Dr Z Route 66

Description
Based on Dr Z Route 66
 * HD500: PhD Motorway
 * Helix: Interstate Zed

One of the most original and successful, designers and manufacturers in the contemporary “boutique” scene, Dr Z is known for establishing new tonal templates, rather than cloning the vintage standards. The popular Route 66 is perhaps the best case in point: based around a pair of KT66 output tubes (a ruggedized, military-spec version of the 6L6), with an EF86 pentode in the preamp, the Route 66 manages to make the most of high-end “ultra-linear” output transformers that are popular in the tube audio world, but have foiled guitar amp makers for decades. The result is an amp that achieves an extremely touch sensitive, full- bodied “milkshake thick” overdrive when pushed, without ever losing its impressive clarity and definition. In short, a new and original classic.
