Dr. Z presents the CAZ-45 in collaboration with Carol Ann Amps! 

I'm really glad to see Alan Phillips working with amps again. While I never was fortunate to own his amps, I always enjoyed his philosophy on design and tone. Hearing an amp collaboration between Alan Phillips and Dr. Z was a great way to start off the day.

+1 to the guitar player for the Rick Beato Everything Music t-shirt.

It's always great when the amp designers talk and explain in details about the product launching. Keep doing what you guys are doing. 👍

What a beautiful amp.

Keep on innovating!!!

Looking good in the new shades Dr. 🤠🎸🤟

Alan Phillips is a fucking legend and a hell of a good bloke. Thankyou for taking the time to work with him.

Always great information.

DAMMIT Z! I'm broke cut it out... killer sounds great!

Holy smokes Dr. Z! I sure hope this isn’t a limited run. The amp is actually a collaboration between you, Alan Phillips, and the late great Ken Fischer, to be honest. I know he would be proud of you both if he was still with us. You and Alan have created a freaking masterpiece! I think I might love this even more than the Z- Wreck! Great call using the transformer that Kenny designed for you. This amp slices through the mix without being harsh or brittle at all. Also, great playing Adam! You have an awesome touch and it really highlights what this amp can do. Oh yeah, those gutshots look like art too! I’ll stop blubbering now and put something up for sale so I can buy this.

How great is that. I don't own a Dr. Z amp but I have played them. Absolutely love Carol Ann Amps. That Alan is back in Amplification in collab with Dr. Z are good news. Hope to see and hear more soon.

Amazing sounding amp!

Sounds incredible!

DR Z and Alan Philips have created a gem of of an amp!

Doc! You and Alan have truly outdone yourselves here! Wow that sounds amazing. Can’t wait to purchase!!!!!

Wow! What a great sounding amp! I am a big fan of my beautiful red covered M-12 head, but having one of these wouldn’t bother me! Greetings from Mexico!

Love that Scorpions jam too. yeah .

Great sounding amp. It kinda reminds me of a Marshall Bluesbreaker tone or JTM 45 with a boost added. :)

Delighted to see this. I'm a big fan of you both - the OD2 and the EZG50 are two of my favorite amps ever- and it's great to see Alan work on amps again. Cheers to you both.

Really dig the new glasses Doc! The amp is awesome also. Can’t wait to play one.

First, great description and enthusiasm in your presentation Doc, also great sound and tone of the amp. Your killing me Doc i'm 74,too old to buy anymore, so as great as this is i fortunately have your Maz18 junior and and EZG50, but keep up the great collaborations and designs.

At last. I have been waiting for a video from Dr Z for a long time. Keep it up.

I enjoy anything with the TJB in it. Thank you.

NICE!

I’ve compared through headphones, this amp and a Bugera 6260 come very close to each other. I knew it reminded me of something. I may have to look into one!

That's a great sounding amp!

Sounds Killer! Starting @ 8:20

This is going to be a cool Collab!! Always thought CA amps were great wish I could've owned one.

8:19 shred! Kick booty. OMG yes! oh yes. Super sound! Sounds a little George Lynch-ish?

Sounds incredible! When will she hit stores?

This is pretty cool. I like high Gain myself so it's really more about texture and response / EQ than it is about actual gain. The aggressiveness thing is brilliant if it can like adjust the compressiveness or the snarl. Like my two favorite amps are the JSX and 5150, and the first is very compressed and exaggerated snarl, and the 5150 has a more traditional rhythm channel with more authentic dynamics (I avoid the lead channel).

Level, sensitivity and “agression” settings seem like very useful features 😳. Recognised a bit of Satriani in the demo 🤓

Someones been watching Doug Demuro videos

Very nice, is it hand wired? Or PCB?

Mr Z, you have sold me on your amps. You are just the nicest guy ever and make hand made turret boards to boot!.... Only problem is I need to figure out which amp is for me... something like a nix of a classic JCM800 and Plexi 50. Well, this CAZ 45 may be the amp for me! Any suggestions? Many thanks. Peace and love.

How much is it - $9999?

This amp sounds awesome......I love the cathode bias 6L6 thing👍.....really warms/softens things up a bit. Is the CAZ45 wired in Triode?

So, I just sent my Maz 18 NR to y'all to have the MKii update done. Here's my question; Is that level knob (on the CAZ-45) a post phase-inverter master volume? And if it isn't, how does that compare to the post phase-inverter master volume that will be installed in my Maz?

You need to wear shorts and a t-shirt to discuss "quirks and features." Great sounding amp!

2:20 ME: O how I wish I knew what frequencies were "sculpted" out! Alan: if I tell you I'll have to kill you! {just joking of course,,,,,} ,this amp design and production = grand slam out the park touchdown!!! ; P > Blessings for your zeal, efforts, dedication and love of tone!!!
