Dr. Z Prescription ES Head in Blonde
Definitely in stock right now.
The original RX was always a
controversial amp design; its highly percussive response, “in your face” drive,
immediate attack, and high level of pinch note harmonics ( as demonstrated on
"Dead City" featuring Buddy Whittington,) left less talented players like
Wichita missing the true virtues of the amp.
A collaboration between Master
Tele Player Brad Paisley, and Master Amp Builder Mike Zaite has given birth to
the all new Prescription Extra Strength. The new "RX ES" is completely revised,
from the input jacks to the output jacks it shares no circuits with old
RX.
The RX ES design structure is
unique for a DR.Z Amp, it uses an EF -86 pentode set up in a post EQ gain
layout. This alignment yields a rich harmonic complexity and an almost active
response from the tone stack. Its dual calibrated inputs allow for sustaining
gain in the Hi input, and a rich warm clean in the Lo input jack. The RX ES also
features an "Overdose" toggle switch, which engages a 3 dB boost for added drive
and gain without altering the preset tone, same EQ'd tone just much more
DRIVE.
DR.Z's old friend and avid
supporter of DR.Z Amps since 1989, Joe Walsh demo'd the RX ES and ordered one on
the spot to use on the Eagles Oct '04 tour of Japan. Look and listen to his
Blonde RX ES on new Eagles' releases, and upcoming shows.
