No reason you can't get a good jazz tone out of that amp.

So...for the 12th time...how do you have the amp set?

Do you think it sounds bad when you listen to the video? Or in general?

It sounds alot like that is mostly acoustic guitar and very little amp?

Just a thought...

Good question. But I have one of those amps, and here's why your question may be hard to answer. There are two presets and a manual setting (not to mention that the knobs do different things depending on which amp model you dial up). You can't just look at the knobs and say gain on 7, bass on 6, midrange on 5, treble on 4, and so on. You can say it, but it may not reflect the levels you dialed in unless you are on the manual setting.

It would be great if the knobs were motorized and moved to the correct position for the preset selected. Or it could have a general display screen or an indicator on each knob. Then the amp would cost twice as much. In which case I probably would not have one.

Just a thought...

Maybe not the exat settings for the video. But hopefully he has some settings that he likes on the amp?
