Based on the modern day classic Maz 18 platform, the Maz 8 is set to become the new standard in single
ended class A amps. If you are tired of thinking of ways to win the volume wars with sound guys, club
owners, and recording engineers the Maz 8 is the solution. The Maz 8 is a full featured 8 watt amp that will
give you an incredible range of shimmering cleans to full on rock action at reasonable volume levels.
The Maz 8 gives you the true class A experience. The single 6n14n (EL84) output section can be run in
Pentode or Triode mode. In Pentode mode you get the sonic signature of the Maz 18. The chimey top end
and sweet low end bloom are all there, but at a significantly lower volume. The pentode setting gives you
plenty of dynamic range for clean country picking to grinding riff rock bliss. You can even take it a step
beyond with the footswitchable EQ bypass function. This gives you a great gain boost for effortless leads that
will sustain for days. The Maz 8 takes on a much different tone dialect in triode mode with more of a vintage
feel and sound. In triode, the volume level drops back and the tone fattens up making you think you plugged
into a lost gem from the 1950s. Kicking on the EQ bypass in triode mode will have you reaching for your slide
in no time.
The front panel features Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, Reverb, Master, and the ever versatile cut control.
Think of the cut control as a tone knob for the output section. The back panel features a 4, 8, and 16 ohm
speaker out. An effects loop and EQ bypass are standard. The back panel also has the pentode/triode switch.
The Maz 8 is available as a head, 2×10, and 1×12 combo. The 1×12 comes standard with a Celestion H30
speaker. You get a choice of our new smaller 1×12 Studio combo cab or the standard size 1×12. The 1×12
Studio cab makes for a great grab and go amp.
