ZT Amplifiers The Club Is A Beefed Up Lunchbox, If You Dig (Video)

The guitar community has already been buzzing hard about The Lunchbox, a 200-watt, solid state amp, 1x6.5 combo amp that sounds like a -- I don't know, a backline of Plexi stacks or something. Those seeking a little more from this tiny wonder, however, will be excited to see the unveiling of the ZT Amplifiers The Club.

The Club takes the same basic premise of the Lunchbox, but drives a 12" speaker instead of a 6.5". This more traditional component is sure to add to the Lunchbox's already impressive low-end, and might attract players who were hesitant to commit to a 6.5" speaker. Another excellent addition that guitarists asked for: an effects loop. It also expands the control section with separate treble and bass controls. To top things off, The Club sports a plate-style reverb.

Full features are as follows:


EFX Loop
Plate Style Reverb
Variable Headphone/DI Output
Custom Ultra-High Performance 12" Speaker, Switchable
External Speaker Output (8 ohms min.)
Aux Input on 1/8" Stereo Jack
Voltage switch 115V/230V
200W Class A/B Power Amplifier
Ultra-low latency circuit for player responsiveness
Pure analog front-end, with diode overdrive capability
Proprietary dynamic tone shaping
Vintage modeled tone stack
Class A/B output stage with unregulated linear supply
Sealed-box speaker tuning

As you can see in this video from Winter NAMM 2010, the ZT Amps The Club is still amazingly compact, and with a street price of less than $500, it'll fit compact budgets as well.

A.) Dillenger Escape Plan absolutely tunes their guitars. And no this amp is better suited for blues, clean, and Jazz. For that type of metal sound I recommend something like a Bugera 333XL, or 1990. Also there are any number of solid states you could try like the Dime Blacktooth amp from Dean.

I'm sorry, this is probably a stupid question. I am starting to play with friends in a metal band. We are not super serious, but we like stuff like Dillinger Escape Plan and other metal bands that don't tune down their guitars.

I don't know much about gear: Would this amp be suitable for something like that?

Thank you for your time.
