Dr Z Route 66 - Musictoyz.com your total online boutique music store for all your guitar equipment needs !

The Route 66 is an all original Dr.Z design based on the incredible KT-66 tube originally built by Genelex. This tube generates the "Milkshake Thick" tones, as heard on John Mayalls "Bluesbreaker" album featuring Eric Clapton (the "Beano Album" as it is known to many).

This is not a duplicate of the Marshall JTM-45, but completely original spin with new tonal end results. The "Route 66" has a EF-86 front-end. For those not familiar with this tube, it is a 9 pin pentode , offering incredible gain and input dynamics. It is normally used in high-end stereos, most often for its accurate transfer of input signal, balance, and headroom.

The amp features a deceptively simple tone stack, consisting of Volume, Bass, and Treble, which feeds a non-negative feedback Phase Inverter, for true harmonic content and full output tube dynamics. It has a GZ-34 Tube Rectifier to complete the round enveloped tone. The amp has piano-like clarity with endless sustain, even at low volumes. Its 32 watts truly sing when driven hard in a focused, thick distortion, with the tightest bass response you've ever heard.

The Route 66 received the first ever "Editors' Pick Award" from Guitar Player Magazine.

The amps we have IN STOCK are the exclusive color combo of Beige Tolex and Black and White "Pepper" grill cloth. These are made exclusively for Music Toyz by Dr Z and are the coolest color combo. If you want standard black or something you may request this but it will have to be ordered !!
