High-fidelity EF86 preamp The Z-28 MK II's EF86 preamp delivers a sound unlike more common designs. Plug into this tube combo, and you'll experience a three-dimensional sound that's chock-full of harmonics, with incredible dynamic response and truckloads of percussive power. The Z-28 MK II's clean tones are clear and shimmering, and it makes a superb pedal platform. Whether you use overdrive, distortion, modulation, reverb, or delay, your effects will sound as though they're built right into the amp. Goose the Z-28 MK II's gain past noon, and you'll experience overdrive that's teeming with even-order harmonics — a hallmark of the EF86 design. The guitarists here at Sweetwater have found the Z-28 MK II to have unparalleled string-to-string clarity; it's almost like layering a distorted amp with a clean one. 30 watts of 5881-fueled muscle Thanks to its 30-watt, 5881-loaded power section, you can push the Z-28 MK II much harder than its 6V6-equipped predecessor, whilst maintaining a clean sound. The Z-28 MK II's clean tones exhibit a similar character to classic American-style amplifiers. But when you crank this tube combo amp, you'll drive it into harmonic overload with a sound similar to the British amps of the Invasion era, but without the quirky artifacts inherent in those designs. Also different from the MK I model is the Z-28 MK II's post-phase-inverter master volume. It enables you to achieve a rich, powerful sound at any output level. Loaded with a Celestion Creamback speaker The Z-28 MK II boasts a redesigned chassis and cabinet inspired by Dr. Z's Z-Master. This resonant, lightweight cabinet replaces the Z-Master's 3-hole baffle with a compact, 1 x 12-inch design and a classic-voiced Celestion Creamback speaker. Creambacks are revered for their characteristic British tone, yielding warmth and a distinctive mid-forward growl, with enough low-end grunt and high-end sizzle to make your amp sing. Thanks to this British-flavored speaker, the Z-28 MK II delivers a harmonic-drenched sound that commands attention.
