As far as the Gibsonsette goes... It works after new tubes, but it does need the caps replaced.
I think I'm going to do the Gibsonette myself, but the GA40 I'm sending out... probably to Mark at Victoria.
Both amps do work, but not up to par. With so much gear, it's hard to keep up on maintenance as I
like to spend my time playing with it all.
As far as the Dr. Zs go, I'm not a distributor, but I do think they are the best value in a US built hand-wired tube
amp... BAR NONE! So I started adding to my collection along with Marshalls and Fenders and other good sounding
tube amps.
One thing that Mike Zaite (Dr. Z) does right is to keep his amps affordable for the local weekend players like me,
while still building world class amps... Just ask Buddy Whittington, Brad Paisley, Joe Walsh, and me!
Thanks!
