It uses a power stage design that you don't see too often these days.  It's essentially two single-ended 6V6 circuits running parallel to create 15 watts output. This design gives you a bit more clean headroom than you typically see in a Class A amp.  To do this, the Z-Plus \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003euses two 6V6 power tubes running in parallel to each other to amplify the output wattage. This power circuit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eyields a nice, rich clean tone that transitions as the volume is increased into a gritty, harmonic-laden distortion. Single-ended, Class A operation produces full even-order harmonics which are typically cancelled in traditional push-pull, Class A\/B tube amp designs. The result is sparkling and satisfying tone with the full range of 2nd and 4th order harmonics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor those \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003enot needing the full 15 watts, Dr. Z has included a half-power switch that disengages one side of the power section. This allows the amp run using a single 6V6 at 7 watts. With this, you'll get an earlier breakup and a bit more compression. Definitely a little more vintage \"Tweed Champ-ish\" than at full power mode.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSo how did the Z-Plus come about?\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eJoe Walsh recently approached Dr. Z for a new amp to use on the latest Eagles’ tour. He told Z he wanted something remenescent of the recordings he did with the James Gang. Back then, Walsh was using low wattage, single ended Tweeds. Never one to be satisfied with rehashing old designs, Dr. Z and Walsh looked to hi-fi audio amplifiers for inspiration; from this the Z-Plus was born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThe front panel features Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, Master, and the ever versatile Cut control.
