A great sounding class-A guitar amp with 2x10" speakers and reverb. This amp is in excellent condition with the only flaw being the tolex (black covering) lifting off the cab in spots. I've seen several of these amps do this, with a little time invested this could be pretty easily fixed. Get some handwired in the US, tube charged tone! Below is the amp's description from the Dr Z website and below that a link or two to YouTube videos, demos of this model.
After the success of the MAZ-38, and a more than a few requests for the same tone in a smaller package, the Doctor set off to create this little beauty. As a result, the MAZ-18 "Junior" was born. Like most offspring, this "chip off the old block" began to take on a personality of its own. While the overall "sound shape" is similar to the MAZ-38, the "Junior" has a bit more gain.
The end result is an amp that every strat player will love, but it's not only for strats. The "Cut" knob may be the most useful and versitile tone shaping tool on any guitar amp. Throughout its range, it produces a large variety of sounds to satisfy players using all guitars for most every style of music. The "Cut" knob is best used after the EQ is all set; turn it up for extra edge, turn it down for a more vintage sound.

"We found a need for a lower powered reverb combo and created the MAZ Jr. It has more gain and distortion than its big brother. Originally designed as a "grab-and-go" Studio and small club amp, it has made its way to some of the largest stages in the country. It's perfect combination of front end and output distortion, wonderful 3D reverb clean tone, matched with the sweetest top end response and tight low end has made this our most popular selling reverb combo last year.
