The Dr. Z Route 66 Jr is here! The legendary Route 66 amp returns in a modern, stage-ready package. Born from decades of player feedback, the Route 66 Jr. captures the iconic "milkshake thick" tone of its predecessor in a compact 12-watt format that respects venue volume limits. Built on the same revered EF-86 pentode preamp that defined Dr. Z's reputation, this Class A single-ended design pairs a Genalex Gold Lion KT66 power tube with three selectable wattage settings—12, 6, and 3 watts—giving you flexibility from the stage to the studio to home practice. A first for the EF-86 line, the buffered effects loop keeps your delays and modulation pristine. The 1×12 combo houses the brand-new Eminence Platinum 40 Alnico speaker, exclusively featured in this amp. This debut speaker blends vintage American warmth with British character, delivering the complex, rich overdrive that made the original Route 66 a studio and stage staple for over 25 years. Simple controls. Legendary tone. Finally scaled for today's world.

Also a first, the Route 66 sound is in a 1×12 combo emblazoned with checkered basketweave grill cloth with it’s complex, rich overdrive being pushed through the brand-new Eminence Platinum 40 Alnico 12” speaker, a debut from Eminence. The Route 66 Jr. is the first amp to exclusively feature this stunning speaker, a perfect blend of vintage American tones, with a dash of British bite.
