Are there any tonal differences in the clean channel of the DV Mark Micro 50, the Micro 50 II, and the Micro Jazz? I am very satisfied with the Micro 50 all white knob version, but wonder if I should upgrade? I use the head for clean jazz only. Thanks.

I have the Micro50, Micro50II and a DV Little Jazz which is basically the Micro Jazz with a speaker. The clean channels all sound the same to me, compensating for differences in the speaker and cabinet. I can't tell any difference between the two heads on the clean channel.

50 tube watts or 50 SS watts? How loud is this amp? Louder than say a 15-watt Princeton? A 22-Watt Deluxe?

Thanks Lawson, good information! Do you hear any difference in the reverb. IIRC the reverb was improved in the Micro50 II?
It would make sense that the Micro 50 Jazz has the same circuitry and named "Jazz" by the absence of the drive channel?
Bach5G, the amp is SS and devivers 50W at 8ohm and 60W at 4ohm load. I can play smal to medium clubs with it. My experience is that it is much louder than what a Princeton can deliver clean. I never played a deluxe on stage.

A good tone tip for the straight m50, make sure every single parameter for the o.d. is set to 0 when on the clean channel. it does slightly color the sound

All watts are the same, measured the same. But wattage and loudness are not the same. Wattage ratings are not standard. This has been discussed at length in other threads.

I use a VanAmps Sole Mate instead of the DV micro reverb. It colors the tone in a pleasant way IMO, a soft presence or something like that, it opens up the sound... The reverb of the DV micro is not bad, but I have to turn it up too much to make it sounding good. The VanAmps changes the dry signal in a pleasant way so I can go with only a little reverb.
Marwin, I do not hear any difference in the clean channel when turning the drive knobs to zero..

Big NOPE from my side. :-(

Hope this helps any who wonder!
