Route 66

Intro:

Thank you for purchasing a Dr Z Amp.  This amplifier was designed to give you 

years of playing and sonic enjoyment.  We are proud to forge ahead and create 

new tube amplifier sounds with a nod to the classics of the past.

Whether you are a touring professional, weekend warrior, or basement jammer; 

we take your sound and need for a reliable amplifier seriously.

Overview:

The Route 66 is a completely original design based around the classic KT-66 

output tube.  The Route 66 is the first ever winner of the Editor’s Pick Award from 

Guitar Player Magazine.  The EF86 front end coupled to the big bottled KT-66 out-

put tubes let’s loose a thick bottom end with a clear singing top.  This amp delivers 

plenty of classic rock and roll crunch as well as sweet blues sustain.  The Route 

66 makes any pedal you plug in sound like it was built into the amp. 

 

  

Front Panel:

Input Jack: 

Plug guitar in here.

Volume:  

Controls overall amp volume.  As you turn the volume up more natural 

drive will occur along with an increase in level.

     

Treble:  

Turning from full counterclockwise to noon you will find the normal type 

of top end adjustment.  From noon to full clockwise the natural gain and dynamics 

of the amp come alive. 

 

Bass:  

The bass control works much the same way as the treble control.  Past 

noon you can really dial in a thick bottom end

.   

Standby: 

 Leave in off position for 1 minute when powering up the amp.  Turn on 

for play.  Place in off position for extended break periods.

Power:  

Turns amp On or Off.
