The Dr Z Route 66 32-watt head is a punchy little amp inspired by the Marshall Bluesbreaker sound from John Mayall's famous album of the same name. This one is from 2010, and is in Excellent condition with a nice Studio Slips cover. Glass seems good and it sounds just killer.
Dr. Z (Mike Zaite) has been making boutique amps since 1988 for the likes of Joe Walsh and Brad Paisley.

Here's what Dr. Z's site has to say:
"This is not a duplicate of the Marshall JTM-45, but completely original spin with new tonal end results. The Route 66 has an EF-86 front-end. For those not familiar with this tube, it is a 9 pin pentode that offers 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 Route 66 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 5U4 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."
