100 watts of pure, in-your-face guitar tone in a modern, midi controllable, 3 channel amp. Dedicated to Modern sounds, from crystal clear Clean, through a classic punchy Crunch, to High Gain Nirvana. Finally the best of the MZero and the Z Series in a single amp that offers the full range of the incredible tones available from Mezzabarba
Three Versatile Channels
Channel 1
This channel is all about tonal definition and is a perfect balance between our Z Series and the MZero. It produces a transparent, authentic clean tone that is both warm and brilliant at the same time and with harmonic overtones to die for. With the boost engaged you can go for American/British classy crunch, with tons of dynamic and punch.
Channel 2
What stands out the most is the explosive dynamics this channel offers. This channel can range from a “bitey” mild distortion to that sought after vintage, harmonic rich crunch a là AC/DC that is so hard to find anymore, until a brutal hot-rodded tone you can have with the boost engaged.
Channel 3
Hot, defined and ballsy is the only way to describe it. Fluid, saturated distortions that are dripping in harmonics. From a perfect crunch to a searing lead tone, this channel features a boost switch for two different voicings, one for Rhythm definition, one for smoothest and fullest Solo Parts. The 3rd channel will take you to distortion bliss.

4 Yrs later I still listen and watch. I LOVE this so much.
Never stops to amaze me with his tone and chops. One of the most underrated guitarists on this planet.
What has he done to be highly rated?
There’s NOTHIN underrated about Doug bro 🔥
Best demo ever for Seymour Duncan Jimi Hendrix pick Ups 🤘
Yeah ima just sit here and watch this like 100 times
So I'm not the only one who has watched this dozens of dozens of times...! Great demo, and super playing... Doug is tops!
The fact that DR has only 9K subscribers is the biggest mystery on you tube!!
Yeah amazes me too.. probably because he's out making music more than you tubing? Definitely a big opportunity to go huge on here if it's what he'd like to do eh?
Steve Roberts Thanks guys, i really appreciate it! i’m totally open to suggestions for increasing subscribers....! what would you guys like to see??
@@DougErapps Anything with you playing just jamming, gear demos, lessons. Maybe make some vids giving us updates on any material you might be working on, upcoming shows etc.
On a personal note I'm a fellow EVH fanatic so anything with you shredding VH licks or in his style always a plus haha. You do it all well!
Justin Gibson right on! Thanks, brother!
@@DougErapps Hey Doug, lessons are a great idea, also see if u can collaborate with Pete Thorn or Tim Pierce or Phil x or other top quality muso people that you know th rough interviews and jam style lessons? It won't take long for you to win over subscribers from their channels. If you are in the UK then Andertons or That Pedal show have really great stuff and they have hugely boosted Joey Landreth and Ariel Posen and other next level talents like you man. Love your style and sound... Just picked up DR Kenai #100...awesome... really love it. Cheers
First time seeing this. This is amazing. Love Doug's playing. Amp sounds awesome.
Doug, You really need to be out there more!! Solo albums galore!! Such great note choice, not many guys around that can play like this. Highly creative! Cheers..
The music you write for your demo's easily outclasses most of the material being released by current bands. You have a knack for using the music to highlight the best qualities of the gear you're demoing. But on top of that, you make music that makes me want to hear more - you're a legend Doug!
You’re very kind... thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.......!
Yowsa! I've probably watched & LISTENED to this 40+ times... never gets old. Doug is a premier rock guitarist, and this is a multi-layered song that just happens to demonstrate a fantastic sounding 3 channel amp. Awesome Doug! Keep the inspired playing coming to us on da 'Tube!
So Good !!!!!!!!
Thank you Mr. Rappoport .
Your songs are fantastic.
Doug...you my friend are, in my honest opinion, the best and most well rounded guitarist I have ever heard. Lots of other flashy, one-trick pony players always seem to come and go. But your style, musicality, skill, versatility, tone and touch are unsurpassed by anyone I have heard...past or present (and I've played a long time). Kudos to you, and keep doing what you do Bro!
Doug's back - and we are all blessed. Awesome as ever :-)
yes he and Pete Thorn are great
One of the best guitarists today playing possibly the best amp in the world - what more could you ask for.
Came looking for Mezzabarba reviews, stayed for the music. I haven't seen a single video of you where you're not absolutely killing it. Vows and reverences, man, whatever it is that great guitarists have, you have it.
What a killer tone from this amazing Mezzabarba Trinity! Doug sounds killer as always, Beautiful song with such tasty solos! Thanks for sharing this video
Giant Dog
Doug is the most amazing player you'll ever hear. His ability to be so articulate in every genre of playing is jaw dropping. Played with the late great Dimebag R.I.P and Jerry Cantrell to name a few but YES Doug needs more global recognition, the tricks he taught this Old Dog has delivered the best playing and recording of my life.....TOP INFLUENCE!! Keep it up Doug!!
