Dr. Z Route 66 (mini-review)
Jack A. Zucker
I just wanted to post a review of an amp I got to try out today. Though I
live about 20 miles from Dr. Z's workshop, I've only been there a few times
and have not visited it for a couple years. He recently emailed me and
invited me to come out and try a new amp that he's just started
manufacturing.
It's called the Route 66. It has the following features:
- 2 Groove Tubes KT-66 output tubes running in ultra-linear tetrode A/B
- EF86 preamp stage
- 12AX7 Phase inverter
- GZ34 Rectifier tube
- Vol, Treble, Bass, input
- 4, 8, 16 ohm output
- 32 (VERY LOUD) watts
- All hand wired with custom made transformers
- Price: somewhere in the $1100-$1200 range
This is really a sweet amp. It's a different amp than anything else I've
heard of his. I've played quite a few of his amps (and I used to own a
Prescription) and I have to say that this amp is probably his best overall
amp. It's not a high-gain affair but it's got a very warm and rich tone
throughout the volume range. Rather than gain coming on quickly like a
Marshall amp, this amp very smoothly and subtly goes into overdrive making
it perfectly suited for blues or blues/rock. Jazz players may also dig it's
dark smoky clean tones as well.
With the volume on about 3 and the tone controls about 1/2 way up, the amp
is very smooth and responsive. With humbuckers, a slight Claptonish edge can
be heard with the volume controls on the guitar up all the way and backing
them off yields beautiful clean tones. Kicking on a pedal such as the TS-9
yields beautiful violin-like tones from the humbucks and SRV-like tones from
single coils. Cool, indeed. Apparently, unlike the 12AX7 preamp tube, the
EF86 can handle higher gain loads (i.e. from active pickups or pedals),
without compressing out. Turning up the gain increased the distortion and at
higher settings, very cool vintage tones emanated from the amp. Classic Les
Paul and Strat sounds can be achieved at ease.
Turning the tone controls flat out yields increased gain and if I understood
Dr Z's explanation correctly, it effectively eliminates them from the
circuit, causing the amp's preamp section to sizzle a bit more.
Overall, I liked this amp quite a bit and I felt that it sounded a helluva
lot better than the Matchless DC-30 which it has some similarities to. It's
also about 1/3rd the price of the Matchless.

I didn't say it resembled the Matchless DC-30 in tone. I said the DC-30 and
it have some similarities - Mainly in that they are both low wattage dual
EL-34 (in the Matchless case), KT-66 (in the Route 66 case) amps. The Dr Z
is a simpler design with it's single channel front end but that probably
accounts for it's groovy vibe.
One other thing I forgot to mention about the Route 66 is that you can drop
in KT-66, EL-34, 6CA7, 6L6, or 5881 tubes which is pretty cool!

Jaz....please don't take this the wrong way. But of you think the Matchless

You see, the Matchless CHIEFTAN has the EL34s. And I don't particularly like
the way it sounds. TOTALLY different animal. And about as sonically remote
from the sound of their C-30 chassis (SC30, DC30, HC30) as you can get.
The C-30 is the quintessential Class A EL-84 configuration. Like a Vox Top
Boost. Hell. five seconds of listening to it ought to tell you that; you don't
even have to look inside if you have ears....the Vox-like "chime" is readily
apparent. Let me put it another way......tone-wise, you're talking about the
difference between a Marshall power stage and a Vox power stage. Pretty damn
obvious to most people when they hear it
I know you have expressed opinions on several amps here, and on surface
reading, they seem knowledgeable and well thought-out. But now I have to
wonder.

I'm not taking it the wrong way. I simply was confused on the model names of
the Matchless amps since (apparently unlike SEFSTRAT), I don't have their
entire line committed to memory. Additionally, if you re-read my verbage, I
never said the Dr Z sounded like the Matchless, only that it was similar in
configuration so obviously the model names are relevent. Whether the name is
Chieftan, DC-30, or whatever doesn't really matter to me.

As SEFSTRAT so politely reminded me, I obviously don't have the entire
Matchless model naming scheme committed to memory. Sorry, I guess I've been
too busy practicing. At any rate, apparently the amp I mistakenly called a
DC-30 was a Chieftain. At any rate, the Z sounds better to my ears. However,
I really like the way the Matchless EL84 amps sound and comparing a KT-66
amp to any EL84 amp would not be an apples to apples comparison. The Route
66 has much more bottom end, much more headroom, and better note seperation
(probably due to the headroom).
For an all around amp, the KT-66 would work better for me but if you're
playing "Proud Mary" in a wedding band you might feel differently. For that
matter, probably a red knob twin would suit you better in that case...

