Seems like a killer amp for the money (100w, lightweight), BUT i wonder if it sits well in a mix because it's designed for use with a bass, is it possible to get 'deluxe reverb'/Dv-mark/Quilter tones out of this thing?

That is the amp I used on my gigs with a Holy Grail sitting on top of the amp running through the effects loop. It was me playing melodies and my buddy playing rhythm with backing tracks running through monitors.

I love my 40W Rumble. SO LIGHT. Great for bass. Decent for jazz guitar. 4 band EQ - I don't know the freqs but they're likely in the manual. Also sounds cool elec guitar with overdrive - really thumps!

What was difficult to dial in/out of the sound?
The promethean looks nice but it has a 10" speaker and is a tad heavier

I had the Rumble 150 head, but I wasn't satisfied with the amp. Too much bass! I guess if you play solo-guitar it might work. I sold because it didn't work for me in the mix. These days you have guitar specific solutions which might be a little bit more expansive but they are therefore fulfilling the purpose more adequately.

Before the invasion of smaller micro-amps, I used the Rumble 200 head on several gigs. The four-band eq and voicing are great, and the tone is warmer than that of G+K MB 200. Low weight but bulky dimensions compared to newer micros. As with most bass amps, no on-board reverb. The Vintage voicing has a tad of it. As for the Rumble 100 combo, a lot depends on the Eminence speaker, which obviously is meant for bass. Haven't tested one. Some smaller bass combos are quite nasal on guitar frequencies. Also, as evident from various Forum threads, "jazz guitar" means different things to different players. The amps listed in the opening message vary a lot in character. My general comment is: don't glue your eq settings, because you may/must change them for every venue and often during the gig as well.

And it wouldn't be me if I didn't mention my TOOB ultra-light cabs, which many pros are happily using, with a variety of amps. 12", 100W, 9-10 lb. Just today tested one with MB 200 and TC Hall of Fame reverb. Great tone and v-e-r-y loud if needed.

I see. You may find the Quilter quite bright, if you want to achieve a dark, smoky traditional jazz sound. 101R highly advisable for two reasons: ordinary EQ instead of the strange Tri-Q, and a reverb that's just about as good as it gets.
BTW, forgot to mention that I have twice approached Fender, suggesting they make a jazz guitar version of the Rumble 200 head, by replacing the voicings (and possibly, also the overdrive) with a decent reverb. First time, no response. Second time: "Right on!" End of story.
Good luck!
