Default Lunchbox Acoustic with solo Archtop?

Now that I've decided to get a fully hollow archtop - probably laminated with a single set in humbucker - I'm confident it will sound great with my JazzAmp112. But for solo work (its primary targeted use) I was wondering if anyone is using a Lunchbox Acoustic with one. Big volume would not be a requirement. Thanks!

I picked up a lb acoustic on craigslist a month or so ago. It has quickly become my go to "lessons" amp for archtop and semi hollow guitars.

It's actually pretty loud, but with a guitar pickup you have to run the gain high, and the sweep of the volume is much different than on that of the original lunchbox, it gets gradually louder almost all the way up the dial (whereas the original lb was really maxed on volume by "noon")

It's a cool amp...no holy grail of tone, but very useable and very portable.
