So great that someone like you would answer questions like this. It's demonstrates, not only your knowledge but also your sincerity. Cheap marketing too!
I was crossing my fingers that the Doc would explain ultra-linear and BOOM! he did. Thanks, Dr. Z! Most guitarists associate ultra-linear with the "bad tone" of late 70s silver face Twin Reverbs. Like the Antidote, the earliest Bluesbreakers/JTM45s were also ultra-linear and I don't think anyone considers them to have bad tone, proving the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Beauty!!! I was able to snag this amp used last year and it was Cory Haisch who asked ya about this amp. Hes a Dr Z nut and after playing this amp for a year live, it's by far my fav amp I have ever owned next to my 65 Fender Deluxe. I'm now a Dr Z nut and fan!!
Tech question: is the Vintage/Modern switch switching the cathode resistor of one of the preamp stages between the more vintage Fender-like 1kOhm/25uF and a later JMP-like 2.7kOhm/0.68uF cathode bias setup? If so, which stage does it go to? ;) Thanks, guys!
I love this amp but already have a Route 66 and a Remedy. your take on these classic designs not only makes them more useable, but to my ears (I have a 1966, tube rectified Marshall Plexi, with El-34s) they sound punchier and more lively. I love my Plexi. Had it forever, but it is in NO WAY any better than either of my Z amps. It just isn’t. It’s as good, maybe.

My Antidote still freaks me out to this day how good it sounds.....Stunning !!

Mike, I did the same kinda boost on my beater franken parts Super
Hey Doc! I'd love to hear about the Remedy, this year I'll be getting one for sure!
brilliant amp Sr
Beautifully wired amp!
Thanks
ANTIDOTE! "Just be sure to wear yer big boy pants!" LOL... love you, Doc!
I like the concept of a lightly filtered amplifier. But how do you get to that point without increasing ripple?

.... I'm gonna end up getting one of your amps.... my bank account just has to be ready to deal with it first. lmao
Wonder if the kt88 tubes produce more midrange than el84's 🤔
ZEE A DEE GIMME!

So, Doc, that begs the question:
