Dr. Z MAZ 18 Junior NR 2x12 Tube Combo Amplifier

"Vintage Soul, Club-Ready Power"

A Hand-Wired Tube Combo with Dynamic Touch Response

The Dr. Z MAZ 18 Junior NR 2x12 is a boutique tube combo amp built for expressive players who crave vintage tone with modern clarity. Hand-wired in Cleveland, Ohio, this 18-watt non-reverb model delivers rich harmonic content, dynamic touch sensitivity, and a wide tonal palette—from clean chime to gritty British-style crunch.

Powered by a pair of NOS Russian mil-spec EL84 tubes and voiced through dual custom 12" speakers, the MAZ 18 NR offers articulate highs, tight lows, and a singing midrange that responds beautifully to single coils and humbuckers alike. The intuitive control layout includes Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, Cut, and Master Volume, allowing precise shaping of both preamp and output tube character.

With a buffered effects loop, footswitchable EQ bypass, and multiple speaker outputs, this amp is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in a grab-and-go setup.
