Default Vox amp for jazz?

Can the Vox AC15 or AC30 be a possibility for playing jazz? They sound VERY good in the music store, which is why im curious about how they would work in a jazz setting.

thanks

Scofield plays an AC30 - sounds good to me!

I use a Vox Valvetronix 60 as my main amp for jazz, plus occasional blues & rock gigs. It's a versatile workhorse, has a great modelling section that covers a whole bunch of Vox amp models and Fender sounds too, all of which I use regularly; plus Marshall & Mesa sounds, which I use rarely. It also has a bunch of usable programmable effects built in. Yes it's a little heavy, but worth it for the warm, full sound with my D'Angelico and for the convenience of having all my fx built in.

I use a Vox Pathfinder 10, and I love the sound I get from it. Now I'm a novice and my Pathfinder is the smallest most basic amp Vox makes, so I'm not sure what my opinion's worth. I know that Vox's seem more popular with rock and blues players than jazz players. I don't know why, really. Still, if I ever decided to take my playing out of the bedroom, I'd seriously consider an AC15 or AC30.
