(Runtime: 142 minutes)
Go inside the Dr. Z Amps factory and see how Dr. Z and his crew create their handwired all-tube amplifiers. Dr. Z goes into great detail and gives an in-depth and educational description of the following topics:
The design origins of each amp model. Here you'll come to know how and why every Z amp was designed and created, and whether it was inspired from a sound in Dr. Z's head or from a collaboration with a pro player.
Cabinet construction and speakers. See the inside of a Z-Best and why it sounds like it does; grill cloth and baffle being put together; open back vs. closed back; 2X12 and 4X10 designs. Plus, each Celestion model that Dr. Z uses is featured and described.
Amplifer circuit design and bias technique. A MAZ 38 is thoroughly explored and explained from the input stage to the output stage and all of its circuitry and components in between. Also, watch the Dr. perform a bias adjust on a Route 66 and understand why and how it's needed.
Vacuum tubes. All the various makers and models of preamp, power, and rectifier tubes that Z uses are discussed and identified for their sonic qualities and specific uses.
Dr. Z Amps history and shop tour. The story of how Dr. Z Amps came to be and how his first amps were created. Also, an intimate look into the Z factory to see how his crew wires, tests, and assembles their amps.
All of this exclusive footage is here and much, much more!
