Up for sale, a 2000 Dr. Z Carmen Ghia in excellent condition and in good working order. One of the most popular and enduring amp designs from Dr. Z, the Carmen Ghia delivers 18 watts of pure, dynamic tube tone from a pair of EL84 power tubes. There's a warmth, complexity, and sustain to clean settings, achieving a roundness and depth that's fairly unique to this circuit in a world of EL84 based boutique amps. With simple Volume and Tone controls, this amp is very intuitive and easy to use, and the amp really shines when you crank up the volume and start to push the amp into sweet, saturated overdrive. The sustain is incredibly sweet and musical, and the harmonic complexity and richness of the drive has made the Carmen Ghia a favorite for both stage and studio work.

This amp has just been given a thorough checkup by our techs here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, and everything is functioning as intended with tubes that have plenty of life left. Cosmetically, the amp is quite clean as well, with smooth red elephant/levant tolex only seen on earlier Z amps and accented by salt & pepper grillcloth. The faceplate is quite clean as well, and this is a near mint example with no notable wear that would look great in a studio.
