What is your favorite guitar amp for jazz?

[Rufes]

If you had to choose only one amp for jazz, which one would be?

[Skip Ellis]

Evans

[Greentone]

Evans is great.

I use Polytone.

[pauln]

Twin Reverb, vibrato channel #2 input, tones [T=1 M=10 B=1], reverb=2 using 12AU7.

[rpjazzguitar]

64 Ampeg Reverberocket

[ES125er]

I’ve been using a Rivera Jazz Suprema pretty much exclusively for years.

Not saying that I could not be equally happy with other amps, but I simply never felt the need to look further.

[Stringswinger]

Polytone head with RE Stealth 10 cabinet.

[Cunamara]

Tweed Deluxe 5E3 clone... 'cuz it's what I have. I also have a Clarus 2r with a Raezer's Edge 12" cab; great sound, but I like the bit of distortion the 5E3 can provide. Plus setup, teardown and portability is better with a combo amp.

[Hammertone]

I laugh at you and your puny amps.
If I had to choose only one amp for jazz, it would be my Ampeg B12XT.

[Litterick]

Princeton Reverb II with EVM-12L. Seemingly capable of being any amp you want. Big mids.

[rmpmcdermott]

Depends on the guitar. Since I mainly play Strats and not archtops/hollow bodies I'm going to say a Super Reverb. I love me some 4x10s.

[mad dog]

So far, Polytone MB II from the 80s.

[vintagelove]

Moving it not considered, my 64 super reverb is amazing.


That being said, I still vote polytone. Because, when a couple hundred dollar amp can hold its own against one of the holy grails, it’s a good day.

roland microcube ... works great with my peerless Monarch...bought for £10 on Gumtree...just sold the little jazz ...need dough

[snoskier63]

Henriksen JazzAmp is the one.

[ptuner1]

Hendrikson. 310 with Ray extension. w/ gibson L5 wesmo

[Rufes]

It is great to read so many different choices.

[GNAPPI]

Polytone 102V, this amp makes shit gits sound GR8! I came into it late in life, it's a bummer that Polytone is gone.

[Bflat233]

Quilter Micropro 200-8

[JazzNote]

My Acoustic Image Clarus2R plus Raezer's Edge Stealth 10

[boatheelmusic]

GB Hot Rod Deluxe

[carlescountry]

Tube Amp: GLB Sound GIG 50R

Solid state: AI Clarus 2R + RE Twin 8 light or Stealth 12 ER

[Jim Soloway]

DV Mark Jazz, either the combos or head with cab.

[mr. beaumont]

My Henriksen head and redstone speaker cab.

[Just Russ]

I like using my iPad.

Here’s a video I recorded yesterday with the iPad as my amp:

In a close second is my 1967 Ampeg Reverberocket II that was modded for different tubes before I got it.