Well Mark, Jaz is a great reviewer, but he is one of the most serious
AAS/GAS sufferers ever known to the world -- a fact I am sure he will
be glad to confirm. :) Maybe the Rt 66 thing is great, but so has been
just about everything else Jaz reviewed and eventually bought in the
past; but, inevitably, a few months later and the shortcomings began
to come out and the equipment gets sold. So, Jaz puts out some good
information, and it is great to have someone who tries the stuff and is
willing to write about his experience, but be sure to put it in its proper
perspective. I cant believe how the Internet influences so many people to go
out and buy shit because others have written good things about them; I know
from experience becasue I do sell a product that people buy because it has
great reviews. Be wise, put what you write here in proper perspective.
Regarding Jaz and Sefstrat going at each other, so fucking stupidly, I am
really not surprised. Seems like a lot of people feel compelled to justify
their purchases, like a top of the line Matchless. If you bought it, and you
dig it, fine, screw those who envy you because they dont have $3,500 (or
whatever the amount) to blow on an amp (without having to remember they
did) they will use to play a wedding. Patters like this only lead to people
getting a reputation of being difficult, then they get flamed, then they
leave the group because they say they are not allowed to talk without
everybody throwing rocks at them. When they come back, you see them headed
in the very same direction... proof that man is the only animal who cant see
past himself. I know, I am one of those animals too.

The Jaz/Dr.Z vs Sefstrat/Matchless argument is at least
three years old!!
As far as Jaz's reviewing capabilities, I think they are amply
illustrated in the following old post:

