound. You’ll experience the same sonic joy and touch sensitive response in either setting. Beginning in 2013 the Remedy has been updated with a post phase inverter master volume and footswitchable EQ bypass giving the player even more gain, tone and volume options.

On the front panel the Remedy features a blended volume configuration. Both the High and Normal volumes are always at your disposal. You can dial in clear top end and full bodied roundness for any size room. No need to jumper the inputs, the Doctor has already taken care of it. Also available is a full EQ compliment of Treble, Middle, Bass as well as a post-phase inverter master volume for dialing in your desired sound at any volume level. Should you feel the need to go to 11 the EQ bypass footswitch is there to help you make the leap from Malcom to Angus. Even without EQ the High/Normal volumes afford the user a substantial amount of tone adjustment.

The back panel includes 4,8 and 16 ohm outputs, the half power switch and the EQ bypass footswitch jack.

The Z Best 2×12 closed back cab is an animal all its own. We have utilized a Theile Ported design which allows us to dial in the full frequency range of the guitar. Low end is determined by the port width, mid response by the shelf depth, and top end by choice of speakers. Placed vertically, the Z Best delivers a tuned, focused sound yet has the airy qualities associated with open back cabs due to the front port. When placed horizontally, you pick up more low end as the front port is then coupled with the floor. This is a long throw cabinet that will get the sound to the back of the room. Standard speaker configuration is a Celestion Vintage 30 and Celestion G12H30, see your dealer for available speaker options.

New for 2017: We have reduced the weight of the Z-Best using an imported Italian poplar ply, maintaining the massive, 4×12 resonance the Z-Best is known for and shaving off a whopping 19 lbs for a total weight of 45 lbs (with Celestion H30 and V30 speaker configuration).
