"...It
would be hard to match this amp even with the Shootout winners."
-Ken Fischer, Vintage Guitar
"...A
combination of Vox and Marshall tones, with magic of it's
own." -Guitar Player, February '97
General
Info
NOTE: as of Fall 2004, this amp is no longer in production.
It has been replaced by the Prescription Extra
Strength.
The Prescription
is one of the Doctor's first amps, and its reputation will allow
it to be one of the most popular Dr.Z amps for years to come. Players
across the country have sung its praises, critics have gushed, and
the word has spread. The Prescription is a British-voiced amplifier
with its own distinct personality.
The
tone of this amp screams rock and roll when cranked, but
when clean, its bell-like tone and piano-like clarity on the low
notes gives excellent articulation on complex chords. The Prescription
is complex and rich in harmonics, and gives incredible touch sensitivity
and string-to-finger feel. So whether you're looking for clean and
pretty, or crunch of doom for some rippin' blues slide, the 'Script
may be the amp for you.
"The
popularity of 4 EL-84 amps was the catalyst for the design of the
RX. I have never been satisfied with cloning a vintage amp and calling
it myown. The RX was conceived on a clean sheet of paper creating
a versatile single channel amp with simple user friendly features.
Idesigned an amp with such a wide band of rich tones its user list
varies from Billy Gibbons to Steve Earle to Neil
Zaza "

mentality to try and nail down a complex thing like tone into just
one catchy phrase, this one would be something like 'Sounds like
Marshall and Vox had a baby..."read

"...Many companies claim their
ams are so good they become 'an extension of your instrument'. Well,
Dr. Z is one of the few who in my opinion has full right to say
so. "read more
