It's at about 10-11 o'clock. Want a nice, sustaining tone for leads? It's at high-noon. Want ZZ-Top? It's at about 2-3 o'clock. Want over the top saturation? Crank it all the way up. The amp gets both louder AND more distorted as you turn it up, so it's quite a ride. Most will find a happy setting between 12 and 2 o'clock and control the volume and tone with their guitar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecs\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePower Output:\u003c\/b\u003e 5 Watts\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eOutput Tubes:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 x EL84\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePreamp Tubes:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 x 12AX7M\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eControls: \u003c\/b\u003eVolume, Built-In Attenuator\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e    17.5\" W  x  17\" H  x 10\" D   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHead Weight: \u003c\/b\u003e          18 lbs\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCombo Speaker:\u003c\/b\u003e 1x10 Legend Alnico  (Optional Red Fang Alnico - $139)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCombo Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e  17.5\" W  x  17\" H  x 10\" D   \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCombo Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e         32 lbs\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConfigurations and Colors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e   The Dr Z Mini Z Amp is available in Black, Blonde, Red, and Limited Surf Green.  It's also available in both head and combo form, and we stock them all.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Dr. Z","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":3323476033,"sku":"DZMINIZHDSFG","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4003\/products\/IMG_0254_9321d1fd-cd7b-438d-b20e-f38f00dc7f15.JPG?v=1503507158","url":"https:\/\/www.humbuckermusic.mom\/products\/drzmiheinlis","provider":"Humbucker Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
