"And as you can see, the master volume is a dual gain, post phase inverter, master volume."
LOL, actually, all I can see is really sexy wiring, but I have no idea what it does. Still, this amp is making me look around at my other gear to find what I will be selling to fund the purchase!
i just ordered one , im really excited , thanks dr.z , this video made me feel great in the purchase , its refreshing to see someone take the time to show a product they are proud of .
Hope it brings you years of inspiration
@@DrZAmplification this amp is exactly the sound i was looking for , its amazing , thanks dr.z !
@@kingcatnip2614 glad you found a winner!
Man, I love listening to a master describe his craft. The doctor knows his stuff!
I've had my Nova since they first arrived and I still love it. There's nothing like it and if you're on the fence about getting one, just do it. You'll be glad that you did!
Glad to have you part of the Z family!
Big fan of Z amps and am looking forward to trying out the Nova! Just need to finish my electrical engineering degree first to understand Doc's portion of the video.
I've known of Dr. Z amps for a little while, but just started watching demo videos recently. I've never wanted to/felt like I would allow myself to spend a couple Grand on an amp, but after watching this video, the one on the Z-Master and one on a Maz or two, I'm starting to see it happening. Thanks for creating such beautifully musical sounding amps!!!!
Great to hear! Hope you become part of the family!
I've been waiting a long time for a z amp that personally appeals to me THIS IS IT . Look and sounds amazing can't wait til we get some in AUSTRALIA
This suits daves guitars and style more than any amp I've heard him play through , warm, smooth and able to get edge and dirty
Once again he puts out another amp that I wish I could afford..
Loved the Andretti analogy! Cheers.
Just picked up one these amps today. Solid build!
welcome to the family!
Love this guy...gotta get this amp!
i think this is genius work !
Dr Z - Hope you're doing well. Haven't seen you on here for a while and miss your deep, humble well of Jedi knowledge :)
I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a combo. Likely going to swap out the Celestion in there for a Fane F-70, and see how it sounds....or errrr...hear how it sounds!-
Great job Doc... Thanks
Amazing amp! Hope I can get one!
Please do AMA on EZG-50 and the mod offered for this amp. I have this amp and love it and want to learn more about it!
Yes I agree, that's a super interesting amp
So what's with Mike Baker's Gibsons? All three are missing truss rod covers, and the 335 has an extra (cutoff?) switch on the lower bout.
Damn... where can I buy a Triad output transformer?
@DrZ I noticed you said the power section runs in triode. What is the purpose of the choke mounted on the chassis?
to make the the power supply recovery more efficient and smooth out the b+.
Is fixed bias the same as cathode bias, no adjustment necessary when installing new tubes? Great sounding amp!!!
No sir. You must re-bias after tube changes.
No. It is confusing but "fixed bias amps" have to be "biased" when changing the output tubes. Cathode biased amps, as you say, do not need to be biased when changing output tubes.
Where is the vid ?
Is it possible (without too much surgery) to modify the amp so that the effects loop is footswitchable?
It would involve drilling another hole in chassis to accommodate another footswitch jack.
Any chance of modifying it so you could use the same footswitch jack as the overdrive, and then use a two-button footswitch (i.e., for the overdrive and the loop)?
@@paulblanchet542 It may be possible in theory, using a TRS connector, though the NOVA loop is different than the MAZ and other Dr. Z loops as it is routed differently, so this would involve some R&D.
@@DrZAmplification Sounds good, thanks. Might be worth thinking about for the future. It's such a cool amp, one could potentially plug into the front end directly, then put a reverb and/or delay in the loop. You could simply use a two-button footswitch to switch the OD circuit and the loop, so you'd need nothing else on the floor. At least, that's how I would use it; I don't usually need many effects, just some OD and some ambience. Thanks for the replies!
Notice how sparse the amps look when he shows the inside.
Price point way too high
