Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
The Dr. Z EZG-50 Head is a beautifully voiced 50-watt tube amplifier that captures classic American-inspired tone with exceptional depth and clarity. Powered by 6L6GC tubes and a tube-driven rectifier, it delivers full, articulate cleans with a smooth, responsive feel that blooms naturally as you play. The onboard reverb, shaped by dedicated dwell and mix controls, adds lush, dimensional ambience that enhances every note. Its straightforward control layout makes dialing in your sound effortless, whether you prefer sparkling clarity or a fuller, more saturated response. Rich, open, and incredibly musical, this EZG-50 brings a refined voice that feels right at home in any setting!
From Dr. Z Amplification
“My spin on the blackface reverb head that never was.” – Dr. Z
The wait is finally over… the EZG-50 is here! The EZG-50 has the definitive 6L6 clean sound. Whether you are lusting after the classic “El Mocambo” tone, looking to surf the big waves, or want twang straight out of Bakersfield, the EZG-50 will satisfy the most discriminating blackface tone seeker. This is a sound that has been missing in the Z line up until now.
Much time and care was taken in the development of the EZG-50. The seed of the amp came from a new 6L6 output transformer designed for Z Amps by Ken Fischer of Trainwreck Amps. The output transformer has a very unique impedance not used by other American amp makers making it one of the key factors to the EZG-50s sound. NOS Allen Bradley carbon comp resistors are used in all critical tone positions of the EZG-50 circuit. These classic resistors add a warmth and depth to the tone that only they can give.
The EZG-50 features a 2-knob, all-tube spring reverb. The Dwell and Mix controls give you full authority over your reverb needs. Anything from a subtle tail on the note to a full-on surf assault is at your command. You also get a full EQ and a Pre and Post master volume, allowing you to achieve tube saturation and overdrive with control over the volume level. Around the back panel you’ll find 16, 8, and 4 ohm speaker outs to accommodate any cabinet.
With 50 watts of clean power, 2-knob reverb, and a tube rectifier, the EZG-50 is the blackface head that never was…a’la Dr Z!
