The Smallest and Loudest Amp For On-Stage Monitoring An Amp Modeler: The ZT Lunchbox

[@danielktdoranie]

I had a super negative experience with ZT Amplifiers. I bought a new ZT Amplifiers “Club” model. A few years back. I bought it new from a retailer here in Ireland and I guess they had it a while as when I bought it ZT had already stopped making it. The amp had this horrible ground noise, no matter where you used it. I made it sure it was in a grounded outlet, tired different places (my home, a friend of mine’s house, a few different venues). I contacted ZT about it and it was clear they had zero desire to help, kept trying to blame me, my guitars, or the outlets in my home. This without ever having any evidence. When I tried to send it in for warranty repair they refused. They told me to take it back to the retailer, I explained they were out of business and ZT amps reply was more or less “tough luck”. I won’t ever buy a product of their’s again.

I’m sorry to hear about that. I bought this one used, so I’ve never dealt with the company. I know they don’t seem very active now and they never really caught on, maybe their business practices held them back.