Dr. Z Rx Review
I recently borrowed a Dr. Z Prescription guitar amp. After a week of
playing it, I decided to write a review of it in order to share the
information with other network folks.
Description:
The amp has 3 12AX-7 preamp tubes, 4 EL-84 power tubes running in
class-A with no negative feedback, and a GZ-34 rectifier tube. As stock,
my evaluation unit had 2 NOS Phillips 12AX7s in the first gain stage and
phase inverter, and a Sovtek 12AX7 powering the 2nd and 3rd gain stages.
Rectification was handled by a Groove Tubes "Reactive" solid state
rectifier but may also be ordered with a GZ-34 rectifier tube. The power
stage is handled by 4 Tesla EL-84 tubes which put out about 45 watts.
The controls on the front of the unit from left to right consist of:
Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume, Expand Switch, high input, low input. The
expand switch bridges a capacitor across the first gain stage cathode
resistor for an extra thick tone. There is no reverb or effects loop.
Dr. Z was going for a design with an emphasis on tone and felt that
reverb or an effects loop would compromise the tone and integrity of the
signal path.
The controls on the back of the unit consist of 3 jacks for 4,8 or 16
ohms.
The head-cabinet is a very small, sexy enclosure measuring 9.5" tall,
19.5" wide and 9.5" deep. I really like this design and it seems
equally at home on top of a 1x12 as well as a 4x12 cabinet. Very groovy.
Design:
The Dr. Z Prescription is a brand new design. Dr. Z does not make retro
or copy amps and this amp is no exception. While it certainly borrows
concepts from classic Western Electric circuit designs, you won’t find
its schematic in the Tube Amp Book. The amp employs a fairly novel
conjunctive filter circuit before the output stage which seems to really
juice the amp up and give it a very original tone.
The amp is built almost entirely of parts designed by Dr. Z himself. Dr.
Z has his own special formulation (Sprague) capacitors which are not
available commercially. They are designed to react in a similar way as
the old "Black-Cat" capacitors which were used in many classic early
60’s amps. Transformers are manufactured to his specifications as well.
The output transformer in the prescription is huge. It has 11
interleaves, paper bobbins, etc. Though the amp puts out about 45 watts,
the output transformer looks like something you’d see in a 100 watt amp.
(For those of you doubting the output rating, I compared it to my 50
watt Plexi Marshall which is really loud and the Z amp kept up with it
pretty well.
Resistors are NOS Allen Bradley carbon composition. Pots are CTS, jacks
are SwitchCraft. Wire used throughout is 600V, solid core. The
components are hand wired on custom made glass boards using turret
posts. Turret posts make better electrical connections, are more
reliable, and less prone to cold solder joints than eyelet boards. The
tubes, while not designed by Dr. Z, are hand selected and matched in
order to make the amp as quiet as possible with the best tone possible.
Dr. Z is extremely committed to doing that and I’ve seen him
painstakingly going through phase inverter tubes and measuring the
voltage of each triode until he finds a tube which is a match. (A 12AX-7
consists of 2 triodes in one glass bottle).
The actual mechanical structure is simply wonderful. The chassis is
solid aluminum with a special plating. This material increases the
conductivity to that of solid copper, yet retains the strength of
aluminum. This is an important factor in reducing hum and maximizing
tone. All wire runs are as short as possible and bent to right angles.
Dr. Z is very meticulous about wire routing and I noticed that extreme
care was taken to keep AC voltage wires away from signal grid wires.
There are no loose wires or silicone goo holding parts together.
Whenever possible, wires are twisted together and/or wire wrapped with
cable ties. No parts are hanging in the air either. Soldering is very
carefully done as no wires showed signs of insulation burning, and all
solder joints looked very solid, with just the right amount of solder
applied. This amp is built for the long haul.
Sound
First of all, let me say that the amp sounds amazing. It’s dripping with
tone. From the very first note, you can hear and feel it.. The amp’s
tonal range encompasses many facets. The first thing I noticed was that
the amp sounds radically different depending on what range the volume
control is set to. The volume control seems to be calibrated into 3
distinct areas: Clean-Sheen, Bluesy/Stingy/Crunch, and High-Gain
Clean-Sheen
Beautifully clean and chimey. The tone was bell-like and glassy with a
piano-like clarity on the low notes. Note separation was very good.
Playing complex jazz chords with ½ step voicings, I was able to clearly
discern each individual voice of the chord. Playing riffs across the
guitar from low strings to high strings demonstrates the evenness of the
amps tone across a wide frequency range. I was able to get a really full
bodied jazz tone as well as a really sweet maple neck Strat tone.
Bluesy/Stingy/Crunch
Using a Strat and with the volume about 1/3 the way up, I could get a
really great Stevie Ray Vaughan tone. At this volume level, overdrive
and compression are controlled by the guitar’s volume control. With the
guitar’s volume partially down, I was able to get that really sweet,
clean, wispy Strat tone that I’ve been looking for forever, and with the
guitar’s volume pegged, the amp is just starting to distort. If you’ve
heard SRV’s Texas Flood CD, you know the tone I’m talking about.
Switching to a 335 brought out another completely different personality
in the amp. With the guitar’s volume down and gradually increasing the
amp’s volume, the sound went from slight compression, to crunch, to a
really bluesy/stingy/cutting tone. Turning the guitar full up yielded a
very rich, bluesy, distorted tone. Not the least bit buzzy or unnatural.
Playing on the treble pickup yielded a really rich, smooth overdrive,
not unlike Eric Clapton’s live Crossroads tone.
High-Gain
Turning the amp up past halfway increased the gain and harmonics
considerably. Here, the amp started to take on the character of the Eric
Johnson violin tone. With my buddies Les Paul and Pearly Gates pickups,
the amp yielded a very fine early ZZ-Top tone. I was able to get
harmonic feedback, squeals and squawks on just about every note and the
incredible touch sensitivity was astounding. The only other time I’ve
had a ride on such a wild beast was playing a fully cranked 100 watt
Plexi-Marshall through two 4x12 cabinets!
Tone Controls
The tone controls on this amp are wonderful. They are specially tuned to
enhance the bass, mid, and treble bands that most effect the guitar’s
tone. When the controls are at the 12 O’clock position, the amp sounds
very natural. The effect is not unlike having a detent position and
being able to add or subtract from the zero point. Sweeping the tone
controls up or down yielded clearly audible, yet musical results. This
was very pleasing to me since so many amps today suffer from tone
controls which either do nothing, or are so severe that the majority of
their range is unusable. Again, this is not the case with the
Prescription. In fact, I could not find a combination of tone settings
that was not extremely musical.
And More…
At this point, you’re probably wondering if this amp suffers from
multiple personality disorders. I’m here to tell you that Sybil has
nothing on this amp. Read on…
A few days ago, I picked up a blues CD which had some really nice tweed
guitar sounds on it. It was a recent recording but done in the style of
the old Howling Wolf or Muddy Waters sessions. I really loved the guitar
sounds and it inspired me to try to get those sounds out of the
Prescription just for kicks. I decided to change the preamp and
rectifier tubes to see if I could get more of a brown/tweed sound out of
it.
I replaced the first preamp tube in the Prescription with a GE 12AY-7.
(This is the tube the ’59 bassman had in this position). I replaced the
phase inverter tube with a GE 5751 which is a lower gain than a 12AX-7
but higher than an 12AT-7. The last thing I did was to substitute a
Sovtek 5U4 rectifier tube. Because of it’s higher internal resistance,
the Sovtek tube lowers the plate voltages on the EL-84s as well as gives
the amp more sag. Additionally, having seen many tweed amp circuits, I
decided to leave the "enhance" switch in the off position since many
tweed amps employed no bypass cap for the cathode of the first preamp
tube.
Voila ! Instant tweed. I could not believe the difference. With my
Strat, the amp sounded incredibly like the tones I heard on the blues
CD. With the amp on 4 and the volume turned down on the guitar, the tone
was full bodied and clear with lots of sustain, and with the guitar full
up, the amp just ripped. It sounded very woody and reminded me of many
tweed amps I had played and heard on records.
I plugged my 335 in played a few notes and once again my jaw dropped.
With these tubes and the amp up about ½ way, the amp sounded almost
exactly like Eric Clapton’s tone on the John Mayall Bluesbreaker
recordings. It was fatter, darker, less distorted, and less harmonically
rich, but it had the touch, tone, and feel of the record. Twisting the
treble control, I found that I could make the amp transition from ’59
Bassman to ’64 JTM-45. I’ve played through several original ’59
bassman’s as well as original JTM-45s and I would have to say that this
amp holds its own with any of them. I suggested to Dr. Z that he make
available a "Tweed Upgrade Kit" consisting of the 12AY-7, 5751, and 5U4
rectifier tube. This seems like a simple way to add a whole plethora of
sounds to the amps palette.
Closing
In closing, I would have to say that this amp produces the widest array
of tones I’ve ever experienced from a single amp. It’s possible to go
from 50’s tweed, to 60’s plexi, to 90’s violin-tone. It’s well built,
well designed and well thought out. The designer Dr. Z, personally
builds and inspects every amp. He does not employ students to build his
amps and he does not have a factory. He works out of his basement and
has resisted attempts to be bought by larger companies. He’s very
committed to making hand-built amplifiers for guitar players who are fed
up with paying exorbitant prices for vintage or retro gear. His
philosophy seems to be very simple: Hand-build a top quality, original
product, designed to last a lifetime which will become an extension of
the player’s personality and sound.
If you recall, Dr. Z was listed in Guitar Player™ Magazine’s 50 best
buys for 1995. With a price tag of under $1000.00, the Prescription
ought to shoot Dr. Z to the top of that list for 1996 and beyond. If you
want an amp with interchangeable modules, multiple channels, progressive
diode expansion, midi switching, LED’s, aged tweed, etc., look
elsewhere. If you want an amp with damn good tone, check out the Dr. Z
Prescription amp. You’ll be glad you did.

