Here's my project Marshall, a Haze40 repowered with a custom Ryan 1987 heart. The faceplates are of my design & had them locally laser cut & etch. The electrical chassis my own work, sent it off as a hollow shell to be populated with iron, toobs etc... and the maestro's wiring.
I dub thee loud bastard...

I do have a question about my last amp: should we pronounce it Dr "Zed" in NZ, or is it still a Dr "Zee"???

I'd go Zee, because it just sounds right. Much in the way no-one should say Zed Zed Top, regardless of how "z" is pronounced locally.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Although I do call Beyonce's husband Jay Zed. Just to annoy my kids, to be honest. They find it extremely irritating. But then, that's what dads are for. :wink:

No offense, but you're a drummer aren't you?

Also, when they're studying for their exams, I like to play them Jesus and Mary Chain songs. At volume. Until they come and yell at me to turn it down. Or the neighbours phone.

Personally I'd go with Dr Zed. But only because when a tube goes you'd get to say "Zed's dead man.... Zed's dead..."
