ZT Club 1x12 combo w/Boss DD20 and TC Electronics Nova Drive

This is a demo of the ZT Club 1x12 combo amp the newest amp to come from the ZT Factory as their next line of amps following the ever so loud yet small ZT Lunch Box... Please excuse the audio peaks being that this video was captured using my Palm Pre phone. Pedals used are the Boss DD20 with a TC Electronics Nova Drive and the guitar is a Fender American Series Telecaster with Texas Specials. Music is being played by my great friend Vince Yang.

@Maxx61 How is the deep bass response on the Club ? ......does it have the bass response of a larger cabinet

like a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe ?

[Bflatest]

how is this hooked up anyway

[Bflatest]

I do like these amps BUT I why would I buy this for 500 when I can buy a used 112 Mesa Boogie for about the same???

[powdereddonut]

could this be a pretty good metal amp? how loud does this thing get also, and does the volume increase fuck the tone up?

[Maxx61]

Just wanted to update my thoughts on this after scoring a used one (mint condition) for $225. It is absolutely fantastic serving the role as a pedal platform. On it's own, great for jazz and country but literally void of any kind of gain despite a knob which says "gain." However, slam this with a great distortion pedal and whoa.....this little 1x12 will knock your teeth out. I'm glad I found a used one for such a great price because I would have missed out on it at its normal street price.

@fishqwer Great amp for sure, as are the Pritchard solid state amps. However, I think both would be considered "boutique" for solid state and are priced accordingly. This amp's price point is my major contention with it. I suspect it will be adjusted eventually by the big box retailers who carry them. For $350, I think it's competitive.

@Maxx61 My go to amp is the Henricksen 112 (SS, 1 channel, 5 band EQ, reverb) which is really as simple as it gets and I payed $899 for it! It is the best amp I've ever played with and i get comments about my tone every single time I play on it.

[Maxx61]

@fishqwer I certainly can understand that but my comment was essentially aimed at the price of the amp. You get wonderful solid state sounds from a host of amps equally sized as the Club for significantly less scratch. I believe they missed the boat on the pricing. Does it perform twice as good as it's little brother, the Lunchbox? From what I've been reading, not even close. I suspect you'll start to see these discounted this fall. Five bills is too much for a bare bones SS 1x12

[fishqwer]

@Maxx61 Sometimes people (me for one) prefer SS to tube for certain situations

@joeylovetx I cant see why anyone would chose this over a cube 80x or a flextone 3 and tube maintainance is next to nothing these days.
