to let you try I feel sure that you will approve of it.
You know that I would not recommend a half assed amp.

DV Mark are pretty responsive tho, try emailing them and asking about the differences between the Micro 50 and the Jazz version of it. They can clarify.

AFAIK the only discussions of the jazz model are included in the thread discussing the various models. The jazz version is too new to have many owners, I think. I would have bought it instead of the regular Micro50 if it had been available, but when I purchased it that's all there was. All the other variants are very new, and I haven't heard any of them. I sold my Micro50, for various reasons, but mostly because it sounded so close to my Little Jazz and Clarus, and I had no use for a distortion channel. I replaced it with a GK MB200, and I'm happy I did. It's smaller, lighter, and sounds a little different, more transparent and airy. I would be surprised if the DV Mark jazz head sounded radically different from the rest of the Micro50 head models for clean, but I've been surprised before.

The reasons for choosing one over the other would be whether you wanted an effects loop (the Mark II Micro50 head) or XLR direct out (Jazz Little or the older Micro50 head). I think DVMark also has done a fine job designing the cabinet of the Jazz Little. It has "something" special-maybe how it's ported, mounted, maybe it's the speaker, I don't know, but it's a nice, fat sounding cabinet.
So for all intents and purposes, I'm ready to conclude the Jazz Little simply has the Clean section of the Micro50 head, and I imagine that's what the Micro50 Jazz uses as well.

Nice Lawson.
I purchased a DV Mark Little Jazz last year, very pleased with it, great jazz tone.

Hey Lawson,
Have you messed with the EQ settings on your LJ much?
Flat is fine, but I also like a little boosted mid with the treble rolled way off.
That mid knob has something goin' on . . . just sayin'
I love the EQ section on this amp

Really enjoying my lil jazz amp but wondered about the use of a 4 ohm cabinet vs 8 ohm. I asked DV Mark and this was the answer:
Hi Tom,
thanks for writing.
The speaker output is in parallel with the internal speaker that is 8 ohm impedance, so adding an 8 ohm external speaker the total impedance will drop at 4 ohm (that is the minimum load for the amp).
Feel free to contact us for any further question.
Best Regards.

i followed up with the question: with this information it appears that I can run the 4 ohm cabinet if I shut the internal 8 ohm off with the on/off button, correct?
i know it will work, I would just like to see DV Mark confirm what seems to me to be obvious?
No answer yet.

I really like how the Little Jazz works as a recording amp.
My gear is all in the corner of the living room. The ambient noise has made mic’ed recording unsatisfactory. With the LJ, I use the XLR out straight into my digital Portastudio. I turn off the speaker on the LJ and monitor recording through the Portastudio’s headphone jack.

Hi,
Just bought the Meinl MQW-10 10 inch Professional Cuica Bag
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00275G7OE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
for my Little Jazz. It is a perfect fit and very high quality if anyone is thinking about purchasing,
Cheers, Simon

Couldn't resist 20% off with no tax on the Little Jazz at Musician's Friend so I ordered one. They are out of stock but supposed to ship on 4/9.

Has anyone used the "Aux" input on their DV Mark Little Jazz?
Mine is very noisy - useable but not ideal.
Aside from this, I couldn't be happier with the amp. It's my go-to gigging amp now.
-
I had honestly never tried the aux input, but I just did. It's not noisy, it's a rather faithful reproduction of the input, but it's loud. The volume control doesn't affect it at all, and the volume control on my Android phone didn't work with Google Music player. Really good sound, but louder than I wanted in the practice room. I may be missing something.
Edit: My phone glitched, and the volume control had no effect on anything. A reboot fixed it, and it controls the volume to the LJ just fine. No noise, and it sounds good.Last edited by sgosnell; 03-27-2018 at 09:18 PM.

Was very noisy with my mobile phone - but adequate to practise with. I would only use it for home practice with iRealB.
The amps volume control has no effect on the Aux level from what I can tell.
I'm really impressed with the tone coming through headphones and line-out.
Even without the speaker it's a good sound, would be great for direct recording.
-
Yeah, ISTR that the aux in volume is controlled only by the external input device. I never use the aux in because I have a good stereo amp and speakers in my practice room, so I use that. I think I tried it once when I first bought it, just to see how it sounded, and then forgot about it. The aux in would be very useful if I didn't already have a better system available. I haven't found anything about the LJ that sounds bad.
