Get your Dr. Z Carmen Ghia at Humbucker Music, the largest Dr. Z dealer in the world with the biggest inventory for sale! We know Dr. Z amps like the back of our hands, so if you have question, please ask away!The Dr.Z Carmen Ghia is one of the most desired amps in the boutique world with unsurpassed longevity in the high-end amp marketplace. This was the first amp offered by Dr. Z Amplifiers nearly 30 ago, and it consistently outsells every other boutique amp out there. Definitely a true classic!
Some people will look at the two knobs (volume and tone) and the 18 watt power rating and wonder if the Carmen Ghia will be able to deliver the goods. Of course, those of us more familiar with tube amp circuitry can attest that "less is more" applies to tube amps perhaps more than any other thing in the known universe. If you fall into the former category, sit back and read a spell. We'd like to educate you a sec if you're up to it. :)
In our physical store, the Dr Z Ghia is an amp we love to put people behind as often as we can (don't worry, we don't sell our floor demo amps on the internet). From the moment people start to play it, they can tell something more is going on. While indeed a seemingly simple circuit, the Carmen Ghia produces very complex tones and is known for being very reactive to the player. Play softer and get cleaner tones. Play a bit harder and hear the gentle overdrive and saturation.. Bite into the strings with attitude and the amp will respond in kind! This kind of quality makes an amp very fun and exciting to play. You may drop into your music room, basement, or rehearsal space for a quick fifteen minute jam and find yourself tied up for hours. It's happened...
As the volume is increased, tones get thicker and fatter and sustain is increased. The Ghia has a respectable and very usable amount of clean headroom, but as with 99% of all single volume amps, it does break up nicely at higher volume settings.
The Carmen Ghia has become a favorite in recording studios around the world, but it's also quite comfortable on stage competing with a rabid drummer. This is 18 watts of all tube, point to point, hand-wired, top quality amp here... It's much louder than the norm.

Very flattering
Color: Boho Print 03, Size: X-Large
Great shirts! I have a large bust, and they still look great! They're comfortable and don't cling, and they're machine wash and tumble dry low. This is my third one, and I may buy more.

Great shorts at a great price!
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
Great shorts for a great price. Needed to replace a few pairs of my gym shorts but didn’t want to spend $40+ on a pair. Found these and decided to give them a try. Since getting my first pair I’ve bought 4 more in different colors and have been wearing them daily. They fit great, true to size. Love the zippered pockets so I’m keeping my phone & wallet secure. Extremely lightweight & fast drying. These work great for gym or just casual shorts. 10/10 would recommend.

Nice shorts, fabrics thin but a great fit.
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Light Green, Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Light Green
These are nice shorts, free flowing thin but not too thin. Feel nice wearing, easy to move around in them.
I like the zipper pockets, things don’t fall out of my pockets now when driving or hiking.
These are great wearing while walking, hiking or jogging, really durable. Material is thinner than I’m use to but still nice.
These have nice elastic waistband plus a tie, I like this.
These are great wearing while playing basketball, has nice are flow and lets skin breath.

Great, comfortable athletic wear. As comfortable as boxers.
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Olive
These are my new favorite shorts. The fabric is durable, but light and breathable. The waistband is comfortable, and the drawstrings are good quality. I like the zippers on the pockets, which are also good quality, and are easy to grasp thanks to a rubber coating. There's also no static cling with these shorts, like what I get from the polyester shorts from wallyworld. If I had to nitpick, it would be concerning the design/fit of the front of the shorts. There's no pleat, or crotch, and this creates a slight "poochy" look, this also makes them more roomy, and easy to move around in though as well. I liked them enough to buy 4 more pair, and that's all you need to know. They wash well, and don't shrink.
