Don't get us wrong, though... There was plenty of volume here for an 8 watt amp, but you'd have a much better time dealing with sound guys, engineers, or your significant others at home with the Maz 8 that you typically will with an 18 or 38.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With the Maz 8, Dr. Z chose a single ended EL84 circuit for the power section that can be run in two modes via a rear panel switch. Pentode (about 9 or 10 watts) or Triode (about 5 or 6 watts). In Pentode mode, it was a typical Maz 18 type sound, with all the chime and smooth low end we all know and love with plenty of dynamic range for both rock and country. In the Triode mode the output is slightly less than Pentode and the tone gets a little fatter with a more vintage tone and feel.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The footswitchable EQ bypass allowed you to remove the tone stack (Treble, Mid, and Bass) which increased the gain and thickened the sound up a bit.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like the other Maz amps, the Maz 8 had the \"Cut\" knob that was essentially a tone knob for the output section.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The DrZ Maz 8 came standard with an effects loop and the EQ bypass feature.\u003cbr style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e \u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eConstruction: \u003c\/span\u003eAll Tube, All Hand-Wired\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePower Output: \u003c\/span\u003e8 Watts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTube Configuration: \u003c\/span\u003ePower: 1 x EL84 Preamp: 4 x 12AX7, 1 x 12AT7, Rectifier: GZ34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eControls: \u003c\/span\u003eVolume, Treble, Mid, Bass, Cut, Master Volume, and Reverb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/span\u003eFX Loop, Footswitchable EQ Bypass (footswitch included), Tube Reverb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCombo Dimensions: \u003c\/span\u003e19.25\" W x 19.5\" H x 10.5\" D\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCombo Weight: \u003c\/span\u003e42 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCombo Stock Speaker: \u003c\/span\u003e12\" Celestion G12H-30 (others available)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Dr. Z","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":3323081665,"sku":"DRZMAZ8","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4003\/products\/IMG_6763_-_Copy_2.JPG?v=1541219257","url":"https:\/\/www.humbuckermusic.mom\/products\/dr-z-maz-8","provider":"Humbucker Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