I've played at major jazz festivals (We opened up for Chick Corea) and I've
opened for Toshiko Akioshi, and many other jazz musicians. I've also taught
jazz guitar and advanced improvisation at the University level. Several of
my tunes were published in the latest copy of the Real Book. I've played at
Wolftrap in DC and other major jazz venues such as Blues Alley, One Step
Down, etc. I've played in bands with T. Lavitz (of the Dixie Dregs), Peter
Harris (formerly with Bruce Hornsby), etc. I did three years with the US
Army Jazz big band, and I've played many gigs with Danny Gatton, Keter

I don't own this amp, nor did I own the Prescription when I did the review
so your accusation doesn't even apply here. Additionally, I just did a
review of a PRS SAS that I "DO" own and it has MANY negative comments so I
believe you're unfairly characterizing me in a way favorable to the message
you're trying to convey.

I'm curious as to why you sold the Dr Z Prescription ...Sounded like an

Oh man, the Pig Roast is, like, the penultimate! The "Bunker" is a good gig,
until the good 'ol boys drink up all the beer in the place (usually by about
7:30), then they start to get ugly. What happened to your regular gig at

Rather then pay any attention to the current pissing contest, I'd like
to know how the new groove tubes KT-66's compare to the original KT-66's
which are hard to find and cost thru the nose. I had a pair in a '66
JTM-45 and they sounded great. Wish I still had that amp or at least the
tubes that were in it.

"MA" turned out to be a * man*, and the bait turned out to be the
*burgers*...it sort of all went down hill once we figured that out.

You're setting the pace; I'm just trying to follow your lead...learning from
the best, you might say. You should be encouraging me, and glad that I'm
striving to reach the heights which you have attained.
