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:
Using the classic setup of a quartet of el84’s biased close to true Class A at 30
watts, the Stang Ray tips its hat to classic British tones, but like all Dr.Z amps,
has its own unique voice. The preamp uses an EF-86, and it has a 12AX7 phase
inverter. Tone shaping is accomplished with Volume, Tone, and Cut controls, giv-
ing you the ability to dial up a warm tone, but with sweet 3k range brilliance for
beautiful upper treble and nice low-midrange control. The output transformer was
designed by Ken Fischer (Trainwreck), who also worked with Dr.Z on the Airbrake.
Front Panel:
Input Jacks: Input 1 (HI) is for normal use. Input 2 (LO) has 3db less gain. Use
with humbucker equipped guitars if you’d like cleaner sounds.
Volume: Controls overall gain. Set over halfway for overdriven sounds. Set be-
low halfway for cleaner sounds.
Tone: Controls full range of EQ for the amp.
Cut: Controls overall tone/presence of amp. Turn clockwise for chime.
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.
