Product Description

dr-z-carmen-ghia-4.jpg

At first glance, the Carmen Ghia looks rather, well, modest. This is why the Ghia leaves so many people floored from the first note. Clean notes come out with a warmth, complexity, and sustain like one has never heard from such a small amp. Every note has a hugeness to it that seems far beyond an 18 watt head. All this comes before the amp really starts to sing. As you turn the Volume clockwise, the fun factor increases. The big clean notes get even BIGGER than they were before. Sustain becomes as smooth and musical as you have ever heard it. Notes seem to sing forever. This is an incredibly fun amp, and you'll have trouble putting your guitar down. The Carmen Ghia interacts with the player because the player can feel the power tube distortion.

This amp has become a favorite in recording studios around the world. It's also a great little amp for small clubs. While many other small amps have trouble cutting through the mix and have a rather flatulent low end, your Dr. Z Carmen Ghia will always cut through the mix tightly and musically.

Gear used:Dr. Z Carmen Ghia 2x12 combo with Alnico Blues: Volume--Dime : Tone:--12:30Custom Strat with Tele neck: Volume and Tone on 10 (in the middle of the video I turned the guitar volume down to 6)Fulltone OCD v. 1: Volume: 12 o'clock--Drive: 1o'clock--Tone: 11 o'clock--LP settingThe amp is cranked up all the way. In the middle of the video I turned my guitar volume half way to show the dynamics of the amp and how it can clean up even when completely cranked. I also throw on the Fulltone OCD pedal towards the end for a good high gain sound. Some Dr. Z owners may think and say, "Wait...I didn't think there was such thing as a 2x12 Carmen Ghia?" The answer is, "True, but untrue." I own the prototype, or the only one that the Doc has made. It's an incredible amp and I'm glad it's mine. Thanks for watching.

  1. Fantastic Dr Z!

    Posted by Chung Mun on 31st May 2011

    This thing is top class, top notch. It oozes luscious tone and the power it has on tap is amazing. 18 watt? Don't be fooled, it is a powerful tone machine. Hear it to believe it!

    My favourite amp!
