Dr. Z Nova Head - Black and Oxblood
- DESCRIPTION
The Dr. Z Nova Amp heads a bit into new territory for Dr. Z Amplifiers. It features two channels: One is a clean channel similar to a low powered tweed twin, and the other is an overdriven channel that blends into the clean channel for a balance of string articulation and thick gain.
The Dr. Z Nova utilizes a 5881 based power output section wired triode configuration, and utilizes an original low-powered tweed twin output transformer built by the Triad company: the same company that supplied transformers for the original tweed series over 50 years ago. As the heart of the amp, this authentically reproduced output transformer gives the Nova it’s vintage voice, while the overdrive channel adds a twist of modern gain at the step of a footswitch.
Dr. Z included a specifically tuned post-phase inverter master volume to the Nova allowing it to supply raucous roar or pristine cleans at whisper volumes. The final feature, a buffered effects loop, adds modern practicality and versatility to the revered, vintage tones ready to burst out of this amp.