The best Amp I ever had... And Doug.... you are simply great. What a sound...
Any video by DR is always worth watching, and again, and again... What a superb player!
"Simply" Doug Rappoport... What a great Musician!!! I like!!!
Some of the best music I've heard.......ever! A amazing guitarist!
hell yea! saw this when i was at work, couldn't wait to get home to listen to it, didn't disappoint either !
Dougyou are AMAZING !!!!
Cheers from Chile
..great sound......your playing is also phenomenal.....love it.....
I cannot stop listening to this tune, absolutely awesome!!
New DR video! One of my fav guitarists.
Fkn amazing playing right there!!! Wow....
You are so musical brother!! Love love & Respect
Oooh - the SG makes a brief cameo appearance! Great playing as usual.
Woah!! Marvellous tone and playing!
Wow! This sounds great. This amp has some epic buttery tone.. Great playing as always Doug!
Fantastic! Reminded me of King's X, mate! Excellent stuff!
That clean sound from the Friedman Strat is K I L L E R ! ! ! Awesome man!
Those melodic lines at 1:50 - 2:30 are the best playing, ive heard in years!!!
This is becoming one of my favorite songs.
4:15 obsessed! :) epic playing!
When you can just sit back and enjoy listening without looking at the screen then it's mission accomplished
Doug, you need to record an album and put this in there!!! Amazing playing and melodic composition!
Holy hell!!! Doug E Rapps never ceases to amaze me. Full, fat ass tone...chops for days...and plenty of the feels. Damn, why is THIS guy not more popular??? It's a crying shame. So good!!!!
Wowzer, Mezzabarba + Friedman + KSR = pure bliss!
Always tasty chops and melody choices make your channel one of those rare treasures - I have your visit to the Bogner amp room (Helios/Atma) on constant rotation.
Thanks Doug!
My theory regarding the subscriber count is that there are relatively few videos compared to the guys who crank them out every week for years and years. There are a LOT LOT LOT of guitarists on TH-cam and you have to have something that sets you apart to drive up the numbers - something everybody will relate to. For those who truly appreciate how talented Doug really is, it's a no-brainer to subscribe but then SO many people just don't understand the immeasurable talent that's really being showcased here. Such an amazingly wide array of styles and sounds; all are played with so much feeling and skill. But really very few tune into the finer aspects of things. They prefer the comic routines of Jared Dines or Stevie T. :(
Doug is RIppin it up again with killer licks and tasty tricks ! 👍👍👍
Amazing playing, as usual.
Doug you really have found your tone (regardless of the gear you're using) and style, congrats!
Ah yes the bridge on this is so amazing open and HUGE what a track amazing gear and you!!
The dude is truly on anther level on the guitar!!!
You are always Amazing!! All the best Doug!..Ps: i hope to see in Italy!!
Beautiful composition Doug! You are my favorite!
Great!
Man Doug, I absolutely love your arrangement specifically when showcasing the clean sounds and then heading towards the crescendo at the end.
The vast range of tonality from these guitars with this amp is very engaging. Your phrasing of notes and the space between the notes within your lead passages is handled with such expressive command and fortitude as you maneuver your way through the climb. I really get a sense that you're offering the depth of inner thoughts that can only be spoken in a language beyond words.
After hearing your incredible interview earlier this week while commuting to work, and then having some time this morning to intently focus on the articulation of your guitar playing in your channel here on youtube, I can only thank you for watering us indirectly while forging your way.
Absolutely stellar, because you see a bigger picture and the details within the construct and it shines in your guitar lines, as well as some of the knowledge you were willing to share in the interview I heard. What I love the most about your playing is the warrior spirit that comes through, but underneath there's a sense that it is written from the tablet of your heart.
Oh wait a minute, this is an amp review right? Mezzabarba should be astounded that you have showcased their new flagship amp here. It sounds amazing. They strike me as the Lamborghinis of the guitar world. The aesthetic is engineered with the same attention as the tonality.
Great review! I hope to see you play live someday. Keep up the great work of being authentic.
BJ Hale Thank you!!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼..........
whoo sounds killer doug! get more music out from you, please. sound, style, phrasing all on top. 🎸🏆
dude i just love your complex arrangement and time you put in to be DIFFERENT and good!
birdman bl Awwwww, man.. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Every time I watch one of your video's!, Your playing is amazing! so rhythmic!, Even the faster runs have rhythm, which alot of player's don't understand or can not do!, Amazing playing Doug!...
