This was the first amp offered by Dr. Z Amplifiers nearly 30 ago, and it consistently outsells every other boutique amp out there.

Of course, those of us more familiar with tube amp circuitry can attest that \"less is more\" applies to tube amps perhaps more than any other thing in the known universe. If you fall into the former category, sit back and read a spell. We'd like to educate you a sec if you're up to it. :)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eIn our physical store, the Dr Z Ghia is an amp we love to put people behind as often as we can (don't worry, we don't sell our floor demo amps on the internet). From the moment people start to play it, they can tell something more is going on. While indeed a seemingly simple circuit, the Carmen Ghia produces very complex tones and is known for being very reactive to the player. Play softer and get cleaner tones. Play a bit harder and hear the gentle overdrive and saturation.. Bite into the strings with attitude and the amp will respond in kind! This kind of quality makes an amp very fun and exciting to play. You may drop into your music room, basement, or rehearsal space for a quick fifteen minute jam and find yourself tied up for hours. It's happened...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eAs the volume is increased, tones get thicker and fatter and sustain is increased. The Ghia has a respectable and very usable amount of clean headroom, but as with 99% of all single volume amps, it does break up nicely at higher volume settings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eThe Carmen Ghia has become a favorite in recording studios around the world, but it's also quite comfortable on stage competing with a rabid drummer. This is 18 watts of all tube, point to point, hand-wired, top quality amp here... It's much louder than the norm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePower Output:\u003c\/span\u003e  18 LOUD Watts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOutput Tubes:\u003c\/span\u003e  2 x EL84\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePreamp Tubes:\u003c\/span\u003e  1 x 5751, 1 x 12AX7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRectifier:\u003c\/span\u003e  Tube - 5Y3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eControls:\u003c\/span\u003e  Volume, Tone    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBack panel:\u003c\/span\u003e  4, 8 and 16 ohm outputs\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCircuit Construction:\u003c\/span\u003e All Hand-wired\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; color: #339966;\"\u003eSpeakers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHead:  \u003c\/span\u003eN\/A (check out our huge cab selection: \u003ca style=\"color: #112244;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humbuckermusic.mom\/collections\/dr-z-speaker-cabinets\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ehere\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e1x10\" Combo:\u003c\/span\u003e  Dr. Z Custom (optional Red Fang Alnico at additional charge)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e1x12\" Combo:\u003c\/span\u003e  Celestion Vintage 30 (optional speakers available)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold; color: #339966;\"\u003eDimensions and Weight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHead:\u003c\/span\u003e 17.5\" Wide x 9\" Deep H x 9.5\" Deep, Weight: 24 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e1x10 Combo:\u003c\/span\u003e 17.5\" Wide x 17\" High x 10\" Deep, Weight: 35 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e1x12 Lite Combo:\u003c\/span\u003e 22.5\" Wide x 20\" High x 10\" Deep, Weight: 39 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #339999;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #112244;\"\u003eOwners Manual (.pdf format):\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/drzamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Ghia-manual_full.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e \u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\" style=\"color: #f03d04;\"\u003eMany Configurations and Colors of the Carmen Ghia are Available!
