The Legendary Z Wreck with Master Volume
To many guitarists (including many here at Sweetwater), the original Z Wreck amplifier is the definitive Dr. Z guitar amplifier. And with the Z Wreck Jr. 15-watt tube combo, you get that legendary touch response and sonic range with the convenience of a master volume control. It’s the same post-phase inverter volume circuit found in Dr. Z’s Nova, Jetta, and MAZ amps, acclaimed for its ability to dial down volume without compromising tone and harmonics. This combo is loaded with a 12" Celestion Greenback, the choice speaker of discerning guitarists for decades. And by using the same turret board construction and aircraft-grade aluminum chassis as the original Z Wreck, the Dr. Z Z Wreck Jr. is ready to stand up to a lifetime of gigging and recording.

Undeniably addictive touch response from the original Z Wreck
The original Z Wreck amplifier earned its acclaim with its incredible touch sensitivity and edge-of-overdrive character — it was built for and approved by none other than Brad Paisley, after all. Dr. Z wanted the Z Wreck Jr. combo to offer the same tonal tenacity as the flagship amp, with the convenience of a master volume control. Equipped with a 5Y3 rectifier tube, the Z Wreck Jr. yields the beloved touch sensitivity and “blooming” character found in the original Z Wreck's “Comfort” setting.
