Used Dr. Z X-Ray Head
Used 2024 Dr. Z Amplification X-Ray Head
Serial Number: II-52069
Condition: Excellent condition, 2024 model. Amp shows little to no wear aside from marks on the top from being stacked with another amp.
This Dr. Z Amplification X-Ray Head is a boutique tube amplifier from one of Cleveland's most respected amp builders, born as a modern amalgamation of two beloved Dr. Z designs, the Stang Ray and the DB4. This single-channel, 30/15-watt head is in excellent used condition, with the only wear being surface marks on the top from being stacked with another amp during use. At 34.0 lbs., it's a substantial, road-ready head built around Dr. Z's signature 6n14n power tube complement rather than a lightweight boutique lunchbox.
Under the hood sits a preamp stage anchored by an NOS 5879 ruggedized pentode alongside a 12AX7 and 12AU7, feeding a power section of four 6n14n tubes — a mil-spec EL84 variant, cathode biased for low-maintenance reliability. That pairing is what gives the X-Ray its dual personality: chiming, British Invasion-style clean headroom at lower volume knob settings that pushes into a mid-forward, saturated grind as you dig in. A front-panel half-power switch drops output from 30 watts down to 15 for a smoother, more compressed feel at club volumes, while Volume, Tone, Cut, and Master controls handle shaping and overall level. A single 1/4" input feeds the circuit, and 4/8/16 ohm outputs make it compatible with virtually any cabinet.
Whether you're a country or roots-rock player chasing that snappy, spanky Stang Ray jangle, a gigging guitarist who wants cranked-up tone at manageable volume, or a tone chaser after NOS mil-spec tubes without the new-amp price tag, the X-Ray Head delivers. This 2024 Dr. Z X-Ray Head (Serial #II-52069) is ready to go. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Dr. Z Amplification dealer.