One of my favorite guitarist, Thx Doug!
Amazing in every way!!!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
killing song! and great tone as usual!!
You are a really exceptional player. You inspire me to become better at guitar :)
In "Doug" we trust! Rock-on and keep bringing that heat!!
I want to see your version of "frankenstien" ....I've seen a live one, but it would be cool to see it up close and guitar centered...one of my faves to play...
Kudos Doug. You are one of the greatest guitarists on the planet. I love your playing. Its The Holy grail of musicality. I heard your demo with the Mzero Overdrive, although you sound AMAZING on anything. I did prefer the Mzer OD tone. Sounded fuller to My ears. I bought one and couldn't be happier. An organic/raw and brural BEAST🤘🤘💪
Thanks for your great music. You are ALWAYS an inspiration. Kudos D.R.
Second to none.. 💪💪🤘
Enrico!! Thank you so much, bro….🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼……
@@DougErapps thank you for your music🙏🙏🙏
just got one of these amps! Great playing Doug!
Awesome playing Bro 🤘🔥🤘
Incredibly versatile amp. Can’t believe how good the clean sounds are! Of course the dirty channel will sound great if you are demoing it....
The amazing Dougy Rapps!
Sounds amazing, great playing Doug 👌👌👌👌
Yeah bro! It's YOU my brotha! On anything it's you always killing it.
This is my bucket list amp.
Just fantastic playing and tones!!
Nice Doug
Seeing you play through #MezzabarbaExcellence. Now get sea sick steve to play through one
Doug!You'll sound good even if you were playing a shovel!!! You'r the pirate Doug!Thank you for your music!
THAT music is fucking amazing, gave me chills and tears all at once..... OMG!
Wow
Very versatile
#MezzaBarbaITALY
#Trinity
Super ampli, grandissimo chitarrista
Absolutely stunning masterpiece!Well done Doug!
Incredible.
Geeezusss Dr Doug thats so nice, in the zone dude.........
Why do all these amps you demo have such beautiful versatile soulful tones? 🙌
Tone is in the fingers.
Duly noted. But I think it’s more than just that with this fella. There is a rumor going around that he boils his strings in an ancient South African voodoo sauce. Whatever the case his playing is the cats pajamas 🙌
Great sounds, and I don't mind the King's X-ish vibe, either. :D
Nice 59r Doug. 🎸👍 your longest fan 😉. Keep those demos coming. I was waiting for these 2 guitars. 👍😉As much as I love gain, the cleans sounded fantastic on the strat. I was hoping u would play it that way. And the amp sounds great and of course your playing that goes without saying.
Sounds AMAZING!!!!
Outstanding..
Awesome, Doug! Love the Les Paul!
I am sure you are a busy man, Doug - but some "Doug's quick guitar secrets tips" videos would be awesome... - another amazing Demo with great playing (your melodic note choice is great)... - the tones are "oozing" out of the speakers here... :-D - the great Time Pierce referred to you as "particular ferocious" .. - he couldn't have said it any better... :-D - the Mezzabarba sounds awesome; wonder what you'd be playing through a Diezel Paul or Diezel Big Max...
Wow, playing was outstanding in this one!
Mezzabarba For President !!! Love You All !!!!! :)
Very fine amp!
I've been watch every video of you Doug.. love your playing dude 🔥🤘
Great tone, blazing chops,
Love the intervals!
Great deep tone really supports a six string in d.
Playing is amazing!!!!
beautiful lester too...
Hey Doug what are those cream pups!?? 78? Love every single video you post man! If youre looking to be inspired come see Doug Rappoport!! Makes me wanna grab my guitar play nasty licks instantly!!
Miguel Gutierrez Awwww thanks man!!! 🙏🏼. the cream PUs are SD PAF Antiquities. i’ve been playing with unpotted PAF PUs lately. my gold top Knaggs has unpotted Seth Lover PUs. they’re great!!!
@@DougErapps Thanks Doug!! Love it!
Great playing and tones Doug
Best tone on the net!
Awesome man!🤘🎸🔊🎶
👍👍. Just, WOW Doug
These videos are always just amazing man, you're the best teacher I ever had. After I finish engineering school I'm definitely gonna pick up some better quality equipment. I've always wondered how you do the drums in these? Do you just program them, or is it recorded?
Hi Alex! Thanks very much!! I use Superior Drummer 2. I program all the drum tracks from scratch.
Impresionante!!!
The Rappopopopower is back!
My god man!! Where have I been. I don't know this brand. I was about to buy a jj jr. Now i don't know. Plus you are a bad ass!!
